I´ve come to know the taste of dirt The rejection upon my tongue Oh, I know my coat is black I´ve been a threat since I was young
Held down, head down Held down, head down Held down, head down Held down, head down
Turning, twisting of words Tracing my essence towards the Sun Magic in my infancy I was perfect, I was one
Held down, head down Held down, head down Held down, head down Held down, head down
I break you with my nature Mouth and volcano, one My arms screaming with branches
Womb of ocean and all Feeding upon my own flesh Eyes fire with what I´ve won Swallow you in tsunami Wild forces overrun
I kiss the gift, I kiss the stone And love the damage that´s been done A child´s blood was drawn from me My river drools communion
Held down, head down Held down, head down Held down, head down Held down, head down
My body crushes yours now I´m burning with the Sun
Swallow you in tsunami Wild forces overrun Rise up girl, rise up Speak your truth speak your truth Fear none and walk without shame Remember, no more dying
