BETTY

[Verse 1]
Oh, I’m different, I’m a cup of mild sauce
Sweet tongue, but don’t get me in a paper cut
I’ll fight you with my eyes, oh, when they call me shy
They just frightened of what’s in my mind
These great greats won’t let me lie
Midnight eyes wide feels like I’m at the riverside
Great greats come down, they whisper to me quiet
“I’m alive, I’m alive, I’m alive”

[Pre-Chorus]
I am not your typical girl
Throw away that picture in your head
I am not your typical girl
Work harder now, work harder

[Chorus]
Running from myself, I come undone
I wait, I try
Falling for myself
It’s taken time to know I’m mine

[Post-Chorus]
Oh, I am different, I am different
I am, I am

[Verse 2]
What is it with you independent men? It’s always something
Threatening your masculine energy, you think it’s fleeting
Nothing you ain’t give to me I can take away from you now
Let me be, I’m trying to fly, you insist on clipping my wings

[Chorus]
Running from myself, I come undone
I wait, I try
Falling for myself
It’s taken time to know I’m mine

[Outro]
Curl in the middle of my forehead, I’m bad
Take a picture if you want me quiet, I said
Sweet like the candy in Joycetta’s purse on Sunday
But I’m bitter when you try to hold me back

ZORA

[Verse 1]
Must be disconcerting how I discombob’ your mold
I’ve always been the only, every classroom, every home
Kiss of chocolate on the moon, collard greens and silver spoon
Little boxes on the hillside, little boxes you can’t stick unto me
My weaponry is my energy
I tenderly fill my enemies with white light

[Chorus]
You will never know everything, everything
I will never know everything, everything
You will never know everything, everything
And you don’t know me so you up the creek
You will never know everything, everything
I will never know everything, everything
You will never know everything, everything
And you don’t know me, couldn’t possibly

[Refrain]
Oh, oh, oh, I, oh, oh, oh, I, oh, I
Oh, oh, oh, I, oh, oh, I, oh, I
Oh, oh, oh, I, oh, oh, I, oh, I
Oh, oh, oh, I, oh, oh, I

[Verse 2]
None of us are free but some of us are brave
I dare you to shrink my wave, I’m on a new plane
I’m all out of fucks to give, yeah
Fear ain’t no way to live, yeah
Must be disconcerting how I discombob’ your mold
I’ve always been the only, you’re so unoriginal
Your words don’t leave scars, believe me, I’ve heard them all
I may be small, I may speak soft, but you can see the change in the water

[Refrain]
Oh, oh, oh, I, oh, oh, oh, I, oh, I
Oh, oh, oh, I, oh, oh, I, oh, I
Oh, oh, oh, I, oh, oh, I, oh, I
Oh, oh, oh, I, oh, oh, I

[Chorus]
You will never know everything, everything
I will never know everything, everything
You will never know everything, everything
And you don’t know me so you up the creek
You will never know everything, everything
I will never know everything, everything
You will never know everything, everything
And you don’t know me, couldn’t possibly

GIOVANNI

[Verse 1]
You might want to hold my comb
When you find out what I’m made of
You might want to follow me and copy all of my mistakes
I’m so nice, so nice
You can’t not smile when I smile
And I cry, I cry
It’s just the rain so I can grow

[Chorus]
Any minute now you get the message
Eenie meenie miney pick an apt description
I’m impressive, you can check my chart for reference
Moon-and sun-kissed, reverend blessed it
Come and listen to a quick confession
Water is to oil, me to your aggression
I’m protected
Joycetta prayed on me, mama burned sage for me
None can take that energy away from me
I’ve been up in here since grandmama was a baby, praise me
I be on my Giovanni, tea and honey
Tell it like I see it
Speak it so I be it
My ancestors watch me
Fairytale walking
Black Goldilocks, yeah
My naps just right
You got questions, I know that’s right
There must be a reason why
There must be a reason
There must be a reason why
There must be a reason

[Verse 2]
Little bitty, you wanna call me
A hundred motherfuckers can’t tell me
How I’m supposed to look when I’m angry
How I’m supposed to shrink when you’re around me
Permission denied to rearrange me
I am the Kingdom, I am not your Queen
Hotep better step from up around me
I am not your rib, I am not your Eve

