Unmoved (A Black Woman Truth)

I’ll leave the way I came
Unseen, unheard, unmoved
A Black woman truth

4 years old too Black to play
My first crush showed me all the right shades for his love
And it brands you

You get a new leader and think you know trauma
I’m 20 years of breakdowns and mantras
Spare me the shock in looking at yourselves
It scares me there’s shock I could love myself
How I do

Oh

Cry in the bathroom
But they’ll never have you
It’s always been bigger than this
And I fucking swear I swear down
That we love ourselves politically
It’s rebellious

Are you sitting comfortable
While we bleed in vain
I’ve died by other names

Please make me feel you care my ally
But are you prepared to
To lose your sleep
To bare your teeth
To break like me

Cry in the bathroom
But they’ll never have you
It’s always been bigger than this
And I fucking swear I swear down
That we love ourselves politically
It’s rebellious

I’ll leave the way I came
Unseen, unheard, unmoved
A Black woman truth
