They used to say to my mama Her eyes look so old They used to say to my papa She is too bold As I got older, all they wanted to ask me Is what are you Are you a Christian Do you belong to Islam A Rastafarian or a Jew Who are you What do you stand for Who do you worship Are you a pagan What is your belief system As if I couldn't see They just wanted to categorize me So they could then despise me Trying to divide me Into pieces I am complete And the truth is I'm the Original Woman All life it comes through me I can say Morembe, Ettise, Hotep or Tendai Mwari It's all me I am the Original Woman, All nations are wrapped up in my story Every land on this earth has been touched And blessed by my feet It's all me They used to say to my mama Her eyes look so old They used to say to my papa She is too bold As I grew bolder, all they wanted to ask me Is who do you think you are Where do you get these ideas from Who gave you the right to question And change our tradition You're too high Come out of the sky What do you stand for Who do you worship You must be a pagan With no belief system As if I couldn't see They just wanted me to categorize me So I would then despise me Trying to divide me Into pieces I am complete And the truth is I am the Original Woman All life it comes through me I can say Morembe, Ettise, Hotep or Tendai Mwari It's all me I am the Original Woman All nations are wrapped up in my story Every land on this earth has been touched And blessed by my feet It's all me I'm the Original Woman
