about

In response to her soul serenade, ‘A Better Woman’ ranked by Spotify as one of the “Best Soul Songs Of 2023”, Ms. Williams is releasing “Organize”, a funk/soul anthem reminiscent of the musical contributions made by James Brown and Gil Scott-Heron in the late 1960s - early 1970s. Cole intentionally bridges the gap between music and action by utilizing her platform to shed a direct spotlight on her work with The Houseless and her founder organization The Greater New Orleans Citizens Relief Team.


Renowned for her commitment to social justice with The Houseless and inspired by the practice of Civil Rights Activist Ella Baker, Cole channels her experiences into her powerful new single, "Organize.", a #SocialJustice anthem also in support of her podcast, House The Houseless: Music And Action (Ropeadope Records).

lyrics

We gotta organize
Organize food
Organize shelter
Clothing
Transportation
Healthcare
Childcare
Electricity
Self governance

Organize education
Best practices and strategies
For the children
Organize sewing circles
Sew for our people and not ourselves
Organize shelter
For all those without shelter
Take charge
Organize medical teams
And medical care for all
Organize

We gotta organize
Organize
My people organize
Take charge and organize

We can’t build a revolution or a movement
Without figuring how to pick us up
We can’t build a revolution or a movement
Without figuring how to pick us up
From the bottom
We can’t build a revolution or a movement
Without figuring how to pick us up
Woh
We can’t build a revolution or a movement
Without figuring how to pick us up
From the bottom

We gotta organize
Organize
My people organize
Take charge and organize

My people organize
Organize
My people organize
Everybody organize
My people organize
Everybody organize
My people organize
