La La La
(专辑: Swimming Lessons - 2019)
I
wanna say I
run the
sound like I'm over it Keep my four to the
floor we are threatening But it's mental how your words can unravel it They pick apart the
pieces like a
piquant pepper pickles it I'm running with the
signs, I'm a
rebel and Keep in line or they cry you're not feminine I'm the
light that towards you should be running So I'ma try to remind galdem just human Woah, I
didn't say nothing about a
woman who wanted a
fair shot, who wanted to tear up I
don't know maybe I
mean it but sometimes I
feel I
gotta give up Think about that woman who wanted to stand here Up against her peers As if it weren't weird If you're feeling bad, well I
wanna warn you that "calm down" Will be the
next sound inna your delicate ears La la la la La la la la (la la, la la) La la la la La la la la La la la la La la la la (la la, la la) La la la la La la la la (la la la, la la la, la) I
heard they been talking Now which kind of righteous path is it that you think that you've been walking? Looks like snorting and extorting I
ain't supporting or applauding None of that energy, that's appalling Think I'm crawling cos I
ain't balling? It's the
dice game of life and I'm all in I
dodge the
goblins on my left I
swerve the
leeches on my right hand side Believe things can really start itching If you don't start checking for parasites Am I
paranoid? Nah I'm para-nice Trust nobody, yeah that's some rad advice Seeing red better stop like a
traffic light Shook up ready to pop like a
can of Sprite La la la la La la la la (la la, la la) La la la la La la la la La la la la La la la la (la la, la la) La la la la La la la la (la la la, la la la, la) I'm so sick of belittling and aggression so passive If I
go one day without being reminded of my skin and sex it's just massive Taking all my energy, level of my lethargy, stepping on my every moment although I
cannot be anything because "why don't you smile, honey?" Maybe cos I
matter 30% less than a
bredda from the
Midwest I
won't serve as a
window from which your whole world perception does shine I
won't protect you from your ignorance when your lack of knowledge and culture presides Women of colour couldn't stand here Up against their peers Cause it was so weird And if you're feeling bad well I
wanna warn you that "calm down" will be the
next sound inna your delicate ears I
guess I'm learning What I
didn't wanna learn, learn, learn, learn, learn I
guess I'm burning What I
didn't wanna burn, burn, burn, burn, burn I
guess I'm learning What I
didn't wanna learn, learn, learn, learn, learn Watch as the
night becomes the
light then fades to black What I
didn't wanna learn, learn, learn, learn, learn What I
didn't wanna What I
didn't wanna I
gues I
didn't wanna What I
didn't wanna learn, learn, learn, learn, learn, learn, learn, learn, learn I'm learning I'm learning I'm learning I'm learning
