lyrics

In short I could blame
All my misery
In whiteness
And patriarchy.

And in long,
I could tell you all my history,
Elaborate in what they did to me
As I tried to exist in this world
As I gave love and claimed some in return.

It’s a full-time job to remain sane
If the standard they serve is inhumane
No, I’m not victimising myself
Just making sure you’ve got all intel
To deal with me
Make sure you’ll act
Accordingly
I’ve been thru hell!
(Meticulously elaborated by)
You and your ancestors
Categorising me
’N a way I cannot choose
Whether I’ll compactuate.

It’s global
The awakened sense of urgency
Their violence is not ancestral
They just don’t wanna dig in too deep
Queerness simply is pre-colonial
So is our solidarity
Sisterhood, patience and empathy
Our values we must hold on tight
And destroy their illusion of might
Over my kind
I’ll not forget!
Now is our time,
Stay put, sister!
