Song 33
Oh, I have ambitions, dreams
But dreams don't come cheap
I saw a demon on my shoulder, it's lookin' like patriarchy
Like scrubbin' blood off the ceiling and bleachin' another carpet
How my house get haunted?
Why Toyin body don't embody all the life she wanted?
A baby, just 19
I know I dream all black
I seen her everything, immortalizin' Tweets, all caps
They say they found her dead
One girl missin', another one go missin'
One girl missin', another
But niggas in the back, quiet as a church mouse
Basement studio when duty calls to get the verse out
I guess the ego hurt now
It's time to go to work, wow, look at him go
He really 'bout to write about me when the world is in smokes?
When it's people in trees?
When George was beggin' for his mother, saying he couldn't breathe
You thought to write about me?
One girl missin', another one go missin'
One girl missin', another one
Yo, but little did I know, all my readin' would be a bother
It's trans women bein' murdered, and this is all he can offer?
And this is all y'all receive?
Distracting from the convo with organizers
They talkin' abolishin' the police
And this the new world order
We democratizin' Amazon, we burn down borders
This a new vanguard, this a new vanguard
I'm the new vanguard
But dreams don't come cheap
I saw a demon on my shoulder, it's lookin' like patriarchy
Like scrubbin' blood off the ceiling and bleachin' another carpet
How my house get haunted?
Why Toyin body don't embody all the life she wanted?
A baby, just 19
I know I dream all black
I seen her everything, immortalizin' Tweets, all caps
They say they found her dead
One girl missin', another one go missin'
One girl missin', another
But niggas in the back, quiet as a church mouse
Basement studio when duty calls to get the verse out
I guess the ego hurt now
It's time to go to work, wow, look at him go
He really 'bout to write about me when the world is in smokes?
When it's people in trees?
When George was beggin' for his mother, saying he couldn't breathe
You thought to write about me?
One girl missin', another one go missin'
One girl missin', another one
Yo, but little did I know, all my readin' would be a bother
It's trans women bein' murdered, and this is all he can offer?
And this is all y'all receive?
Distracting from the convo with organizers
They talkin' abolishin' the police
And this the new world order
We democratizin' Amazon, we burn down borders
This a new vanguard, this a new vanguard
I'm the new vanguard
