Verse
Born to live a life of terror and pain
Fearing nobody will remember my name
Oh, it’s startin
Welts on my back I gotta get to church
Down on my knees
Rebuke the devil’s work
Oh, it’s bindin
Pre-chorus
I feel the pressure from every which way
Be enough for everyone
(Repeat)
Hook
I’m frightened
It’s tightenin
Like a rope around my neck
It’s tightenin
(Repeat)
Bridge
Walk like this, talk like that
Switch those hips, fuckin’ fag
Be a man, boys don’t cry
Spread those legs just like that
(Repeat)

Verse 1
In the month of June I was attacked
Three different times in a single week
I was so fuckin mad
That I didn’t really eat
And I could hardly sleep
Sunglasses on that would never come off
Pocketknife in hand
I could never be soft
In the month of June I was attacked
By three men who all looked like me
Chorus
No fags, no femmes, no fats, no trans
Actin like I wanna fuck but I know you wanna hit it
On god mothafucka on god
I’m on god mothafucka on god
No pride, no truth, no love, no lie
Wish that I could get to know you
But you’d rather see me die
On god mothafucka on god
I’m on god mothafucka on god
Hook
God, god, god
Don’t judge me
God, god, god
God loves me
Verse 2
Do you know that I pray for you?
Do you know that it makes me blue?
The violence - a product of environments
You were unloved
Do you know that I fight for you?
Do you know that God loves me too?
There’s righteousness in silence
Not backing down
I’m speaking out
Bridge
No fags, no femmes, no fats, no trans
Actin like I wanna fuck but I know you wanna hit it
On god mothafucka on god
I’m on god mothafucka on god
No pride, no truth, no love, no lie
Wish that I could get to know you
But you’d rather see me die
On god mothafucka on god
I’m on god mothafucka on god
Repeat Hook
Coda
Ego forti serve dei
Humanem sanguinem quam densior

Million Girls
04:15
|

Verse 1
I am not a pretty girl
Ignore the rocks in my shoes
Made from leather stolen from
Forced labor in Indonesia
Hook
I’m one in a million
For a dollar a day
I’ll tell no one
Verse 2
I am not a quiet girl
I scream at the crack of a whip
Forty acres and a mule
Still waiting for reparations
I am a defiant girl
Brand me with your initials
You’ll remember my name (name)
Even when I’m skittish and feral
Repeat Hook
A rare diamond is red like blood
Bridge
We are the criminals
So hypocritical
Playing god with every third-world civilian
Rapists and murderers
Pillagers voyagers
Corporate exploiters for massive consumption
The stones on our necks
And the ones on our screens
Are the ones that we need
To go live on TV
To present to the world that we’re glamorous
Amorous
A million girls would kill for the job that
A million girls have died for
To die for to die for
Oh, it’s to die for
It’s to die for
To die for
To die for
Repeat Hook
Outro
I’m one in a million
A rare diamond is red like blood
It’s our secret
I’ll tell no one

I learn my name
I write with a number two pencil
I work up to my potential
I earn my name
I come when called
I jump when you circle the cherry
I sing like a good canary
I come when called
I come, that’s all
Send it up on fire deaf before dumb
Send it up on fire deaf before dumb
I clean the house
I put all your books in an order
I make up a colorful border
I clean my mouth
‘Cause froth comes out
Send it up on fire deaf before dumb
Send it up on fire deaf before dumb

Verse 1
I get angrier each time I find myself tryna please you
Doesn’t matter how I say that I don’t wanna appease you
We hold the space for your feelings and your journey
But when it comes your turn you don’t give a fuck about me
Verse 1 (continued)
The way that you demand that I always hold your hand
That I care about your plans
That your wishes are commands
Like you’re god on a cross
And I worship at your feet
But
Hook
Jesus fucking Christ I don’t owe you fucking anything

Wanna ruin how I live my best black life

The Hatred
03:30

Verse 1
Is it a crime
To want our fellow man to be accountable?
To document the lies
Coming from their mouths?
To record the conversations
Meant to dismantle?
Pre-chorus
The order of destruction is the world
The order of corruption is the creed
Cynicism kills all hope for peace
And I resign
Chorus
Should I
Give into the hatred of the world?
The hatred of
The hatred of the world
Align myself with devils that I know
The hatred of
The hatred of the world
Mmm
Verse 2
How many people do you think
Have died since 16Whatever?
How many people do you think
Have perished since the dawn of time?
How many women (and girls)?
How many children (round the world)?
How many Black kids
Walking with their hoodies up high?
They shoot to kill for
No real reason why
So I resign
Repeat Chorus
Outro
Like rocks thrown at
Black boys and girls
On the way to school
With rabid whites
Like every gun shot to the
Heads chest spines
Of those
Who had the spines
Like the atom bomb
That forced our hand
After millions tossed in ditches
Like slabs of meat
Does it hurt?
Good.

Intro
I love you
Verse 1
Are you troubled?
I see you crying (I love you)
I see you lock yourself
In bathroom stalls
While you’re at school
The kids don’t like you
I hear you’re threatenin
To kill yourself
Someone should reach out
Someone should check on you
They say it’s darkest
Just before the dawn
I found your diary
You wrote a death wish
You’d be surprised
To survive 21
Chorus
I love you
XO
XO
(Repeat)
Verse 2
You fuckin made it
You made it out the hood
You finished college and
Moved to New York
Just like you always
Told everyone you would
You are the baddest bitch I fuckin know
You drink in hotels
And sleep with wealthy men
Pick up the tab
For your fairweather friends
But you’re still lonely
It’s you against them all
It’s you you’ve gotta love
Until the end
Repeat Chorus
Bridge
Turn it around, baby
You’re fallin down lately
Turn it around, baby
You’re gonna save me
Back to step one, darlin
Who are you?
Back to step one
It won’t break you
Don’t let it break you
Repeat Chorus (out)
