The Songs for the Movement section of N.A.H. houses selected protest songs for social justice from the past and the present.
I’m trying to build a list here, and will update this category periodically, but feel free to share any suggestions you may have in the comments or via email.
Today’s entry in Songs for the Movement is “CPR” from Ali Shaheed Muhammad, featuring Merna, JaPoet, and David Luke.
“If you’re here to protect me, then who will save me from you?”
“What if God came down and it was he who walked down the street.
Yes it was he you brought to his feet and it was he you held to the ground…
Pleading ‘I can’t breathe!
Oh with this hold on me!
This can’t be humanity, I just want to be free.”
