know(earth) Lyrics

Trying to find the balance between masculine and femine

And if you really know me you'd address me as a they and not she

No hear me out

Seems like everyone these days no care about the original meaning of the world's they say

Casting spells with their mouth Shifting matter with the sound

Sinking us deep underground

I'm trying to rise above

I'm trying to rise above

See thanks to Whitney I learnt not to live in anyone's shadow

Wonder if my dad understood when he played her tunes cus contrary to my truth he was asking me to be a Christian girl

Submissive wife

Hardworking slave

Obedient to my lord and savior

Who equals as my husband

Who equals as my son

Who equals as every other man in this world because God is a man and he doesn't look like me

He awfully looks like you

Oh man oh man oh

E gbo ye fiarie me gboshua

E gbo ye fiarie me gboshua

E gbo ye fiarie me gboshua

E gbo ye fiarie me gboshua

I can't say that I know it all

I can say that I know enough

I can't say that I've grown at all if I'm still the same person that I've been

This life is meant for living and I've lived many lives

I'm just a mere observer some call it projector

Come to me I'm your doctor here to see how you're doing

I've diagnosed the world and I don't like what I'm seeing

I think we all need a minute

Sit back reflect and just feel it I think we all need some healing

And academic excellence is really colonized thinking

I think intelligence is really just your inner knowing

That's what they didn't tell us back in school when we were growing

Judging us based on numbers like we weren't just little children like we ain't just really human

Mehn all these institutions don't teach you how to love yourself and trust yourself and know yourself they just teach you to work yourself

They just teach how to be the best version of somebody else

Work hard qualify come out and work for the system

Base your worth off what you're making

Replace the fact with religion

Pay for the water you're drinking and hate yourself when youre slacking

Cus without money you're sinking no access to basic living look at the world that we live in

Man created scarcity off an abundance

Put a price on natural things that are free

Circulate the profit in exchange for some fake shit

I'm trying to get closer to anything that's real

And what grows from the soil is all I need

When I talk about grounding I mean literally go outside

Go out in nature put your feet on the soil the earth is speaking and I'm trying to listen

The earth is speaking and I'm trying to listen

I'm tryna listen cus the earth is speaking

And I'm tryna listen cus the earth is speaking

And I'm tryna listen tapped into my inner knowing

Cus I'm tryna listen and the earth is speaking

Everything I need is all around me

I got everything I need

And it's all around me

And it supposed to be free
