ABC’s hit show Black-ish will be airing their animated election special tonight which is set to feature appearances from Desus & Mero and direction from Matthew A. Cherry, who was awarded the Academy Award for Best Animated Short for his 2019 film Hair Love.
ABC is pulling out all the stops for the one-hour special, even enlisting Jhene Aiko to write a song specifically for the episode.
Over low key downtempo production courtesy of Mity Maose, Aiko employs her beautiful voice to encourage viewers to vote in the upcoming November election.

[Intro]
(Mity did the beat, you know I’m ’bout to go up)
[Chorus]
Yeah, I just wanna focus on my vote
I ain’t got no time, I gotta work (Gotta work)
Yeah, rent is comin’ up, I need this cash (Cash)
Plus I got a couple terminations in my past, yeah
Gotta ask my bosses for a day off
But if I do, I know might get laid off
I just wanna focus on my vote
I just wanna focus on my vote, yeah
[Verse]
‘Cause now I’m old enough
But I ain’t know so many things were gonna hold me up
Wanted to rock the vote, when I was growin’ up
Now they hit the rerock, try to slow me up
I just wanna get to the ballot (Yeah)
I just wanna feel like I’m valid (Yeah)
Put in my vote, I can have it (Yeah)
But that shouldn’t feel like magic (Yeah)
It’s the best to make my voice heard and that should be automatic
That’s my American right (Right)
I’m flexin’ my right if I got it
I got it, I got it
[Chorus]
Yeah, I just wanna focus on my vote (On my vote)
I ain’t got no time, I gotta work (Gotta work)
Yeah, rent is comin’ up, I need this cash (Need this cash)
Plus I got a couple terminations in my past, yeah (Ooh, yeah)
Gotta ask my bosses for a day off (For a day off)
But if I do, I know might get laid off (Ooh, ooh, woah)
I just wanna focus on my vote (On my vote)
I just wanna focus on my vote (On my vote, uh, on my)
I just wanna focus on my vote (On my vote, yeah, yeah, I just gotta)
I just wanna focus on my vote
