By Ourselves - Blood Orange (Devonté "Dev" Hynes)[00:00:00]

Oh[00:00:14]

They took and skinned my name[00:00:15]

Try to raise the feeling[00:00:20]

I saw right through tried to love them[00:00:24]

They threw it in your face tell you what you're feeling[00:00:35]

How could they know[00:00:43]

It's what they read[00:00:48]

So when you see her cry you always knew[00:00:54]

It's how we could all by ourselves[00:01:02]

I will show you a 26 year old woman[00:01:12]

Who learned to dance until she felt pretty[00:01:14]

Feminism wears a throwback jersey bamboo earrings and a face beat for the gods[00:01:17]

Feminism is missy lil kim and angie martinez on the not tonight track[00:01:22]

Feminism says as a woman in my arena you are not my competition[00:01:27]

As a woman in my arena your light doesn't make mine any dimmer[00:01:31]

Dear missy[00:01:35]

I did not grow up to be you[00:01:36]

But I did grow up to be me[00:01:38]

And to be in love with who this woman is[00:01:39]

To be a woman playing a man's game[00:01:42]

And not be apologetic about any of it[00:01:44]

If you ask me why representation is important[00:01:47]

I will tell you that on the days I don't feel pretty[00:01:49]

I hear the sweet voice of missy singing to me[00:01:52]

Pop that pop that jiggle that fat[00:01:54]

Don't stop get it til your clothes get wet[00:01:56]

I will tell you that right now[00:01:58]

There are a million black girls just waiting to see someone who looks like them[00:02:00]
