about

I wrote “Matter” when the protests started happening nationally for this resurgence of the Black Live Matter movement. I was creating a lot of art, at the time, (both visual and sonic) in tribute to Breonna Taylor, George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery etc…A lot of the visuals used in the video are those very same pieces. The song was brought to life by producer Sam Hoffman (Mereba).

Proceeds from this tune are going to Abundant Beginnings: givebutter.com/ABUNDANTBEGINNINGS

lyrics

Deep within
There’s a poisoning
in our spirit
In our country
In our neighbors
When they see us
Are we here
do we matter
All the blood
Over centuries
In the name of freedom
God and country
Our protectors
When they see us
Are we here
Do we matter



I ask this on the daily
I ask this for my babies still out there in the maybe
We wanna breathe again
I ask this to our families
Our mothers and our daddies
Still out behaving badly
We wanna breath again

To our friends
Shook and shattered
Scared to speak up
Against the patterns oh so clear
When you see us
Are we here
Do we matter


I ask this on the daily
I ask this for my babies still out there in the maybe
We wanna breathe again
I ask this to our families
Our mothers and our daddies
Still out behaving badly
We wanna breath again



We wanna breath again
We wanna breath again
We wanna breath again

I ask this on the daily
I ask this for my babies still out there in the maybe
We wanna breathe again
I ask this to our families
Our mothers and our daddies
Still out behaving badly
We wanna breath again
