We are the mothers of civilization
We carry the entire nation on our backs
Our wounds have birthed America's greatest accomplishments
But be clear, our wrath will bring her to her knees
I am a black woman, and the black woman is queen
Wind is high and stormy tonight
We can feel it's magical light
As the sea comes speaking to me
Siren voices drift out of key
Wind and sea mix thoughts in my brain
As we feel it's magical light
Wind and sea mix thoughts in my brain
As we feel it's magical light
Yeah, sittin' on the cement, readin' out the full agreement (Wind and sea)
Don't take shit personally, nigga, just see reflections of they own demon
Own buildings, don't need a loan neither (Nah)
Tryna measure my contributions, homie, you gon' need a long meter
My lyrics on a song with a strong beat
Give you my past just to tell a nigga his future like a palm reader (Damn)
Under palm trees blowin' weed with my feet up
Ain't never worry 'bout when nigga even mess a feat up
You shouldn't ever assume, knowledge is king so
Ask 'bout what you wanna know and say what you mean bro
Met with Farrakhan and asked him, "How in the hell do you love niggas more than they hate they self?"
When you can make it anywhere, but you did make it there
Stay in the same hood that kill you 'fore you get to really take it there
No God perfect, they don't make it fair
I'm meditatin' to keep from gettin' stuck in my way 'cause it ain't safe in there
(Wind and sea mix thoughts in my brain)
Keep from gettin' stuck in my way 'cause it ain't safe
(We can feel it's magical light)
After a darker night come a brighter day, ayy
(Wind and sea mix thoughts in my brain)
Be cautious of shit that you get easy, right away, ayy
(We can feel it's magical light)
They say after a darker night come a brighter day
Yeah, nowadays I try to stay up out the gossip column (I am)
Ignore opinions of people who can't even think to solve small problems (Stupid)
So what the fuck I look like? Yell it out
Havin' a power struggle with motherfuckers who ain't even got no fuckin' power
It be, the same ones tryna empower
That'll kill you either way, 'til you're dead before they give flowers (Damn)
I'd rather die today before I live in fear (Yeah)
And that go for any nigga on this hemisphere (Uh)
Young nigga in it, already winnin', huh? (Forreal')
I be over here when you're twenty minutes up, yeah
How you gon' make it there burnin' bridges up?
Took too many lessons for granted, you shoulda listened (Boy)
N**** hate on me, out of ignorance, out of envy
Out of fucks to give ya, ho, fuck up out of my business
I got a vision, and journey, and an attorney
Just in case, I use this burner to keep me off of the gurney, ah
(Wind and sea mix thoughts in my brain)
Keep from gettin' stuck in my way 'cause it ain't safe enough
(We can feel it's magical light)
Yeah, after a darker night come a bright day, ayy
(Wind and sea mix thoughts in my brain)
Be cautious of shit that you get easy, right away, ayy, be well
(We can feel it's magical light)
They say after a darker night come a bright day
My name is Tamika D. Mallory
And let me be the one to tell you: A revolution is in progress
I come in the tradition of Harriet Tubman, Ida B. Wells, Ella Baker, and Angela Davis
Mixed with a little bit of Jada Pinkett Smith and Cardi B
Because, you see, Black women aren't one-dimensional
We think different; we move different; we feel different ways about different things
We are not a monolith
But the one thing we all agree on is we deserve respect
And we demand respect
First, we demand respect from our Black kings, and then, we demand respect from the world
