《By Ourselves》歌词

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

[00:00:14] Oh

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

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

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

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

[00:00:43] How could they know

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:01:35] Dear missy

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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