Candi Staton - I Wonna Holla

I recorded this song "I Wanna Holla" years ago but its searing message is sadly and unfortunately still relevant in the aftermath of the May 5, 2020 murder of George Floyd by law enforcement officers in Minnesota. I'm so proud to be among the men, women and children of all races, marching together to end systemic racism, police brutality and to reform the criminal justice system.. When I saw George Floyd literally being lynched by a police officer with the world watching, my soul and my spirit wept. It brought back so many unpleasant memories from my own childhood. Then, I remembered a song I wrote many years ago, not realizing that is was being written for the reality that we are living in right now. Not even knowing why I wrote it. Sometimes it's hard to describe pain, tears and emotions. It makes you feel like your loosing it, but this song says it all... "It Makes Me Wonna Holla!" Now I really, really do want to holla! This song represents the language of the unheard. I will be donating to organizations like black lives matter and others who are fighting to further the cause to stop police brutality, and those helping to rebuild small businesses that were looted while protesters were marching against this injustice.
