Barbarian
If they're civilized
I'd rather stay savage
We them barbarians
Beautiful and scaring them
Earth shaking rattling
Be wild out loud again
We them barbarians
Jasmine and Frankincense
Feminine invading them
Beautiful Barbarians
Say it again
Beautiful barbarian
Say it again
Beautiful barbarian, a beast before, now
They wanna be wearing my skin
We don't let them win
We beautiful barbarians
Lemme think back
I remember days on these big lips,
Oh, they used to hate
Now the script flipped
Oh, hey! They gotta lip kit (Kylie J One hunnit)
Real talk, that's what I'm on
If I'm a savage
Then you're a fraud
My chains off won't be long
See me glowing
Look at God
So fresh and so eloquent, uh
I keep it humble and elegant, ah
Your beauty standard irrelevant
A revolution is so imminent
We keep it joyful and bedouin
I see my momma as evidence
Ah, nobody needs your benevolence
Wah! Feminist planet is imminent, ahh
We them barbarians
Beautiful and scaring them
Earth shaking rattling
Be wild out loud again
We them barbarians
Jasmine and Frankincense
Feminine invading them
Beautiful Barbarians
Barbarian? That's how you really feel?
Like you didn't start war over oil fields?
Opium, poppy seed
Money moves, Cardi B
Tried to make me hate me for my hips and nose
Now they got imposters, on a spread in Vogue
Not a single feature
That they let us own
Oh, they packing fillers Styrofoam
Ultralight beam
Metaphysical, huh, power no longer invisible, huh
Your beauty standard is cynical, oh
A revolution is so critical
Power so deep and so mystical
They say the personal is so political
Oh women, our future is winnable
We gotta be indivisible
We them barbarians
Beautiful and scaring them
Earth shaking rattling
Be wild out loud again
We them barbarians
Jasmine and Frankincense
Feminine invading them
Beautiful Barbarians
Say it again
Beautiful barbarian
Say it again
Beautiful barbarian
A beast before
Now, they wanna be wearing my skin
We don't let them win
We beautiful barbarians
This nose
Decolonize
This hair
Decolonize
This skin
Decolonize
This body
Decolonize
This mind
Decolonized
I'd rather stay savage
We them barbarians
Beautiful and scaring them
Earth shaking rattling
Be wild out loud again
We them barbarians
