lyrics

Disconnected
When we're standing in a line
Breath is selfish
Like mine

If I stand here
And just scream into this sea
Can I buy it
Autonomy

If I leave
Who will advocate for me
Make me bleed
So you can keep your luxury

If it were me
If you were my mother
How would it feel
To watch me suffer

If I leave
Who will advocate for me
Anxiety
All my empathy and grief
Make me bleed
So you can keep your luxury

We do not have enough police officers
To go around the entire state and enforce mandates
Again, it is up to the people to determine
What kind of precautions need to be followed

Bill - send me the heartbeat bill
And I would sign it
If there is not a right to life,
Then what right is there
What rights exist
If not the elementary, fundamental, profound right to life

We have a duty. It is a duty that we share
As Americans and as South Carolinians
To protect life above all else
That's what we're here for

If you sit back silent, then you are in agreement
And therefore you assert yourself at enmity with the people
Let these people peacefully protest
And if you do your job professionally
And without racist intent
(So who possesses that right?)
Without systemic racism
(So who possesses that right?)
If you protect the people and serve the people
(So who possesses that right?)
Then you won't have to come out in full force
(So who possesses that right?)
It says we the people of the state of South Carolina
In convention assembled, grateful to God for our li-
