I Laugh Loud, Spoken Word by Jessica Holter

I Laugh Loud
(Lyrics)

I know how they
make me out to be
but mostly
I’m a get along
to get ahead
kind of woman

I laugh loud

I fall hard

I get up
and work with what I am given
and give in
to be given more
sometimes
when it is affordable
when endurance and perseverance
are the tender
I am the rarest of commodity

too bad for you
you are afraid of me

too bad you only hear
an angry black woman

I was just laughing
Loud
