From My Sisters ft. Raphaela, Anae, Ms Fu & Dzyadzorm - Ko-Jo Cue

...

Listen to the stories

You can't see the pain in our eyes

Do you only call yourself an ally just to keep your mind satisfied?

Uh, Anae

Been crying out for allegiance for the longest while

My brothers told me I should keep them all on speed dial

You know my mama raised me in a way, to make sure I can get it any day

That ain't a threat to you though, so don't move insecure

I've got you, you've got me, that's law, what more

When you're confronted with your demons what you gonna tell 'em

Do we even share the same sentiments

I tell my sisters we should rally up, bally up, hooded up

On the front line like we've had enough, your time is up

Stay claiming misandry, claiming I'm miss angry

On your not all men steeze, uh

You see the weight of the world's already getting to me

And now you're adding to the load

You're supposed to alleviate me

You're supposed to appreciate me

Create, initiate some schemes with me

Remediate this pain with me, come on

Brittle bones still walk the walk

Painting white flags red

We said we won't be silent, won't be scared

Nooo

Nooo o

Past me, past you

Past them, past time

Man, this world remains past forever you know?

And if if we're gonna make a change then it's together, you know

Because tomorrow's for the daughters, they need better, you know

If time is upon us, why the hell we still alive?

We still living in the little corners of our lives

And there's still women always getting pestered in their strides

It's the man's world

It's the old man's world

New men are often taught, all the old man's wrongs

I'm sure you're old enough to be a new man bro

Don't you grow into your dad, be a new man bro

Stories on the news get me livid

Everybody's acting quite indifferent

I pray your little girl never meets this ugly world

Brittle bones still walk the walk

Painting white flags red

We said we won't be silent, won't be scared

Nooo

Nooo o

The women you praise for their silence gather us

Round and stack the sum of their voices on our tongues

The mother you hail for her sacrifice tells us there

Is nothing holy about burning alive for her entitled sons

You're too busy fiddling with the idea of dominance to

Witness your sister fighting back the language of shadows

Your father cast her aside saying girls and boys can't play that close

And you started calling him king for it

You're growing into a man who thinks everywhere he steps is his

You claim ownership from the home, to church, to office

Act like our existence wasn't meant to occupy much space

And somehow don't get why we're as loud as this

We've been stacking up, remember?

To match up to ten thousand boom boxes

We know you shrug us off but reckoning is coming, just you wait

You would've gotten away with it

Too if not for these fucking feminists

We've been running in circles, dancing with the devil

And clearly none of that was enough

If I am not your mother, your sister or your lover...

Is being who I am not enough to save?

If there's anything left to say...

Are you gonna listen today?
