letra de black woman (lauryn hill cover) - bree runway

[intro: oumou sangaré]
woman cry, give life
mother mary and baby the burden she carry all time
woman cry, when give us life
and she beg he forgive us, the sin and dem sinners all time, whoa

[verse 1: oumou sangaré]
foreign man take me from land
banished my name, i survive all the same
nuff commotion, way across ocean
through whip and chain, i survive all the same

[chorus: oumou sangaré]
so dem a go make war before we free
why dem a go make war before we free?
so dem a go make war bеfore we free
why dem a go makе war before we free?

[verse 2: oumou sangaré]
tie my neck, ship, it don’t wreck
bind me to tree, i survive, they will see, ah
whip they crack, scar me ‘pon back
so we gon’ see who survive make us free

[chorus: oumou sangaré]
so dem a go make war before we free
why dem a go make war before we free?
so dem a go make war before we free
why dem a go make war before we free?
[verse 3: bree runway]
follow, follow, people
they know they follow
people all know they copy
people all in my grotto
they see me like a genie
try to keep me in a bottle
petty, petty people, keep them incommunicado
they tie you up in strings
they play n-ggas like pizzicato

lose sight of the picture scripture
now they not so steady
meanwhile i’m like curtis mayfield
getting people ready
to see into the future then
cut through like a machete
or cutlass, all these trappings
leavin’ n-gga gutless

you can’t make moves for justice
you can’t make no adjustments
drowning in corruption
charlie addict to convenience
now they got you caught up
and callin’ freedom extremists
we’re not in agreement
i won’t lay down politely
i closed my mouth for years and
they still tried to fight me
i sat down on the sidelines
and they still tried to bite me
they think they buried my career
and promoted my peers to spite me
but they can’t tell me nothing charlie
they don’t underwrite me

i’ve had a lot of money thrown at me
but none of that sh-t excites me
it’s just another kind of cage
to get up in my psyche
to use me as an instrument
to further push their puppet show
but i’m not inexperienced
and this not my first rodeo
i’m not so shallow charlie
i call it too precisely

separate bone from marrow
so much soul that they dislike me
intuitives (intuitives) charlie
we be like fugitives (fugitives)
until the universe responds to
show them who the student is
[bridge: bree runway]
woman cry (woman cry) gives life (gives us life)
mother mary and baby the burden she carries all time (burden she carries)
woman cry (woman cry) gives us life (gives us life)
and she beg he forgive us, the sin and the sinners all time (begs he forgives us)

[chorus: oumou sangaré]
so dem a go make war before we free
why dem a go make war before we free?
so dem a go make war before we free
why dem a go make war before we free?

made by me
