Lyrics

We up
Even when you knock us down
You ain't want us around.
Thought we were lost but we BEEN found
We up
Bad docs barely bat an eye
Black mental health rate high
Hmm I Wonder why
We up.
If I tell you that I know something
look at me like I'm dumb dumb.
You the one that has the dunce on
We up
If we say there's a problem there is,
I'm so sick of being dismissed.
Guess an illness for paid scripts
We up.
I don't need you to blame me
No solution call me crazy
Frankly that's just being lazy
We up
Do you know what it's like at a hospital
That's almost mission impossible
Treated by a doc who see a monster though

We up
We up cause we got that
Rainbow Rise
Cause we got that
Black Pride YYC
We up
We up cause we got that
Rainbow Rise
Cause we got that
Black Pride YYC
We up
We up cause we got that
Rainbow Rise
Cause we got that
Black Pride YYC
We up
We up cause we got that
Rainbow Rise
Cause we got that
Black Pride YYC

Melanin melanin means I'm shining real bright
Queer and melanin means I got the sparkle and shine
Melanin melanin means I'm shining real bright
Queer and melanin means I got the sparkle and shine

You know I wanted to believe
In a doc that looked like me
So far and a few in between
That will change though
Cause I shouldn't have to waste a minute
Or 15 trying to explain traumas I wasn't given
Society needs to change at least just for the children
Queer femme fat black check whatever box you want to fit me in go
Can we get some programs please
Teach those that don't look like me
Unlock spaces with no key but metaphorically.
The key is in education
Inside occupations with them complications. More than just saying,
Queer youth feel what's happening
Black trans youth under attack and I’m
Waking them up to the facts and them
Glad black pride be actioning up

We up
We up cause we got that
Rainbow Rise
Cause we got that
Black Pride YYC
We up
We up cause we got that
Rainbow Rise
Cause we got that
Black Pride YYC
