I've come to know the taste of dirt The rejection upon my tongue Oh, I know my coat is black I've been a threat since I was young Held down, head down Held down, head down Held down, head down Held down, head down I'm turning, twisting upwards Chasing my essence towards the sun Magic in my infancy I was perfect, I was one Held down, head down Held down, head down Held down, head down Held down, head down I break you with my nature Mouth and volcano, one My arms screaming with branches Womb of ocean undone Feeding upon my own flesh Eyеs fire with what I've won Swallow you in tsunami Wild forces ovеrrun I guess the gift, I kissed the stone And loved the damage that's been done A child's blood was drawn from me My river drools communion Held down, head down Held down, head down Held down, head down Held down, head down My body crushes yours now I'm burning with the sun Swallow you in tsunami Wild forces overrun Rise up, girl, oh rise up Speak your truth, speak your truth Fear none and walk without shame Remember, no more dying No more dying No more dying No more dying
