Symbol of My Love

Posed for you
Lied for you
Cried for you
We're always fuckin' die for you
Scorched my fuckin hair for you
Took care of you
We're always fuckin there for you
You make me think that you value my opinion
Then you use it assert your own dominion
You'd think being a black woman is easier because it's cool now
Mostly feels like goin' back to school now
Got two degrees
Stopped playin' with niggas that wasted they schools fees

Taking shots to the feet you should be kissin'
Paid the deposit for the home he live in
New religion
Putting a cap on the access till you show me some damn respect
Why I'm stressed?
Some of you niggas won't even pick up a check
I've seen you do it
I've seen you do it
For Courtenay and Lilly and Emma and Beth

When
I ripped my heart out as a symbol of my love
I ripped my heart out as a symbol of my love

You missed it
Those ain't our hips
Those ain't our lips
Not how our butts lift
I think I'd like to take a Black Break
A long ass blackout outta give the world a shake
Cut the music
Cut the sayings
No more spices
No more BAYANGS
I'll think I'll stop letting white girls watch me when I dance
Cuz if they're gonna use our shit we should charge a black tax

That sounds nice
I think I will
I just might

Give credit to black women where it's due
Request a refund from your doctors
Cuz we're the ones that made you

I ripped my heart out as a symbol of my love
I ripped my heart out as a symbol of my love

I ain't do it for the thrill of it
I'm tired of waking up to see the same shit
Truth be told I'm fuckin' losing it
Wake me up when it starts makin' some sense
I maxed out on all the fucks I gave
I hope this feeling's temporary cuz I'm losin' faith
Yal tried me in my dms and I set em straight
Cuz I'm a boss and a bitch
And I ain't playin' games

I'm tired of hearin' I'm pretty for a black girl
I'm tired of hearin' I'm pretty for a black girl
We ain't march for 'pretty for a black girl'
I can not come and die for THAT
They love everything about us but us
Everything about us but us
Fists up in the air for you
But deep down often a lil of scared you

I ripped my heart out as a symbol of my love
(Wake me when I am home again)
I ripped my heart out as a symbol of my love
(Wake me when I am whole again)

Wake me when I am free again
I ripped my heart out as a symbol of my love
