[Spoken Word: Lynae Vanee]
The scariest thing about being a black woman
You can't close your eyes on the scary parts
You gotta be your own candle after dark
Just a haze 'til you turn into somebody's streetlight
Having a body to defend, but a body not allowed to fight
'Cause that body is already a disciplinary infraction
A distraction
Handmade by craftsman, shipped
Unmade in horror stories
Refrain when you get hit
The colonization was always in the framing of the three little pigs
But they made the wolf dangerous and weaponized the wind
