Yo this right here is for my motherfucking teachers
Dr. Angie Davis, bell hooks, Mikki Kendall
Actually f*ck that, this is from my teachers
Mikki Kendall especially
Matter fact, go ahead and put this shit on pause and go cop Hood Feminism right now
Yeah I know nigga, it's a book but
The most dangerous thing in these United States
Is a nigga with a library card so that's a great place to start
Yeah
Let's go
I see you shine
I see the glow
And you look invincible
I see what you rock
I see how you roll
And you look invincible
She put in that work like a boss
(She put in that work like a boss)
She taking no shorts or no losses
(Ain't taking no shorts or no losses)
Girl you fierce (ay she so fierce)
But what do it cost? (what do it cost?)
We give 'em applause (we give 'em applause)
But what about when it stops?
We got you covered (we got you covered)
We got you covered
Oh you got 'em huh?
Then why we not keeping that energy up when the other red bottom drops?
You look invincible for real
Black wo-man of steel
But we call you that it conceals
The trauma that you must feel
But still we call you 'matriarch'
And staying alive means playing the part
But matriarchs they own shit
It ain't just running a home and shit
So that really ain't the ideal word
When you can say the same 'bout a lil girl
Playing house in Aunt Leah's pearls
She got no power in the real world
So you keep calling 'em 'matriarch'
I'm calling y'all on your bullshit
Got a payroll like Bezos
And won't even give up a lil bit
Whole reason they made the myth
They saw slave women doing major shit
Was in the field, was raising kids
They're scared their women'll get ideas
Might've been the right decision
'Cause after that came the white women
Said "f*ck the kitchen, get down to business"
But didn't pick up their brown sisters
Now they come with the quickness to fetishize your fierceness
But they just as quick to dismiss you when you need assistance
Get on twitter she hot as ever
Come talk to me when she got cheddar
Equality would be great and all
But equity be a lot better
I see you shine
I see the glow
And you look invincible
I see what you rock
I see how you roll
And you look invincible
She put in that work like a boss
(She put in that work like a boss)
She taking no shorts or no losses
(Ain't taking no shorts or no losses)
Girl you fierce (ay she so fierce)
But what do it cost? (what do it cost?)
We give 'em applause (we give 'em applause)
But what about when it stops?
We got you covered (we got you covered)
We got you covered
Oh you got 'em huh?
Then why we not keeping that energy up
When the other red bottom drops?
