lyrics

Feeling lost in the darkness
In and out of love and it feel like I’m fallin
I been trippin
Keeping my distance
Tryin hard not to break down
So much on my plate don’t know how much i can take now
Everyone forgetting about me
Don’t know who to trust with all these vultures around me
But i
Stand on my two
Even when theres no one to talk to
Imma keep on pushing w/o you
To get free

Verse 1:
Black woman
First mother
Birth mother
We all know it
But some ignore it
And take cover
Behind a mask of hatred they got for black woman
I gotta say it bc i came from a black woman
A black woman i love pushed out my son
At that moment saw divine intervention come from above
But then i think about breonna Taylor
No one could save her
Crooked cops robbed her of motherhood and doing good
When HER career was bout saving lives
Irony evil and wicked the way it severe ties
Keep y’all some mace or a strap when y’all gotta go outside
I Know some pervert ass niggas left them with silent cries
Not advertised But still you rise
Rapped for rapsody on her tour
She said my pen was sharp and told me i gotta stay the course
She said i had a gift as she looked in my eyes
Inspiration from a black woman is all that we need sometimes
I swear to god

Chorus

Verse 2:
Nigga, don’t try to say you inspired by us
Always leaning on our shoulder just to leave us in the dust
Don’t call me strong that ain’t no compliment
Being strong is why we’re disregarded and we’re suffering
But Don’t get it twisted i know how powerful i can be
I know my grandmothers is watching and they so proud of me
A force to be afraid of society bring it outta me
Angry black woman cuz nigga i got the right to be
But i ain’t really angry I’m tired
Tired of negotiating wages when I’m tryna get hired 
Tired of feeling all this pain with no place to go higher
I just need my voice amplified
Gimme a bullhorn and worldwide intercom
I’ll let the whole entire world know bout my power
Want us to be y’all therapist but tell me who gon be ours?
We go missing for hours, days, weeks and months at a time
No one can find
I been feeling confined
Now I , just wanna be free

Chorus
