My IQ - Ani Difranco[00:00:00]
When I was four years old[00:00:35]
They tried to test my I Q [00:00:38]
They showed me a picture of 3 oranges and a pear[00:00:40]
They said which one is different [00:00:42]
It does not belong[00:00:44]
They taught me different is wrong[00:00:46]
But when I was 13 years old[00:00:48]
I woke up one morning[00:00:50]
Thighs covered in blood[00:00:53]
Like a war[00:00:54]
Like a warning[00:00:55]
That I live in a breakable takeable body[00:00:56]
An ever-increasingly valuable body[00:00:57]
That a woman had come in the night to replace me[00:00:58]
Deface me[00:01:01]
See my body is borrowed[00:01:04]
Yeah I got it on loan[00:01:05]
For the time in between my mom and some maggots[00:01:07]
I don't need anyone to hold me[00:01:09]
I can hold my own[00:01:11]
I got highways for stretchmarks[00:01:12]
See where I've grown[00:01:13]
I sing sometimes[00:01:18]
Like my life is at stake[00:01:19]
'Cause you're only as loud[00:01:21]
As the noises you make[00:01:22]
I'm learning to laugh as hard[00:01:24]
As I can listen[00:01:25]
'Cause silence[00:01:26]
Is violence[00:01:26]
In women and poor people[00:01:27]
If more people were screaming then I could relax[00:01:29]
But a good brain ain't diddley[00:01:30]
If you don't have the facts[00:01:32]
We live in a breakable takeable world[00:01:35]
An ever available possible world[00:01:36]
And we can make music[00:01:37]
Like we can make do[00:01:38]
Genius is in a back beat[00:01:41]
Backseat to nothing if you're dancing[00:01:43]
Especially something stupid[00:01:44]
Like I Q [00:01:46]
For every lie I unlearn[00:01:47]
I learn something new[00:01:49]
I sing sometimes for the war that I fight[00:01:51]
'Cause every tool is a weapon -[00:01:53]
If you hold it right[00:01:57]
