I Shout it Out Loud

At a community open mic called The Bridge, we were challenged to write s song about learning. Have no idea where the idea to take on the Millennial age group as the protagonist came from and I researched what is going on in that world. Here is what I came up with.

VS

Don’t block the driveway

Don’t you park here

Nowhere to go now

There’s a hydrant over there

(It’s a dogs life) 

VS 

Where is that streetcar

It’s so late again, 

Look out, that car’s too close

Puddle is splashing

(Dripping wet) 

CH

I shout it out loud 

My face is red 

I shout it out loud 

Frustration I guess 

Or am I dismissed  

I shout it out loud 

What can I change 

What is the lesson here 

What’s the message I’m missing 

I shout it out loud 

I shout it out loud 

I shout it out loud 

VS 

Face Book is happy

They don’t have a care

I’m the one that’s shackled

To the merry-go-round here

(Ya nauseous) 

VS 

I’ll put on the brakes

Talk good to my brain

Snow my own gatekeepers

Move on out with 808

(Make some noise) 

CH

I shout it out loud 

My face is red 

I shout it out loud 

Frustration I guess 

Or am I dismissed  

I shout it out loud 

What can I change 

What is the lesson here 

What’s the message I’m missing 

I shout it out loud 

I shout it out loud 

I shout it out loud 

BR

Don’t want any handout  

Want space to grow 

Be brave you guardians

Unlock the zoo

Big game guardians

Unlock the zoo

What are you afraid of?

OUT

I’ve been locked out      

Give me a chance         

What is the lesson here 

What’s the message I missed                        

I shout it out loud          

I shout it out loud                    

There's a secret deal 

I’m breaking the code 

I own what I know         

I own what I do   

I shout it out loud          

I shout it out loud          

I shout it out loud         

I shout it out loud
