Honouring Indigenous People everywhere ❤️ Land Back. Reparations. No more stolen sisters. Free Palestine. Save Congo. Free Sudan. 🇸🇩 Save the Rhino 🦏 Save the Earth 🌍 Stand for something or fall for anything. It’s time to stand up and be counted.
I wrote this song is an expression of freedom. A rebellion against the white suprem1st patriarchal system that has been siphoning our energy, life force and people and Mother Earth for hundreds of years.
As a mixed race woman from both African and European descent I call on the power of all my healed and pre colonial ancestors to break the chains of captivity and break the spell of colonization in my own mind and body and community.
And I call upon my é healed ancestors who played a part in harmful extractive ways to come forward and help put things right!
By singing this powerful invocation. Medicine is unleashed that helps all who hear it and all who sing it to WAKE UP and see truth
And have the courage to speak up against the injustice, indoctrination, rac1sm, genoc1de, fem1cide and all oppression everywhere. It is speaking truth to power and saying,
“Colon1zer! you have no jurisdiction here. You may not pass.! Give the land back!”
Sing it with me! Let us all collectively be free
Love you 🥰

🎶 Lyrics
I decolonize me
I clap my hands I stamp my feet and now I’m free.
You can’t colonize me
Cuz in my heart and in my mind I know I’m free.
Cuz you can never erase my story
And you can never erase my heart
And you can never erase the truth that flows in rivers through my veins
No you can never stop the storm that’s flowing.
I decolonize me
I clap my hands I stamp my feet and now I’m free.
You can’t colonize me
Cuz all my Grandmas and my Grandpas are with me!
Cuz you can never erase our stories
And you can never erase our hearts
And you can never erase the truth that flows in rivers through our veins
No you can never stop the storm that’s growing.
🌊
May this song awaken remembrance.
May it ignite courage.
May it help us all to decolonize — our hearts, our voices, our world.
