Welfare
04:45

Defaulted to benefit from our enslavement
Generation after generation
Born at the top, held up by our backs
And choosing, to turn the other cheek
THAT’S PRIVILEGE
To inhabit your skin without fear
To inhabit your body without shame
To love who you want, to walk at night alone,
To be standing on the outside looking in
THAT’S PRIVILEGE
Chorus:
Welfare, Welfare!
They built an empire off your backs, off your backs!
Taxing your labor to secure their fortune
With no accountability
Cough up that restitution
Make you pay your debt to me
To navigate the spaces we’re not allowed to roam
Blind to exclusion you’ll never have to know
Dismantle the whole thing or nothing will change
Cuz the system was built to protect
YOUR PRIVILEGE
Repeat Chorus
The Safety of your fragility
Is priority
In this war
Against poor bodies and minorities
In this war
Against womxn and the not so binary
In this war against all black bodies
Fighting globally
THERE’S NO PEACE
Without Justice, Our kids are casualties
From Favela to Palestine
All our Mothers weep
From Plantation To President
Still the same story
From the Classroom
To prison cell Is the new chattel slavery
Repeat chorus

Filha Da Luta
03:30
|

Guerrera sem remorso
O sistema mata, um sistema morto
Sangue do meu povo
Nas suas mãos e nos seus bolsos
Um grito que vem da lua
Chamando o povo pra recuperar
O que foi roubado
Da natureza e dos nossos ancestrais
Filha da luta!
tomar de volto o que é nosso, Não vamos esperar
Filha da luta!
A vitória é nossa, eu nunca vou parar
(Repete)
Construído pelos ossos das costas das nossas avós
Construido pelos ossos das costas dos nossos avôs

Not Your Exotic
02:06

Don’t wanna be your exotic
Your necrotic erotic
All that’s beautiful is dead to you
Fuck your sense of “Otherness”
You’ve tagged on to my face
My magic is sacred, I will refuse
Not for your seduction
On display in despair
Respect my autonomy
Don’t touch my hair!
Make no trophy of me or what’s below my waist
Not your exotic not your, erotic
Trapped in your Violence, I want out of this cage
Not your exotic not your, Erotic
Not your voodoo princess
Your queen of darkness
Or sassy black girl with an attitude
Fuck your misogynistic, sexist, violent,
Racist fetish, let’s tell the truth
It’s pathological
It’s predatory
Caging us like animals
In a zoo
Repeat chorus
Not your exotic
Not your erotic
