Iris Gold is out with an empowerment anthem called “Girl Pick Up Your Drum.” Complete with a horn section, country-esque instrumentation, and a hip hop beat, “Girl Pick Up Your Drum” is solid gold. The song craftily combines several musical genres that normally wouldn’t mix to create a new genre called “hippie hop.” There’s a little something for everyone on this track. A well shot music video, provides strength for the listener, and lifts up the spirits of those who let the lyrics sink in deep. Iris Gold completes the track with an incredibly catchy hook melody. Enjoy the music video from Bay Street Records now:

► Lyrics:
Hey policeman leave me alone
I didn’t hurt nobody didn’t throw no stones
I’m out here protesting on my own
As I walk down to planet cool
As I walk down to planet cool
Everybody now
Hey don’t chu know
It’s the place we coming from
Hey can’t you hear
Girl pick up your drum
No religious preaching in my world
Vilva Flame’s a filthy little spiritual girl
I follow love and all it’s signs
As they lead me to planet cool
They lead me to planet cool
Hey don’t chu know
It’s the place we coming from
Hey can’t you hear
Girl pick up your drum
Sippin’ on drippin’ on tears
I got some worries ‘n I got some fears
Thinking that you got them too
Stand beside us more power in two
Fikana fikana fuck
Keep your mouth shut
Vilva Flame I’m serious girl
As I walk down to planet cool
Hey don’t chu know
It’s the place we coming from
Hey can’t you hear
Girl pick up your drum
Hey don’t chu know
It’s the place we coming from
Hey can’t you hear
Girl pick up your drum
