Political expression isn't new to Lizzo; she's been outspoken about police brutality and defunding the police, and she campaigned and voted for Joe Biden. "But the fact is," she says, "I don't know what they're doing. I see they're listening, but we're in a post–thoughts and prayers society. Thoughts and prayers just don't fucking cut it anymore."
