This song was written for the victims of the SFPD and police violence everywhere.
lyrics
Those who hunger for justice are now starving at the station door
Streets of the city, an SFPD killing floor
Will their children see more of the same, like targets in a video game?
The statue of St. Francis is weeping crimson tears
Blood of the innocent rushing to his ears
It's 12:01, motherfuckers, past time to change the guard at the gate
City of St. Francis presided over by this incarnation of hate.
Alex Nieto and Mario Woods, Luis Gongora, Amilcar Perez Lopez
And now Jessica Williams, systemically sent to their deaths
Too many before them to name
A local and a national shame

I have appreciated your music for over a decade. Even the misses are still base hits. Between collaring with Edan (looooooong time fav), Quelle, and Deca, I never know what to expect but I know it’ll always be a joy to listen to. Thank you for giving us as much music as you can. tavis206
Hey you there, do you love Jeffrey Lewis? Do you love Peter Stampfel? Are you intrigued by the notion of music that has spent so many years secretly soaking in laughter and joy that it is now downright psychedelic to look upon? Both Ways is the culmination of a decade's friendship and mutual inspiration, a behemoth of a double album, spectacular, unique. It is a signpost for drifting souls. Listen, laugh, wonder, delight, be made new. And play Orgone Accumulator fucking LOUD. Grain Sparrow

Just a beautiful jazzy rap album with buttery smooth flows versed with huge talent. It's not only lovely to the ears, but the lyrics are profound and empowering about the struggles that she faces. zhangtastic
