letra de girl speak lightning - metallic.words (t'afari steede)
girl speak lightning
girl still fighting
the thunder in my voice
can’t be outrun
dis lightning in my eyes
can’t be dimmed by
white noise
this girl ain’t a girl by convenience
when you entered these shores
it was out of lenience
did you think you could enter these shores
enjoy a rum n’ coke?
i got volcanoes on my island ready to erupt!
hope you snap a pretty picture
when the smoke spirals up
’cause this girl ain’t a girl by convenience
matter of fact
this store is closing
we won’t be traded like the history
exploding in front of our faces
if you’d pay your children the same attention
you did to your likes and mentions
you’d realize our future ain’t nothing
but a prison sentence
but this girl
ain’t a girl
by convenience
only woman
when our faces are subject to male gazes?
you better run
when you witness
the lightning
on my tongue
i don’t need bullets
when my weapon
is the pen in my right hand
sick and tired of fighting for respect
from a white man
400 centuries and the repercussions of colonialism
still affecting my island
400 centuries and my people denigrated to the sea, the trees
and this white sand
our footprints will be forgotten like the earth
when you wipe out whole forests
bring wildlife to extinction
create entire wastelands to circle the world
don’t be surprised when girls forced to become women
from birth
this is a blessing and a curse
for you to keep underestimating our worth
girl speak lightning
girl still fighting
girl biting tongues, ain’t scared of no snakes in the grass