[Chorus]
Any minute now you’ll get the message
Eenie meenie miney pick an apt description
I’m impressive, you can check my chart for reference
Moon and sun, guess reverend blessed it
Come on listen to a quick confession
Water is to oil, me to your aggression
I’m protected
Joycetta prayed on me, mama burned sage for me
None can take that energy away from me
I’ve been up in here since grandmama was a baby, praise me
I be on my Giovanni, tea and honey
Tell it like I see it
Speak it so I be it
My ancestors watch me
Fairytale walking
Black Goldilocks, yeah
My naps just right
You got questions, I know that’s right
There must be a reason why
There must be a reason
There must be a reason why
There must be a reason
There must be a reason why

SONIA (Ft. Nitty Scott)

[Verse 1]
Once upon a time, little girl on the grind
Met a boy, he was nice at the time
Weeks from the days, plans, they were made
Soon, you could call them an item
Funny how a title makes them think they own you
Tellin’ you how to dress and who to talk to
Fella, please, don’t nobody ask you
My great, great granny was born a slave
She found liberation before the grave
Who you tellin’ how to behave?
Ooh, I’m trying to forgive, but can’t forget

[Chorus]
It was bad, it was bad
It was bad, it was bad
It was the crying that was bad (It was the crying that was)
It was the lying that was bad (It was the lying that was)
It was the blaming that was bad (It was the blaming that was)
The self-hating that was bad (The self-hating that was)
It was the waiting that was bad (It was the waiting that was)
It was the doubting that was bad (It was the doubting that was)
It was the screaming that was bad (It was the screaming that was)
The fear of leaving that was bad (The fear of leaving that was)

[Verse 2: Nitty Scott]
Uh, uh, uh, yo
Once upon a time, I believed in lines
Like “I just wasn’t good enough for you” and other lies
Mr. “Didn’t miss the water ’til the well was dry”
Tried and I tried, compromise, compromise
It was pouring into you while emptying me
It was rationalizing all your toxicity
It was hands around my neck with us on my back
It was pressure, pain, and panic attacks
Had me faded to the wire, putting out my fire
Use to have requirements that turned into desires
Expected to retire me while keeping you inspired
All the women in me are tired
Listen, nigga
My abuela ain’t survive several trips around the sun
So I could give it to somebody’s undeserving son
This pussy don’t pop for you, booty don’t bop for you
Never owe none, belong to no one
Now I only trust patterns, not apologies
First date questions, what’s your ideologies?
Do you love yourself? Are you healing your trauma?
What’s your concept of wealth? Do you check on yo mama?
‘Cause your loyalty ain’t slavery, sis
That shit insulting to her bravery, sis
I know you tangled
But this life is no exchange for your laboring, sis
Withhold ya flavors, he unsavory, sis, sis

[Bridge]
I remember saying no to things that happened anyway
I remember feeling low the mirror took my face away
I couldn’t recognize her, I laid and cried ’til my
Tears washed the kitchen tiles, I swear I couldn’t budge
But then I talked about it ’til mama, sister, cousin
Told me they went through it and since it’s in my blood
I knew I could do it ’cause if my blood went through it
I knew I could endure it, I knew that I could heal it
Oh, I’m trying to forgive, but can’t forget

[Chorus]
It was bad, it was bad
It was bad, it was bad
It was the crying that was bad (It was the crying that was)
It was the lying that was bad (It was the lying that was)
It was the blaming that was bad (It was the blaming that was)
The self-hating that was bad (The self-hating that was)
It was the waiting that was bad (It was the waiting that was)
It was the doubting that was bad (It was the doubting that was)
It was the screaming that was bad (It was the screaming that was)
The fear of leaving that was bad (The fear of leaving that was)

FRIDA

[Refrain]
If I run, run, run, would you, you, you, come see, see, see me?
‘Cause I’m not the one to sit sit up here just waiting
If I run, run, run, would you, you, you come see, see, see me?
‘Cause I’m not the one to sit sit up here just waiting

[Verse]
I like you better when you see me less
I like me better when I’m not so stressed
We could do it like Frida, we could build a bridge then
I could come see ya, just not where I live
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not scared of lovin’ ya
Multiply my sides, I need a lot of area
A savior is not what I’m seeking
I’m god enough and you be believing
In miracles in a city so cold
You’re the holy book I can lay my hands on
You’re the holy book I can lay my hands on
You’re the holy book I can lay my hands on

[Refrain]
If I run, run, would you, you, you see, see, see me?
If I run, run, would you, you, you see, see, see me?

