about

Shepard Fairey's famous graffiti piece is already a statement of revolutionary protest and feminist anthem. The idea of art as a revolutionary act, the tie between graffiti and social disobedience...I hope my words do it justice.

lyrics

I let my headscarf slip down a little
Like I did when I was a girl
Momma said you better act like a lady
And you best not be walking alone

I'm not alone with my can of paint
And the fire burning inside
Let them come, let them call me a criminal

You can't take the freedom inside
Oh you won't take the fire from my eyes
I'm coming for you
