[Intro] “I'm not every day tryna turn up to the sound of my own oppression, you feel me?”
“We always assume our own powerlessness but never our own power.”
“Stigma is one of the most effective forms of oppression, because it denies us the vocabulary to talk comfortably and confidently about our own bodies.”
[Verse 1] When I wake up in the morning Hit space bar and start recording My mom says that she'll adore me The earth is still waiting for me
[Interlude] [Meera Gandhi, Kiran's mom, chanting during a meditation]
[Bridge] Waiting for me Waiting for me
[Verse 2] I won't take in what they feed us Run away in my Adidas Brown girls of the world they need us Truth is love and love will free us
[Pre-Chorus] Love will free us Love will free us
[Chorus 1] I've been livin in the wild now When you taste freedom you're not tryna get tied down Hear it in the words I say and the way I walk I'm not part of their lies now
[Interlude] “I don't want our identity to be defined according to how oppressed we are. Do you feel me?”
[Verse 3] Dim our minds with drugs and liquor Knowing that we'll die off quicker All our people getting sicker Can't afford organic stickers
Sorrow makes their wallets thicker We must see the bigger picture
Womxn who have come before us Mothers, sisters, non-conformists All the things that they've done for us The earth is still waiting for us
[Interlude] Waiting for us Waiting for us
[Pre-Chorus] If we're strong they can't ignore us The earth is still waiting for us! If we're loud they can't ignore us The earth is still waiting for us! If we're one they can't ignore us The earth is still waiting for us! If we're true they can't ignore us The earth is still waiting for us!
[Chorus 2] I've been livin in the wild now When you taste freedom you're not tryna get tied down See it in the way I think and the food I eat I'm not part of their lies now
