1.	(Don't Touch My) Hair [JD Samson Remix] 05:33	lyrics	buy track
This is not an education I can’t be your dissertation Not an experiment, this ain’t a science fair So don’t even think about touching my hair Don’t touch my hair Don’t you even dare Don’t think about putting your hand right there I see you there, I know you're eyeing me Staring like I'm some great mystery You say you’re curious, well I say child please I’m not your Hottentot, I don’t need your scrutiny "Oh my God, is that a weave?" "So, like, when you perm your hair it gets straight, not curly?" "So, do you think that I could get my hair like that?" "I wonder what it feels like, it looks so thick and kinky!" "I mean...isn't everyone's hair natural?" "So, does it feel like a cotton ball?" "Is that what they call a lace front?" "So wait, do you think that maybe I could touch it?"
2.	Requiem for a Mountaintop 04:17	lyrics	buy track
Right about now we want you to dance Because in the Haus of Sauvage we always dance We dance when we wanna celebrate We dance when we need to mourn And right now we wanna dance to honor the lives of those who are no longer with us So we dance for John Crawford We dance for Ezell Ford We dance for Tamir Rice We dance for Aiyana Stanley Jones We dance for Jordan Davis We dance for Eric Garner We dance for Trayvon Martin We dance for Oscar, for Timothy, for Eleanor, for Kathryn, for Amadou, for Sean We dance for Mike Brown We dance for every black and brown and queer and trans body that’s been told our lives don’t matter because we know they do HANDS UP DON’T SHOOT NO MORE STRANGE FRUIT x4 C’mon y'all keep dancing Dance for everybody who’s not here Dance because we are still here We dance not just to grieve but we dance to rejoice We are dancing for solidarity We are dancing for our survival From Ferguson to DC, from Oakland to NYC We're gonna keep on dancing so that we can breathe NO JUSTICE NO PEACE FUCK THE POLICE x4 C’mon y'all Keep dancing We need you to keep on moving Don’t stop We can’t stop We can’t breathe Keep dancing Keep fighting We need an uprising HANDS UP DON’T SHOOT NO MORE STRANGE FRUIT NO JUSTICE NO PEACE FUCK THE POLICE x2

about

Coup Sauvage & the Snips Washington, D.C.

Coup Sauvage & the Snips aren't trying to make you dance (honestly they didn't even see you there), but you won't be able to help it. Inspired by 60’s Motown, 70’s European variety shows, 80’s Solid Gold dancers, and 90’s warehouse parties, CS & TS recall an era when artists gave you a true performance. A soundtrack for the children to watch the first-world burn. Ready? Doesn't matter. ... more
