mona haydar - barbarian lyrics
[intro]
if they’re civilized, i’d rather stay savage
[chorus]
we them barbarians
beautiful and scaring them
earth-shaking, rattling
be wild out loud again
we them barbarians
jasmine and frankincense
feminine invading them
beautiful barbarians
say it again
beautiful barbarians!
say it again
beautiful barbarians!
a beast before; now?
they wanna be wearing my skin
we don’t let them win
we’re beautiful barbarians
[verse 1]
lemme think back
i remember days
on these big lips
oh, they used to hate
now the script flipped
oh hayy!
they got a lipkit, kylie j
100 real talk, that’s what i’m on
if i’m a savage, then you’re a fraud
my chains off, won’t be long
see me glowing, look at god
[pre-chorus]
so fresh and so eloquent, uh
i keep it humble and elegant, uh
your beauty standard irrelevant, uh
a revolution is so imminent, uh
we keep it joyful and bedouin, uh
i see my mama as evidence, uh
n0body needs your benevolence, wha?
feminist planet is imminent, ah!
[chorus]
we them barbarians
beautiful and scaring them
earth-shaking, rattling
be wild out loud again
we them barbarians
jasmine and frankincense
feminine, invading them
beautiful barbarians
say it again
beautiful barbarians!
say it again
beautiful barbarians!
a beast before; now?
they wanna be wearing my skin
we don’t let them win
we beautiful barbarians
[verse 2]
barbarian? that’s how you really feel?
like you didn’t start war over oil fields?
opium, poppy seeds, money moves, cardi b
tried to make me hate me
for my hips and nose
now they got impostors
on a spread in vogue
not a single feature
that they let us own
oh, they packing fillers
styrofoam
[pre-chorus]
ultralight beam metaphysical, uh
power no longer invisible, huh?
your beauty standard is cynical, oh!
a revolution is so critical
power so deep and so mystical
they say the personal is so political, oh
women, our future is winnable
we gotta be indivisible
[chorus]
we them barbarians
beautiful and scaring them
earth-shaking, rattling
be wild out loud again
we them barbarians
jasmine and frankincense
feminine, invading them
beautiful barbarians
say it again
beautiful barbarians!
say it again
beautiful barbarians!
a beast before; now?
they wanna be wearing my skin
we don’t let them win
we beautiful barbarians
[outro]
this nose: decolonize
this hair: decolonize
this skin: decolonize
this body: decolonize
this mind: decolonize
