Waiting For Me
"I'm not every day tryna to turn up to the
Sound of my own oppression, you feel me?"
"We always assume our own powerlessness
But never our own power."
"Stigma is one of the most effective forms
Of oppression, because it denies us the vocabulary
To talk comfortably and confidently about our own bodies."
When I wake up in the morning
Hit space bar and start recording
My mom says that she'll adore me
The earth is still waiting for me
Waiting for me Waiting for me
I won't take in what they feed us
Run away in my Adidas
Brown girls of the world they need us
Truth is love and love will free us
Love will free us Love will free us
I've been livin in the wild now
When you taste freedom you're not tryna get tied down
Hear it in the words I say and the way I walk
I'm not part of their lies now
"I don't want our identity to be defined
According to how oppressed we are."
Dim our minds with drugs and liquor
Knowing that we'll die off quicker
All our people getting sicker
Can't afford organic stickers
Sorrow makes their wallets thicker
We must see the bigger picture
Woman who have come before us
Mothers, sisters, non-conformists
All the things that they've done for us
The earth is still waiting for us
Waiting for us Waiting for us
If we're strong they can't ignore us
The earth is still waiting for us!
If we're loud they can't ignore us
The earth is still waiting for us!
If we're one they can't ignore us
The earth is still waiting for us!
If we're true they can't ignore us
The earth is still waiting for us!
I've been livin in the wild now
When you taste freedom you're not tryna get tied down
See it in the way I think and the food I eat
I'm not part of their lies now
Sound of my own oppression, you feel me?"
"We always assume our own powerlessness
But never our own power."
"Stigma is one of the most effective forms
Of oppression, because it denies us the vocabulary
To talk comfortably and confidently about our own bodies."
When I wake up in the morning
Hit space bar and start recording
My mom says that she'll adore me
The earth is still waiting for me
Waiting for me Waiting for me
I won't take in what they feed us
Run away in my Adidas
Brown girls of the world they need us
Truth is love and love will free us
Love will free us Love will free us
I've been livin in the wild now
When you taste freedom you're not tryna get tied down
Hear it in the words I say and the way I walk
I'm not part of their lies now
"I don't want our identity to be defined
According to how oppressed we are."
Dim our minds with drugs and liquor
Knowing that we'll die off quicker
All our people getting sicker
Can't afford organic stickers
Sorrow makes their wallets thicker
We must see the bigger picture
Woman who have come before us
Mothers, sisters, non-conformists
All the things that they've done for us
The earth is still waiting for us
Waiting for us Waiting for us
If we're strong they can't ignore us
The earth is still waiting for us!
If we're loud they can't ignore us
The earth is still waiting for us!
If we're one they can't ignore us
The earth is still waiting for us!
If we're true they can't ignore us
The earth is still waiting for us!
I've been livin in the wild now
When you taste freedom you're not tryna get tied down
See it in the way I think and the food I eat
I'm not part of their lies now
