Inspired by the Poem "Not your erotic, Not your exotic" written by Palestinian-Brooklynite Poet, Author and activist: Suheir Hammad;
NOTE: *Please check out Suheir's book "Born Palestinian, Born Black and the Gaza Suite."

lyrics

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
