This song, created in collaboration with Event Rap, aims to rally Support for Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign as it encapsulates the spirit and vision that her candidacy represents. All streaming proceeds will be donated to the Harris Victory Fund,

“Lotus for POTUS” is more than just a catchy hip-hop anthem; it’s a powerful translation of Kamala Harris’ vision into a vibrant musical format that resonates with voters across America. By transforming her Democratic National Convention speech into a rap, this track is designed not only to entertain but also to mobilize Support and raise funds for her 2024 presidential campaign.

Featuring a dynamic lineup of artists, including Jam Young, Lex Rush, Dex McBean, and Baba Brinkman, “Lotus for POTUS” encapsulates the essence of Harris’ message, blending compelling lyrics with a pulse-pounding rhythm. The anthem’s soundscape is enriched by the enchanting sitar riffs of Neel Murgai and the electrifying energy of hypeman Erik B for President, creating a unique fusion of hip-hop and cultural influences.

The song’s lyrics serve as a rallying cry for unity and activism, encapsulating Harris’s goals and ideals. The opening lines from Jam Young, *“Loud and proud, Kamala, laughing to the White House,”* directly address the mockery she has faced, empowering her to embrace joy and resilience in the face of adversity. This line highlights how Harris’s laughter has been criticized by opponents, yet it symbolizes strength in a world where women’s emotions are often dismissed.

Jam Young continues with, *“Sustainable living, farm to table for children, leaf by leaf, tree by tree, changing the planet for millions,”* which speaks to Harris’ commitment to sustainability and Climate change—a central tenet of her platform. This dedication to food policy reflects her belief in creating a healthier environment for future generations and emphasizes the importance of nourishing both people and the planet.

The anthem also cleverly integrates references to her campaign team with lines like, *“We are one, gotta stop all this ‘gimme mine’ / Lotus for POTUS ‘til we Walz-ing to the finish line,”* nodding to her VP pick, Governor Tim Walz, while emphasizing the need for collective action. This clever phrasing reinforces the idea that unity is essential to achieving their shared goals, reflecting Harris’ vision of an inclusive and collaborative leadership style.

In a heartfelt acknowledgment of President Biden, Jam Young raps, *“Thank you, Joe, letting her shine like a star / Don’t let ‘em tell you who you is, just show them who you are.”* This line not only pays tribute to Biden’s pivotal role in handing over the future of the country to Harris but also echoes a message her mother instilled in her—encouraging authenticity and self-expression. This sentiment is a crucial part of her campaign messaging, emphasizing the importance of self-identity and resilience in the face of adversity.

Baba Brinkman adds his voice to the anthem with lines that serve both as a playful tutorial and a powerful reminder to get Harris’ name right: *“Kamala means ‘lotus’ in Sanskrit, not CAAM-a-la / It doesn’t rhyme with ‘Canada,’ her cabinet gon’ be Camelot / No koala, don’t say Cam-AH-la, that has to stop / It’s ‘Kamala,’ ‘cause karma come back to you hard.”* His clever wordplay emphasizes the importance of understanding and respecting Harris’ identity while reinforcing her credentials as a leader. He continues with a call to action, urging listeners to consider the bigger picture: *“Harris Walz is… the ticket, swallow it whole, peristalsis / Consider the total options and vote your conscience / Fired up, molten lava, Kamala, you know she’s got this / Hold your daughters high and send her straight to the Oval Office.”*

Lex Rush takes the baton with, *“Kamala for the people, call for treatment that is equal. We sharing this planet, it’s our country, all of us belong.”* Here, we see a profound commitment to inclusivity and equality, reinforcing the idea that everyone has a place in the American narrative, regardless of their background or identity. This aligns with Harris’ long-standing slogan, “Kamala for the people,” which highlights her focus on serving all citizens and ensuring that everyone’s voice is heard.

In a powerful declaration, Lex continues, *“Clean energy for companies, fresh food more accessibly, healthcare for you and me, but stay out of our ovaries.”* This highlights Harris’ advocacy for Environmental justice and healthcare access, asserting that women’s rights are non-negotiable and must be protected. It draws attention to the intersection of health care, environmental policy, and women’s reproductive rights—issues that are critical to her platform.

As the anthem progresses, the urgency of the campaign becomes clear with lines like, *“National right to reproductive freedom, not going back, we’re just about to begin.”* This encapsulates Harris’ vision for progress, emphasizing that the past is behind us and that the fight for reproductive rights is a critical part of her agenda. The phrase “not going back” reinforces her commitment to moving forward and rejecting regressive policies, framing her candidacy as a beacon of hope for a more equitable future.

The rallying cry, *“When we fight, we win,”* perfectly captures the spirit of Harris’ campaign, underscoring that collective action is essential for victory. This message resonates deeply with her supporters, who understand that change comes through perseverance and unity. It speaks to the empowerment of grassroots movements and the importance of standing together for justice.

Dex McBean steps in with a call to action: *“Don’t complain about injustice, let’s do something about it.”* This echoes Harris’ message that change begins with each individual taking responsibility for their community, a lesson that she learned from her mother. This line inspires listeners to take initiative and highlights the importance of activism in creating meaningful change.

He adds, *“Ms. Harris is best equipped to bring black joy back to politics, so we can live free, with love, pride, and safe from violence.”* This line underscores her commitment to elevating marginalized voices and dismantling systemic racism, reinforcing her message of equality for all people, regardless of their background. It emphasizes the significance of representation and the need for leaders who genuinely understand and advocate for the rights of all communities.

In closing, the anthem resonates with the powerful affirmation, *“I know Harris can handle it.”* This line encapsulates the confidence and readiness that Harris embodies as she steps into her role as a leader for all Americans, signifying her qualifications and determination to lead the nation into a brighter future.

Adding to the anthem’s cultural richness, Preeta Sinha, founder of One Green Planet recites in Hindi a heartfelt ode to Kamala’s Indian heritage, expressing the essence of her leadership. Preeta’s verses echo the themes of hope and inspiration:
