Substance > Style

The lyrics of this song give me an appreciation of women who are making things happen; it inspires me, keeps me going on the things I am passionate about. There are times when I feel like I'm out there on my own talking about the changes that need to be made, speaking to apathetic blank stares, writing letters to government offices that exist in thin air. It doesn't matter if I am. It doesn't matter if you are.

Keep fighting for it.

Life or Debt:
Woman you're my comrade, ride and die,
revolution-making mother earth standing with me in the grocery line
While I'm paying with a jar of pennies, nickels and dimes...
Moms tryin' to tell us not to protest instead pray for peace,
But that ain't the nature of the beast
So lady grab a bullhorn and take it to the streets
Yellin power to the people, el pueblo unido jamas sera vencido
Til the wealth is spread equal
You 21st century Gabriela Silang
Fierce like Lorena with a rifle in her arm

And I love how you don't like art without a message
I love it how you call some fellas on they fetish...
I love how you love the people as much as self
I love it how you want redistribution of the wealth
Third world sister, never sacrificing substance for style
But stylish with a golden type smile
I love it how you organize with other strong sisters
Love it how you talk about tearing down the system
Like a soldier, my dialectical reflection,
yes is the answer to your question.

Also, Hi5 for this man praising strong women.