[Chorus]
I like you better when you see me less
I like me better when I’m not so stressed
We could do it like Frida, we could build a bridge then
I could come see ya
We could do it like Frida, I could build a bridge then
I could come see ya
We could do it like Frida, we could build a bridge then
I could come see ya
We could do it like Frida, we could build a bridge then
I could come see ya

[Outro]
If I run, run, would you, you, you see, see, see
If I run, run, would you, you, you see, see, see me?
If I run, run, would you, you, you see, see, see me?
If I run, run, would you, you, you see, see, see me?

EARTHA

[Verse 1]
I used to be afraid of myself
Hung my smile on a shelf
Hid my teeth when I laughed
Now I’m far too grown for your plot, for your palm
Will you root for me or will you leave?

[Chorus]
I don’t wanna compromise
Can we make it through the night?
I’m trying to see eye to eye
But you look right over me
Your words stuck on repeat
And I’m tired of you

[Post-Chorus]
How many times do I sit and listen to you?
I don’t know why I keep sittin’, listenin’ to you
How many times do I sit and listen to you?
I don’t know why I keep sittin’, listenin’ to you
How many times do I sit and listen to you?
I don’t know why I keep sittin’, listenin’ to you
How many times do I sit and listen to you?
I don’t know why I keep sittin’, listenin’ to you
How many times do I sit and listen to you?
I don’t know why I keep sittin’, listenin’ to you

[Verse 2]
It’s not that I’m bored
I just heard it before
The space you take up
The curve of your learning
That’s my labor, my love
Explaining myself again
I coulda run a mile instead
I coulda twist my ends instead
I’m laid out in bed
Gaslight in my head
But I said what I said

[Chorus]
I don’t wanna compromise
Can we make it through the night?
I’m trying to see eye to eye
But you look right over me
Your words stuck on repeat
And I’m tired of your shit

[Outro]
Who gonna share my love for me with me?
Who gonna share my love for me with me?
Who gonna share my love for me with me? With me? Yeah
Who gonna share my love for me with me?
Who gonna share my love for me with me?
Who gonna share my love for me with me?
Who gonna share my love?

MILES

[Verse 1]
What you call it when I’m winning?
Need to find some other words for how I spin it
Make ’em lean in when I’m speakin’
Turn my back, it make ’em mad, it’s not my business
You wanna get what you want when you want it?
Well, you should go to old country
‘Cause in the old country
You could make me tap dance, shake hands, yes ma’am
But I’m a free man now and

[Pre-Chorus]
I do
What I do
Not for you
Not for you (Not for you)

[Chorus]
I gave you the cool
I could do it in my sleep
Seven days out of the week
It’s a cake, oh, it’s a breeze
You can’t fake the cool
I could do it in my sleep
Seven days out of the week
It’s a cake, oh, it’s a breeze, hey

[Verse 2]
Don’t call me legend ’til I kick the bucket
Never could define me, so fuck it
I shed sounds like snakeskin, style like chameleon
Wanna cage me
But you can find me in the garden
Growin’ like a weed
Oh, it’s a curse, but

[Pre-Chorus]
I do
What I do
Not for you
Not for you (Not for you)

[Chorus]
I gave you the cool
I could do it in my sleep
Seven days out of the week
It’s a cake, oh, it’s a breeze
You can’t fake the cool
I could do it in my sleep
Seven days out of the week
It’s a cake, oh, it’s a breeze, hey

[Bridge]
Shut up, motherfucker
I don’t take requests
Blessed be my lovers
I’m not like the rest
I’m bad like my mother
So don’t disrespect
There’ll never be another
I’m better than your best

[Outro]
I’m better, I’m better than your best
I’m better, I’m better than your best
I’m better, I’m better than your best
I’m better than your—

MUDDY

[Verse 1]
Motherfuckers won’t shut up
We been in a war, my God
Some country shit won’t cut it
He need the blues he could plug in
Motherfuckers like him now
He give ’em something to cry about
Permission to feel again
He used to play and everybody said
Everybody said

[Chorus]
He can shake the fire out
He can shake the fire out
He can shake the fire out
He can shake the fire out
He can shake the fire out
He can shake the fire out
He can shake the fire out
He can shake the fire out

