Sometimes I feel like I'm a sculpture standing strong, but far from you
You look at me, admire everything, but steal all that I do
You take my soul, my culture, then you wrap it in economy
You leave me on the side to die, but dance upon my harmony, yeah

Twisted in love, twisted in me, twisted in you
Twisted in this, twisted in them, twisted, it's true
Twisted in time, twisted in mind, twisted in you
Twisted in culture
Twisted in culture
Twisted in culture

Twisted in
Twisted in
Twisted in culture
Twisted in culture
Time, time, time
Twisted in
Time, time, time, time

I feel so violated by the history I have never known (twisted)
I'm tryin' hard to find a reason to believe the things
I've been told (twisted)
But when I opened up to most of it
I find myself inside of you (twisted)
And go beyond the expectations of oppression
And the deepest truth (twisted)

Twisted in love, twisted in me, twisted in you (twisted)
Twisted in this, twisted in them, twisted, it's true
Twisted in time, twisted in mind, twisted in you (twisted)
Twisted in culture
Twisted in culture
Twisted in culture

Twisted in love, twisted in me, twisted in you (twisted)
Twisted in this, twisted in them, twisted, it's true
Twisted in time, twisted in mind, twisted in you (twisted)
Twisted in culture
Twisted in culture
Twisted in culture

You like to take our culture and make a profit from our souls
You wrapped it up in Dollars and Pounds and claim it as your own
We know about that Elvis, he copied us appropriately
They make their money but they don't invest in our community
You like to take our culture and make a profit from our souls
You wrapped it up in Dollars and Pounds and claim it as your own
We know about that Elvis, he copied us appropriately
They make their money but they don't invest in our community

Poverty, low income
Labeling culture, education
High birth, death rate, working class minds
Bias and broken, limiting lines
Adultification, system is sick
Mental health phantom, they gaslight it
Praying to God, a white Jesus
Turn on the heat, twisted culture feeds us

Twisted in love, twisted in me, twisted in you (twisted)
Twisted in this, twisted in them, twisted, it's true
Twisted in time, twisted in mind, twisted in you (twisted)
Twisted in culture
Twisted in culture
Twisted in culture

Twisted in love, twisted in me, twisted in you (twisted)
Twisted in this, twisted in them, twisted, it's true (twisted)
Twisted in time, twisted in mind, twisted in you (twisted)
Twisted in culture
Twisted in culture
Twisted in culture

Everybody here, take in the light with me
Everybody here, stand firm and fight with me
Everybody here, it's time to naturally
Take a stand for life
Everybody here, take in the light with me
Everybody here, stand firm and fight with me
Everybody here, it's time to naturally
Take a stand for life

It's residual
A funny kind of tentacle
For you to think it put me in a box, formidable
It's forgettable, hysteria, typical
For you to try and tell what to make, it's laughable
I know I change it up, I'm chasing something credible
I like to challenge it, never one for the sensible
It's kind of funny 'cause I like it confrontational
A little conflict or some mystery, unforgettable

Everybody here, take in the light with me
Everybody here, stand firm and fight with me
Everybody here, it's time to naturally
Take a stand for life
Everybody here, take in the light with me
