metallic.words (t'afari steede) - the tigress lyrics
sanite bélair
i could swallow a sword
you brought a tigress on board
know that i laid the course
i am the foundation of course
i am the foundation of course
sweat on my shoulders
or maybe it’s blood
at this point i sink back
it’s the one thing that belongs to me
that they could never take back
don’t you dare cry for me !
told you i wrote the code
for freedom
reversing their code
for slavery
we ain’t settling for nothing
but liberty
won’t stop fighting
‘til dessalines is de first black ruler
of haiti
i got married at fifteen
afranchi comes with restrictions
honey+moon phase nonexistent:
we ain’t had de time
to slow dance unless
hypnotizing
de
system
why you think toussaint
made me lieutenant
in dis revolution:
‘cause i could wield a sword
better than any man:
when they hear that steel clash
wish they could return to france
it’s a
fast stop to memories
of de motherland
i know my warrior spirit
intrinsic to all african women
we’ve always been leaders of the revolution
they call me tigress for a reason
freedom ain’t ever out of season
chopping block execution ?
don’t you know i am a soldier?
won’t be blindfolded
from de pain
with my head
on your boulder
i could swallow a sword
you brought a tigress on board
know that i laid the course
i am the foundation of course
i am the foundation of course
