From the forthcoming album The Power In Us, the latest of several passionate, soulful pop songs about society and politics by the London singer-songwriter, focuses on the damaging system of male control that screws up relationships and pro-choice. It particular it points to legislation outlawing pro-choice being pushed through in places such as the anti-abortion law in Alabama. The track builds powerfully with fusion of soul, pop, rock and jazz.

Sister stand up for what you believe
I hear anarchy in the way you speak
Teach her not to give up, only how to seek
Ain't no anarchy in the way they cheat
Sister stand up for what you believe
Fight the power or die at their feet
I know they don't see what you see
But don't fight the people for being sheep
He plays God
He plays God
God are the men who make you pay
God are the men who force your way
Play God is the image that he made
To make you obey
God are the men who make you pay
God are the men who force your way
Play God is the image that he made
He plays God
Brother stand up, admit to what you do
This complex ain't helping me or you
Changing the world starts with you
Don't tell me you don't know what you do
Brother listen up, she's tryna tell you
This systems failed us both, it's true
Time to wise up, you know it's overdue
Stuck in limbo can't follow through
This bill is not about pro-life or the right to life
This bill is about control
So why you all want to control our bodies?
You know, you all are always trying to put the laws on us
We are not a leaderless movement
And by now we should have learned we not replicate the past
He plays God
He plays God
God are the men who make you pay
God are the men who force your way
Play God is the image that he made
To make you obey
God are the men who make you pay
God are the men who force your way
Play God is the image that he made
To make you obey
He plays God
To make you obey
He plays God
He plays God
