Beyoncé-Renaissance Album- Break My Soul
Now, I just fell in love
And I just quit my job
I'm gonna find new drive
Damn, they work me so damn hard
Work by nine
Then off past five
And they work my nerves
That's why I cannot sleep at night
The above lyrics tell a story most people know so well, bondage of situations that drains/burnouts because of peoples’ and places’ parasitic behaviors. Break My Soul represents the men and women who metaphorically believe they're handcuffed. The constant fighting against systemic conservative perspectives and ideologies ultimately manifesting into sleep disorders, negative self-identities, paranoia, and other self/communal sabotaging traits.
Currently, the fight to defeat laws like the ban on adoration -Heart Beat Bill, Don’t Say Gay, banning Critical Race Theory, attacks on school books seems never ending. For instance, banning books started in 1624 because an English businessman Thomas Morton wrote a scathing tell all book (English Canaann, published- 1637) about the Puritans. The book was banned do to harshly criticizing the Puritans’ customs comparing them to crustaceans as well as other things. Constructing current regulatory situations into a replay of what the conservative majority doesn’t want people to do- CRITICIZE while making people aware of the contradictions and fabrications.
The unchecked appears unchanging for minorities, contentious attack on minorities' way of life; limiting the constitutional freedoms (life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness) of a diverse and inclusive community. Over the past couple of years, the collective appears to have initiated breaking free from the continuous projection of conservative conformities. Eliminating the need for external validation, and code-switching, while telling the rest of society it’s their power and they are taking it back, from politics to home matters.
Beyoncé's ability to gracefully serenade this message to the world is what musical artistry is supposed to do; reflecting the navigation of societies’ situational constraints.
I'm takin' my new salvation
And I'ma build my own foundation, yeah
Got motivation (Motivation)
I done found me a new foundation, yeah (New Foundation)
I'm takin' my new salvation (New salvation)
And I'ma build my own foundation, yeah (Own)
Speaking of all the struggles, and leaving it all behind, rebuilding. Rapper Big Freedia's rememberable voice backs it up with a powerfully difficult word, RELEASE, leaving it to vibrate the conscious.
Each law feels like an attack on current cultural norms. These laws like“Killing being Woke” with an Act in Florida called Stop Woke Act materialize as containment against attacks the conservative norms. Instead of assimilating the culture norms, it’s created more divisive interaction and volatility among the people. Dismantling interaction instead of evolving it with daily toxicity. When the world began to open they were thrusted back into daily perniciousness instead of peace. The Foundation for a Better Life has tried to combat this reminder of being grateful with its Pass it On campaign. The people deserve better, their souls not to be broken. To realize, yes, your phone is broken doesn’t mean your spirit should be giving power and efficacy one needs to keep living their best lives.
Release ya anger, release ya mind
Release ya job, release the time
Release ya trade, release the stress
Release the love, forget the rest
Cleaning house your house so to speak, cleaning out all the negative. Release which doesn’t serve the greater purpose.Freeing you up to just BE, free to be who your really are a Rich Spirit.
Kendrick Lamar prolifically revealed this in his new Album Mr.Morale & the Big Steppers- Rich Spirit
Tryna keep the balance, I'm stayin' strong (Ooh)
Stop playin' with me 'fore I turn you to a song (Yeah)
Stop playin' with me 'fore I turn you to a song (Ooh)
Ayy, bitch, I'm attractive (Ah)
Can't fuck with you no more, I'm fastin', ugh (Ooh)
Bitch, I'm attractive (Ah, ah, ah, ah)
Can't fuck with you no more, I'm fastin', ugh
This is not just an internal mirror to what people want it’s an overall world view. People are tired and drained of society’s rules which bind them from succeeding. From a plane’s eye view, the majority of people are asking for change. Changes in the way negative perspectives have become the norm.