[Refrain]
Oh, you stole my name
Now you’re just a phony
You’re shootin’ for the stars
I’d rather stay muddy

[Verse 2]
They can study my fingers
They can mirror my pose
They can talk your good ear off
On what they think they know, they think they know
They say now more than ever, I think they forget
What our history is
What we do, what we made

[Chorus]
We can shake the fire out
We can shake the fire out
We can shake the fire out
We can shake the fire out
They try to shake the fire out
They can’t shake the fire out
We can shake the fire out
I bet they’ll shake the fire out

[Outro]
Like me (We can shake the fire out)
Oh, like me
Like me (We can shake the fire out)
Oh no
Like me (We can shake the fire out)
Oh, like me
Like me (They can shake the fire out)
Oh, oh, not like me
Hoo, hoo

BASQUIAT (ft. Saba)

[Verse 1: Jamila Woods]
They wanna see me angry
They wanna see me bear my teeth, yeah
I’m a stovetop, baby
I smile in your face, but the oven’s on high
(Don’t get burned)
I told you that I meant it
I’m reclusive, I sleuthed it
I already know what you’re thinkin’ ’bout me

[Pre-Chorus: Jamila Woods]
(Are you mad?) Yes, I’m mad
(What make you mad?) I don’t fuckin’ know
You should tell me so, you done done it
(Ooh-ah, ooh-ah)
(Are you mad?) Yes, I’m mad
(What make you mad?) I can’t recall
I plead the fifth, writing’s on the wall
(Ooh-ah, ooh-ah)

[Chorus: Jamila Woods]
After, after all
These teeth are not employed
You can’t police my joy, no
After, after all
My smile is not employed
You can’t police my joy, no

You can’t police my joy, no

[Verse 3: Saba]
Yeah, can’t police my
Can’t tell me when to release my (Soul)
What you looked into and didn’t find (Soul)
Brought up the same news the last time (Soul)
I was in hidin’, that was just private, that was dear diary
Why you entitled? Why are you pryin’?
Say I’m too quiet, watch how they gon’ flip it
That’s not how I meant it, but that’s how they write it
I’ma hear about it in a written column
If they gon’ misquote me, what’s the point in talkin’?
It is not promotion
Only nonsense and it’s not important
Not headlinin’, I was unimportant, I didn’t talk about it
I don’t talk about it, but that’s how I like it
I don’t go outside so much they don’t invite me
Interview or not, there’s no need for the spyin’
(Are you mad?) Yes, I’m mad
Yes, I’m Black, no I don’t elaborate
I said all that I had to say
No, you ain’t got the answers, sway
No human is an accolade
Want me dreadlocked and tatted faced
That’s the story they’ll gravitate
Stovetop, they want what I don’t got
Devil’s advocate, I saw them play both sides
That’s the line they’ll cross for exposure
Recluse, reluctant to share most times

[Chorus: Jamila Woods]
After, after all
These teeth are not employed
You can’t police my joy
After, after all
My smile is not employed
You can’t police my joy
After, after all
These teeth are not employed
You can’t police my joy
After, after all
My smile is not employed
You can’t police my joy

SUN RA (Ft. Jasminfire & theMIND)

[Verse 1, Jamila Woods]
I’m a fable, you and me
We should leave this planet to our enemies
Got a solar system in my bee-dee-bees
And my twist out shittin’ on gravity
I’m unstable, heavy star
All the crosshairs pointing up to where we are
I’m a bad one baby, I’m a warrior
Never let them shame me out of my anger
I just gotta get away from the Earth, man
This marble was doomed from the start and
I won’t be around to see it when it goes
Black girl Garvey, I’ll be on my own

[Chorus]
My wings are greater than walls
My wings are greater
My wings are greater than walls
My wings are greater
My wings are greater than walls
My wings are greater
My wings are greater than walls

[Post-Chorus]
Come with me, get this air
Our heaven could be right here
(My wings are greater)
Come with me, get this air
Our heaven could be right here
(My wings are greater than walls)

[Verse 2, theMIND]
I’m unable to shake these thoughts
Crawled to the altar, pride wouldn’t let me walk
Old news sitting on my weary heart
I should let this go, I don’t know where we’d start
Fuck yo labels, I still talk to God
Vision still clear in my broke mirror
Tell ’em stand clear of the whole damn tribe
Black boys different shades but we too damn dark for y’all
Since a little one knew I was a martian
Government trying to stop us from departing
I’m done begging for pardons, our planet’s uncharted
Wearing durags at Harvard, dissertation on Martin
Just to piss y’all off
Just to piss y’all off

