GO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT (Coming January 2025)
© Brenda R. Carsey Why you wanna get me in a corner just so you can play Messed up games with me? You know you’re not smart and from the start I can see all of your seams Unraveling Try to hold yourself together, try to weather all the things Happening to you Don’t get me involved or take it out on me, baby I won’t take the abuse Baby, you’re coming on way too strong You’ve got too much that’s wrong And expect me to do something about it Baby, you’ve gotta work on yourself Please take your trash somewhere else You gotta go do something about it You’ve gotta stop protecting all the fear that you’re projecting Around everyone round you No, it’s not their fault, it’s not their ways, it’s not their habits It’s all coming from within you Too much fear of intimacy, too much fear of being seen For what you truly are It’s ok to get some help, organize your mental shelves It will take you far Baby, you’re coming on way too strong You’ve got too much that’s wrong And expect me to do something about it Baby, you’ve gotta work on yourself Please take your trash somewhere else You gotta go do something about it There just ain’t no way that you’re gonna get it straight unless You take a pause and regulate Process your fear, remove your hate Stop walking around projecting Stop assuming and guessing You’re stuck in your mental space Take a breath and feel some grace Don’t need to be using or abusing to be Don’t need to be hating or flexing on me You gotta stop this come up mentality Your purpose ain’t fighting or collecting things There’s too much drama while mamas press on There’s too much for me to fit in one song But I try cause I don’t know what else I can do I know you can change because I can too Baby, you’re coming on way too strong You’ve got too much that’s wrong And expect me to do something about it Baby, you’ve gotta work on yourself Please take your trash somewhere else You gotta go do something about it |

STAND UP (2022)
© Brenda R. Carsey Shit’s getting tough I’ve had enough Of the fighting, of the lying Of the hateful stuff Deception full range Perception real strange Sick people walkin’ around Try to disengage Too many liars start fires through the wires, babe Too many toons and goons for the hire, babe Too many fools with mouths wide open With no words spoken Not thriving, just coping Why you in denial? You know it’s not in style The world changes fast And it’s worth your wild To wake up and break up and shake up Stop wasting our time fool and shape up! Humanity faces a huge reckoning We’re all connected no matter what you believe Stop the hate and fear is what we’re beckoning We’ve got to grieve these thieves To achieve and leave Stand up and get ready for the marchin’ Bring your friends ‘cause we all gotta dive in Ain’t no rest when you gotta rise quickly No stress, all flex, can you feel me? |
