about

Coqui Lullaby is an undocuCreation of love with sounds, breaths, and images of the world we have been growing. Affirmed and uplifted by the voices of many ancestors present in this song and video, Coqui Lullaby is an offering to all beings who connect with these human experiences of life & survival.

We still spring up when the seasons change.

Ihasik,
Soultree

lyrics

oo ooo oo ooahh ahhhh oh (vocal overtones)

before you fall asleep before you fall into a dream
and believe what they say
do you think you can wait,
stay awake with me

they wanna separate us
criminalize and debate us
we won’t allow it we won’t allow it
our fists are too high in the clouds
see
and when we pump we summon the rain
the power of water soothing the pain
they can keep testing there’s nothing gain
seeds that we are we have trained our brains
mind over matter freeing our chains
hatred they bring don’t mean a thang
we still spring up when the seasons change
seasons change oh

oo ooo oo ooahh ahhhh oh

I know we really thought we'd get free like this
If you've lived a life of deficits it's easy to dismiss
Your own well being forget you're breathing
Lost in the grind forget you are alive
And have so much to live for
Starting from your core
I hope that you remember
This message from ancestors
we are still breathing
we are still breathing
in everything you do
They’re deep inside of you
You can call on them
if someone attempts
to dim your light
But when day turns into night
It's time for you to rest
Soon we manifest
Our purpose
I need you to be well
Your life is worth it
I need you to be well
on the way
On the way on the way

Preferably the whole way
Cause you’re my ride or die

But I'd rather you live
your whole and fullest life

oo ooo oo ooahh ahhhh oh
