Swallowing My Pride

[00:00.07] The revolution will not be digitized
[00:17.86] They called her a Marxist
[00:20.33] A fraction of the truth, she's an artist
[00:23.71] Looking for the meaning, what the past is
[00:26.95] Trying to understand who she is
[00:29.34] Take a breath, she's a s-s-sociologist
[00:33.48] Looking for the truth through the politics
[00:36.65] Systems in the hierarchy calls
[00:39.79] But no one ever seems to really know
[00:42.72] Does the world know?
[00:44.68] Swallowing all my pride, it is difficult
[00:48.03] Trying to hide all my lies, feel invisible
[00:51.38] Bleeding from the in-inside, psychological
[00:54.95] More than physical, more than physical
[00:57.83] Tears rolling down my eyes, it's emotional
[01:01.07] Trying to understand my life, kinda manic though
[01:04.27] Moving on the wrong side, it's political
[01:07.85] More than physical, it's societal
[01:11.16] When they took my name
[01:12.97] I never thought that I would ever be the same
[01:16.25] A broken version of myself, I carried their pain
[01:19.46] I'm guessing in a miracle, this melanin is magical
[01:22.72] My culture's not a spectacle
[01:24.39] We're holding plans, not plantations
[01:27.03] I do what I can, new foundations
[01:30.65] I'm a strong woman, new creations
[01:33.44] Black-Black-Black is beautiful, Black-Black-Black is beautiful
[01:36.58] Swallowing all my pride, it is difficult
[01:39.93] Trying to hide all my lies, feel invisible
[01:43.22] Bleeding from the in-inside, psychological
[01:46.84] More than physical, more than physical
[01:49.60] Tears rolling down my eyes, it's emotional
[01:52.98] Trying to understand my life, kinda manic though
[01:56.17] Moving on the wrong side, it's political
[01:59.72] More than physical, it's societal
[02:03.03] Everybody just keep singing your song, yeah
[02:06.22] Everybody just keep singing your song, yeah (It's political)
[02:09.42] Everybody just keep singing your song
[02:11.99] As we dance through the streets, keep on singing your song, yeah
[02:15.91] Everybody just keep singing your song, yeah (The revolution will not be digitized)
[02:19.24] Everybody just keep singing your song, yeah (It's political)
[02:22.47] Everybody just keep singing your song (The revolution will not be digitized)
[02:25.85] As we dance through the streets, keep on singing your song, yeah (It's political)
[02:28.42] Swallowing all my pride, it is difficult
[02:31.82] Trying to hide all my lies, feel invisible
[02:35.18] Bleeding from the in-inside, psychological
[02:38.70] More than physical, more than physical
[02:41.50] Tears rolling down my eyes, it's emotional
[02:44.83] Trying to understand my life, kinda manic though
[02:48.06] Moving on the wrong side, it's political
[02:51.66] More than physical, it's societal
[02:56.51]
[03:21.39] Somewhere in the spaces I fall
[03:28.19]
[03:31.32] Somewhere in the spaces I fall
[03:39.29]
[03:41.38] Somewhere in the spaces I fall
[03:51.38] Somewhere in the spaces I fall
[04:00.06] You give me life, you give me life
[04:10.23] You give me something that I can hold onto
[04:15.23]
