born in a garage🤘🏾and written while I was reading octavia butler’s 𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘳, “idea 1” is about what it feels like to exist in this climate — the weight of being expected to witness, absorb, and speak truth at a time when the world feels like it's unraveling. that's a particular kind of burden Black women know intimately. this song doesn't offer answers, it just refuses to look away.
produced by the brilliant @oscar_scheller

co-written with my talented bestie janiva ellis
