On the verge of destruction
Distractions everywhere, open my books but no instructions
Trying to get my life together can't you see
Music my religion, that saxophone bringing peace
Synchronizing to my epiphany
I'm that Mwamikazi kose, rwose
Hano ntabyamafuti, sustainable goals
I'm tryna create something concrete
Music is the weapon of the future, said Fela Kuti
Tryna understand the past
No longer running from the present
A gift to behold, I gotta get back to my essence
To fall for dudes, with no real attendance see
So I take a breath of fresh air
I just gotta let you know
Don't ever let them kill your soul
I just gotta let you know
Don't ever let them kill your soul
It's getting harder to speak to some men
My patience don't run deep
Like the hole they bury us in
Acting like wolves for pretend
Then talking about hashtag, not all men
You're pulling at my existence
Here to let you know it grows
And I don't want to have hate, for nobody
Except for people out here
Disrespecting my body, my choice
Ego tremble, now I'm a rebel
One foot on your neck, one foot on the pedal
We won't stop, we won't settle
See, me and my sisters dying
How I'm s'posed to be settled
How I'm s'posed to sleep at night
When you come in like the devil
You come in like the devil
I just want to say yeah, yeah
I just gotta let you know
Don't ever let them kill your soul
I just gotta let you know
Don't ever let them kill your soul
I just gotta let you know
Don't ever let them kill your soul
I just gotta let you know
Don't ever let them kill your soul
Eartha said leave them stat
If they're holding you back
Eartha said leave them stat
If they're holding you back
Eartha said leave them stat
If they're holding you back