[Chorus]
My wings are greater than walls
My wings are greater
My wings are greater than walls
My wings are greater
My wings are greater than walls
My wings are greater
My wings are greater than walls

[Post-Chorus]
Come with me, get this air
Our heaven could be right here
(My wings are greater)
Come with me, get this air
Our heaven could be right here
(My wings are greater than walls)
Come with me, get this air
Our heaven could be right here
(My wings are greater)
Come with me, get this air
Our heaven could be right here
(My wings are greater than walls)

My wings are greater than walls

[Verse 1]
Don’t ever let a textbook scare you
You the missing piece, OG technology, they stole you
Don’t ever let ’em knock the way you talk
The language you evolve your natural genius
Merch it

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

[Chorus]
I’m the truth, I am a fact
They lie on me, I have to laugh
I write it down, it happens next
So be it, see to it
(Their science is a-lyin’ on me and you
That don’t make it true)
I’m the truth, I am a fact
They lie on me, I have to laugh
I write it down, it happens next
So be it, see to it
(Their science is a-lyin’ on me and you
That don’t make it true)

[Post-Chorus]
(Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)

[Verse 2]
It used to be the worst crime to write a line
Our great great greats risked their lives, learned letters fireside
Like a seat on a bus, like a heel in a march
Like we holdin’ a torch, it’s our inheritance
They tease our pronunciations then try to mimic our greatness
We are a precious creation, our black has no imitation

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

[Chorus]
I’m the truth, I am a fact
They lie on me, I have to laugh
I write it down, it happens next
So be it, see to it

That don’t make it true)
I’m the truth, I am a fact
They lie on me, I have to laugh
I write it down, it happens next
So be it, see to it

That don’t make it true)

You don’t know a thing about our story, tell it wrong all the time
Don’t know a thing about our glory, wanna steal my baby’s shine

[Chorus]
All my friends
Wanna know why you ain’t figured it out just yet

Somebody’s daddy always laid out on the street
And for what?
We’re on the street
And for what?
Your precious lethal fear
Your precious lethal fear

[Verse 2]
You could change a hood just by showing your face
Condo climbing high, now the block is erased
(You don’t get it, get it)
You clutch on your purse, now you crossing the street
Brother caught your eye, now you callin’ police
(You don’t get it, get it)
It’s a casual violence in your speech and your silence
It’s unnatural science, you too comfortable lying

We don’t go out
Can’t wish us away
We been burning

And that’s okay
But ooh, yeah

I am not your typical girl
Throw away that picture in your head
I am not your typical girl
Work harder, now, work harder

[Post-Chorus]
Work, work
Work, work

[Verse 1]
Oh, I’m different, I’m a cup of mild sauce
Sweet tongue, but don’t get me in a paper cut
I’ll fight you with my eyes, oh, when they call me shy
They just frightened of what’s in my mind (Mind)
These great-greats won’t let me lie
Midnight eyes wide feels like I’m at the riverside
Great greats come down, they whisper to me quiet
“I’m alive, I’m alive, I’m alive”

[Chorus]
I am not your typical girl
Throw away that picture in your head
I am not your typical girl
Work harder, now, work harder
I am not your typical girl
(Running from myself)
Throw away that picture in your head
(I come undone)
I am not your typical girl
(Running from myself)
Work harder, now, work harder
(I come undone)

[Post-Chorus]
Work, work
Work, work

[Verse 2]
What is it with you independent men?
It’s always something
Threatening your masculine
Energy, you think it’s fleeting
Nothing you ain’t give to me
I can take away from you now
Let me be, I’m trying to fly, you
Insist on clipping my wings

[Chorus]
I am not your typical girl
(Running from myself)
Throw away that picture in your head
(I come undone)
I am not your typical girl
(Running from myself)
Work harder, now, work harder
(I come undone)
I am not your typical girl
(Running from myself)
Throw away that picture in your head
(I come undone)
I am not your typical girl
(Running from myself)
Work harder, now, work harder
(I come undone)

[Outro]
Running from myself
I come undone
I wait, I try
