Good Trouble
Embracing Liberation: Unveiling the Meaning Behind 'Good Trouble'
Lyrics
My skin is alabaster
Describing the speaker's pale skin tone
And I understand what that means
Acknowledging understanding of the implications of the skin color
There's history in my color
Highlighting the historical context associated with the speaker's skin color
And a burden in me and this free
Expressing a sense of burden related to the speaker's freedom
And the burden is the wall between you and me
Describing a barrier between the speaker and others
But there's a love that's still turning over tables
Pointing to a transformative love that challenges norms
And a love making blinded eyes see
Emphasizing the power of love to bring clarity
There's a healing that's waiting in the water
Referencing a healing potential in water
That's still making saints out of rebels
Noting the positive impact of water on rebels turning into saints
My God is still making good trouble
Affirming that the speaker's God creates positive disruptions
I've grown tired of being so careful
Expressing weariness of being cautious in expressing oneself
About speaking my truth with soft words
Acknowledging the challenge of speaking truth softly
Out on the streets I'm fearful
Feeling fear while navigating the streets despite knowing self-worth
Even though inside I know my worth
But I'll never give up even when it hurts
Highlighting the transformative power of love in overturning norms
Because love is still turning over tables
Reiterating the impact of love on perception
And love still makes the blinded eyes see
Emphasizing the role of love in bringing clarity to blinded eyes
And there's a healing that's waiting in the water
Referring to healing potential in water
That's still making saints out of rebels
Stating the transformative effect of water on rebels turning into saints
My God is still making good trouble
Affirming the continuous creation of positive disruptions by the speaker's God
Good trouble
Good trouble
-My God is still making good trouble
Reiteration of the idea that the speaker's God disrupts in a positive way
Good trouble
Good trouble
-My God is still making good trouble
-Even though we are all broken
Asserting the commonality of brokenness in individuals
There is a dream still worth holding
Highlighting the enduring value of a shared dream
Let's walk towards the fire
Encouraging facing challenges and moving towards positive change
And push past the fear
Advocating for overcoming fear in pursuit of positive transformation
And call hate a liar
Denouncing hate and urging for clarity
Loud and clear
Clear rejection of hate with emphasis
There's a love that's still turning over tables
Reiterating the transformative power of love
And the love making blinded eyes see
Reemphasizing the impact of love on perception
There's a healing that's waiting in the waters
Repeating the idea of healing potential in water
That's still making saints out of rebels
Stating the transformative effect of water on rebels turning into saints
My God is still making good trouble
Affirming the continuous creation of positive disruptions by the speaker's God
Good trouble
Good trouble
-My God is still making good trouble
-Good trouble
-Good trouble
-My God is still making good trouble
