welcome to heartbreak’s first ever anthem award. today i’d like to intro you in to ‘all i got’ by the beautiful songstress ms amel larrieux and ‘nicotine’ by ani difranco. after reading the lyrics, it will all make sense.
all i got> amel
from the album “bravebird”got these feet
in these shoes
they walked a mile or two,
got these legs
they’ve done work
that’s left them black and blue,
got these hips
they are wide
but they know how to move,
got these hands
to lift the weak
or slap down a racist fool
got this place
i call my home
but it’s no taj mahal,
got these pockets
they ain’t full grown
but i won’t steal from no one,
got this heart
well it’s been broke
but it’s still beating strong,
got this song
it ain’t much
but it helps me carry on
got a will
that lifts me up
when my body can’t
got a way
of getting through
with no helping hands
got a mind
that lends me strength
so i ain’t afraid to stand
got a love
so deep in me
can’t be stopped by any man

nicotine> ani difranco
from the album “reprieve”
i hate you sometimes
but i love to be your queen
you are my muse
got me smokin nicotine
i watch you sometimes
from oh so far away
but i can’t forget you
or anything you say
you sang that song in my ear
and it tickled those tiny hairs
love is a puzzle
some pieces they adjoin
it’s not like that with us
but i keep flipping that coin
i watch you sometimes
from oh so far away
but i can’t forget you
or anything you say
you sang that song in my ear
and it tickled those tiny hairs
