Double-jointed, triple threat
I'm not some method actress
Trying to see my, my descent
You're gonna have to play the tape backwards
Save that breath for choir practice
Got no time for my detractors
Standing on my staircase
All you are is a fire hazard

I've put my time in now
I'm vetted, uncontested
See how an honest answer shuts down
Motherfuckers asking trick questions
I'm out here, arms wide
Hiding nothing
I've done it all in broad daylight
And I left the cameras running

I'm the phoenix and the ash
Red eyes shining in the camera flash
My secret is I don't keep none, see
Something go ahead and say something
I ain't afraid of it
I don't drown, won't stay down
Heat finds a way to rise somehow
Scan the crowd as I'm coming out and I
Don't see too many rivals now

I don't need an agenda
I just tell the truth (yup)
Let it off the leash and
Don't touch it
It knows what to do
And I'm running a tight ship
Every deckhand here has a five-year plan
And a ice pick
They can write code, they can drive stick
I got an octave on you and a high kick
Don't blink, I don't block, I'm a bleeder
All I do is hit
I don't win them all but I'd say I take five out of six
Clock's running, better glove up
If you insist (okay!)
Let's see who's really counting coup
And who's been counterfeit

I'm the phoenix and the ash
Red eyes shining in the camera flash
My secret is I don't keep none, see
So go ahead and say something
I ain't afraid of it
I don't drown, won't stay down
Heat finds a way to rise somehow
Scan the crowd as I'm coming out and I
Don't see too many rivals now

Cut my own gills with a pocket knife
Turning my fingers in the sockets, my
Daily -zzzt- daily dose of, daily dose of lightning
Just buzzed enough to get me climbing up the kite string
And my back is aching, my belt's too tight
I brought a chisel tip to this pencil fight
No luck, just fortified dice
I'm going morning and night and
I'm really rising
The fire on the horizon

I'm the phoenix and the ash
Red eyes shining in the camera flash
My secret is I don't keep none, see
Something go ahead and say something
I ain't afraid of it
I don't drown, won't stay down
Heat finds a way to rise somehow
Scan the crowd as I'm coming out and I
Don't see too many rivals now

I'm the phoenix and the ash
Red eyes shining in the camera flash
My secret is I don't keep none, see
Something go ahead and say something
I ain't afraid of it
I don't drown, won't stay down
Heat finds a way to rise somehow
Scan the crowd as I'm coming out and I
Don't see too many rivals now

Dessa - 5 out of 6

Listen to 5 out of 6 on TIDAL

Guten Morgen Ihr Lieben.
Heute fahre ich mit der workawayerin nach Dessau und zeige ihr Bauhaus und Meisterhäuser.
Und der kleine Kater Fips hat sich heute zum ersten Mal zum Fressen rausgetraut. Bisher musste ich ihm das Futter immer hinterhertragen. BigBoy Leo musste ich natürlich daran hintern, dem Kleinen alles wegzufressen. Seitdem meckert der Große mich ununterbrochen an.
Ich wünsche Euch allen einen schönen Sonnabend ohne Futterneid

Dessa at the MN orchestra was amazing! Loved the show!

Dessa has a new song Camelot out today.
A banger as usual, this time with some righteously pointed lyrics (see rest of thread).

Lyrics:
Cheap gas, broadband
wheat grass, news cleanse, OnlyFans—
bourgeois see as bourgeois do
that's bourgeois me and bourgeois you.
That technocrat has a funny salute
might not meet the burden of proof
but too rich to refuse
so cue Fahrenheit 452.
All health and wellness

I know the culture here is to stay humble but shit

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dSPVHXgilAA

I didn't come looking for love
I didn't come to pick a fight
I didn't come to wave or take pictures
Pander to some benefactor, ring on every broken finger
Won't extend my wings to be clipped
I know the culture here is to stay humble but shit
If we all go round bowed heads, button-lipped
If none of us go for the bell then who is
My mother says I've loved too many men
But I took and left something in every single bed
The rook can look left, right, just turns his head
But the knight might rise up, investigate the grid

Dessa, Bury the Lede, 2023 on Doomtree Records

Dessa is a part of the hip-hop collective Doomtree out of MInneapolis – great collection of artists and she is (for me) one of the standouts. She was also cohost of the Deeply Human podcast in 2021-2022.

My copy is a signed red-vinyl “Collector’s Edition” via Waterloo Records in Austin TX. Unfortunately my copy did not include the Custom Dopp Kit or the poster.

Can a better understanding of human nature help us be more generous with other people’s weird behavior and even our own?Deeply Human is a BBC World Service and American Public Media coproduction with iHeartMedia.
