And for my grand finale I am posting THIS ONE. Yes it is a political Hip Hop tune.

THE LETTER OF YOUR LAW

I get the feeling that political songs are not very popular this FAWM but I thought I would finish off with this anyway. Because it is political and is about anger I could not think of anything to do but yell! Hence you do not have the pretty folk song that you may come to expect from me but a rather ugly hip-hop one!. Oh well. My very first HIP HOP song. FAWM is certainly a good place to experiment and BIAB is the most versatile tool for trying out something new.

I will say that I wont be putting it on my FAWM album which will be called "A song to wake you in the morning"!!

It is based on the poem "The White House" by Claude McKay, 1889 - 1948

Lyrics:

Your door is shut against my face,
As sharp as steel with discontent;
But with courage And with grace
I bear my anger proudly

Chorus
I hold myself to the letter of your law
I bear my anger proudly

The pavement stabs beneath my feet,
And passion strides upon the street;
Where boldly shines your shuttered suit
I bear my anger proudly

Chorus
I hold myself to the letter of your law
I bear my anger proudly

I search for wisdom every hour,
inside my body Low and raw,
And buried deep I find my power
I bear my anger proudly


Chorus
I hold myself to the letter of your law
I bear my anger proudly
