When you're walking down the street no one sees a V.I.P,
|
I.e genius artist of our time
|
Well I'll be the first on line to say I get it I get it I get it...
|
I've been waiting for so long to see your face.
|
I tried this one time and there was this huge line
|
And now we're standing in this very small space.
|
You never worry about getting rain on your brain,
|
Getting sun on your fun,
|
Getting sleet on your feet cuz today's the day.
|
I get it I get it I get it...
|
Tres Bien...
|
All the critics tend to blast you.
|
Dumb ideas will outlast you.
|
Money's gone you got no grants.
|
I'll push your work with my bare hands.
|
Because they will try to convince us that we have arrived,
|
That we are already there, that it has happened.
|
Because we need to live in the place where we are truly alive,
|
Present, safe, and accounted for.
|
Because we refuse to allow our writing, songs, art, activism
|
And political histories to be suppressed or stolen.
|
Because we refuse to be embarassed about the mistakes
|
And faults and choose to move forward
|
Wit a political agenda bent on freedom of all.
|
I get it I get it I get it...
|
Tres Bien...
|
Cuz today's the day...
