Greetings! I wrote a new song. It’s called “Don’t Target Target.” I’ll be recording it in the coming days. You get the first read of the lyrics! Look forward to your thoughts on it!
So…let me try to get this straight
You can’t be LGBT…you gotta be “straight”
You gotta flow hetero comin’ out the gate
You better know how to roll if you in the wrong state
Or else you’re a Target, just look at Target
Latest victim of vitriol floodin’ the market
Now the company’s getting feathered and tarred, it’s
Incredibly ignorant the way they sparked it
To be clear, Target’s been pro-queer for years
Pro-queer, anti-fear, before the hate appeared
Before the tipping over clothes and violent videos
Before MAGA rappers that thought they could flow
Before Candace O-wens will we learn?
To love more than we hate and to yearn to learn?
We need much more love in this democracy
But in the next verse I call out your hypocrisy
Gotta target love, not target hate
Finding common ground’s what makes America great
Need courageous conversations and the violence negated
So all can be celebrated not tolerated
Gotta target love, not target hate
Finding common ground’s what makes America great
Need courageous conversations and the violence negated
So all can be celebrated not tolerated
At this stage let’s talk selective outrage
Cause we been sexualizing little girls for decades
Look at these beauty pageants, RIP JonBenét
Social media promotin’ the perfect bod-ay
She got the slightest little gut and she gets fat-shamed
She don’t act “cute” for the boys, SHE’s the one gets blamed
Cartoon Ariel in a bra, can’t forget Betty Boop
Cause so many thought she was fly and cute
Tight dress, extra lean when we watched on the screen
Without a care for the fact she was only 16
Bet you ain’t know her age, this really ain’t funny
Add Jessica Rabbit, add Lola Bunny
A rainbow colored bathing suit ain’t hurtin’ nobody
Can we talk without violence about what’s in their lobby?
And the suit with the tuck was in the adult section
With so much disinformation that’s important to mention
Gotta target love, not target hate
Finding common ground’s what makes America great
Need courageous conversations and the violence negated
So all can be celebrated not tolerated
Gotta target love, not target hate
Finding common ground’s what makes America great
Need courageous conversations and the violence negated
So all can be celebrated not tolerated!
When you get passed the lies and the propagaHnda
You may see that America’s becoming Rwanda
Neighbors hunting neighbors just for being themselves
Don’t focus on the clothes take your hate off the shelves!
I know targeting diversity is all the rage
But to me WOKE means Wide Open, Keep Engaged
Now you see they’re angry at Chick-Fil-A son
But the bro had the DEI job since ‘21
Y’all wanna be quick to pick a store to boycott
But take great PRIDE in shopping at Walmart
You catch the double entendre? You see how you do?
Guess you forgot Walmart got a PRIDE section too
This ain’t new, this outrage is just fake too
From those who think their freedom means less freedom for you
Diversity ain’t comin’ yo, it’s already here
And that must also include diversity of ideas!
Gotta target love, not target hate
Finding common ground’s what makes America great
Need courageous conversations and the violence negated
So all can be celebrated not tolerated
Gotta target love, not target hate
Finding common ground’s what makes America great
Need courageous conversations and the violence negated
So all can be celebrated not tolerated!
