This is a trigger warning
This is a trigger warning
This is a trigger warning
This is a trigger warning
This is a warning that the next song contains lyrics on: rape, forced incest, slavery, oppression, racism
It's not wrong if you have to skip the next track and come back
And it's not wrong if you have to skip the next track and come back
When you're ready
On your timing
When you're ready
On your timing
This is a trigger warning
This is a trigger warning
This is a warning that the next song is triggering
Easy
They never said it would be
Easy
No one, told us, black love was
Easy
Yet here we are tryna work it out
Still here tryna work it out
They never thought we could work it out
They never wanted us to work it out
They said love wasn't for us baby
That we could never comprehend such things
That we were merely animals, not beings
Well,
I come from woman, who
Tend to that land
Next to man
But's reminded that
She just a woman
By forceful dick
And
That woman
Who'd kill her kid
Than see them live a slave
You come from man who have been forced to f*ck
And be f*cked
Against your will
In front your child
With, your child
Or wichyo mama and aunty too
Mentally they break you down and take your spirit too
But keep your body for good use
The strongest, the leanest, keep them but
Break them down
Keep them down, yeah
Make an example to show them all
Yet here we are tryna work it out
Look at us tryna work it out
They never thought we could work it out
They never wanted us to work it out
You best believe we gonna work it out
Against the odds we choose to work it out
You and me we gonna work it out
The two of us gotta work it out
Despite our history we'll work it out
Yeah, we'll work it out
Everyday we choose to work it out
Because we deserve to work it out
Kings and queens, we will work it out
Kings and queens, we gotta work it out
All my people, we gotta work it out
We deserve to work it out
We gotta work it out
Work it out
Love itself has no colour
But you and me, we do
And there's trauma and complexity, from our history
Yeah, it's true
Yet we choose to love
We still choose to love
