Circles

I love me some commas but love my community more

Grew me some braids, beat me some odds, but trust me it left me with so many scars

(Tapwe)

I'm painting a picture, he tell me to get it, I'm with it I'm gone

Like what is you on? Been grinding so long, ugh

I'm never no stingy the Afghan is blowin' I'm back in the city like, whoa

I play with a pivot no changing my image we're more than just arrows and bows

I came from the bottom I'm still at the bottom but baby I'm dipping my toes

No longer whipping and flipping them Os mamas so proud cuz mama she know

I do this for babies who brown someone go give them they crowns give them they flowers

Someone go call up the crown tell them to search up the grounds 24 hours

Someone go get on they neck someone go teach 'em respect

Someone go get on the line, tell ''em my neechies got next

I do this for babies who grew up with kokums who poor

Minimum wage, moppin' up floors, still got her pride, what happen to yours? Aye

I wake in the morning I smudge up and tell 'em I'm grateful to gitchi manitou

Offer my prayers, give 'em to you, you send 'em back, do what it do

I love me some commas, but love my community more

Grew me some braids, beat me some odds, but trust me it left me with so many scars

I'm painting a picture he tell me to get it I with it I'm gone

Like what is you on? Been grinding so long, ugh

I'm counting my blessings

Turning my Ls into lessons

I'm from the trenches

I got the bear in the pendant fresh off the benches

Ooh, what an entrance

Watch my ascension, switching dimensions

I got a hundred with me

We rolling deep in the street

I got these spirits that talking through me, yeah

The bodies identified this is a Genocide

You better get inside

Pray to the minister

They stole the children, it's sinister

Dead in the winter, ya tell them the truth

Shout out the youth

I'm here to lift up your consciences

Fulfilling prophecies, everything opposite

I don't want five percent, I want it all

Dismantle systems and I'll watch 'em fall

I got the flaws, me yeah, I come from the stars

Put on for community, I got the scars

I been so down with the cause

Jump on the track and I'm hitting unpause

You mess with the Bear then you getting the claws

I love me some commas but love my community more

Grew me some braids, beat me some odds, but trust me it left me with so many scars

I'm painting a picture he tell me to get it I with it I'm gone

Like what is you on? Been grinding so long

I love me some commas, but love my community more

Grew me some braids, beat me some odds, but trust me it left me with so many scars

I'm painting a picture, he tell me to get it, I'm with it I'm gone

Like what is you on? Been grinding so long
