paper bows - midnight moonlight lyrics

(verse 1)
i been getting to the nitty gritty these days
shadow working be working
healing sure ain’t perfect
i’m just trying to unlearn all the bullsh+t
that my people had me steeping in since infancy
it ain’t they fault though
it’s just what they was taught you know
after generations had to wade
through supremist hate to survive
can’t blame them for trying to stay alive
they did they best to bring me up
and give me all the keys they owned
i’ll never downplay all the lovе that they showed
but their truth was so loud
it madе me turn mine down
i’ll fade into silence
if i don’t speak up now
that ain’t a price that i consent to
i’m breaking curses that you’re used to
sam cook said a change gone come
but paper bows said a change has come
the truth will set you free

(chorus)
i was playing a part
but i’m bursting at the seams
and it ain’t gon’ get far
i can feel it in my being
she been standing on the street corner waiting for me
who
truth
the truth that’ll set you free
i was playing a part
but i’m bursting at the seams
and it ain’t gon’ get far
i can feel it in my being
they been standing on the street corner waiting for me
who
me
the me at the core of me
(verse 2)
i can no longer afford to be silent
to be black and genderqueer is a holy assignment
love is always the message
authentic as my my presence
i owe it to my bloodline
i’m liberating ancestors
survival served us well but we thrive now
as i rise we all rise
so don’t you be surprised
if you find me outside
in the dead of the night
i’m getting myself right
cleansing and releasing in the midnight moonlight
so i can be our wildest dreams unfurled
i gave myself sp+ce to hear me so i could unfurl
i gave myself time to love me so i could unfurl
i gave myself back to me so i could unfurl
cause
i am the son of the sun the daughter of the water
cause of my lung they gonna try to alter
run n+gga run they never gonna stop ya
fly n+gga fly they never gonna stop ya
fly n+gga fly no weapon can prosper
they never could never could
never could see that high
that’s why they neva believed in ya
i am the sun of the most high
the mother father goddex
the qing the queen the king
the higher self within you goddex
i am the water giving life to your being
i am the core of you my dear
i am the truth that set you free
no no no no no no no no
mm mm
you have no power here no more
