lyrics

I don't give a fuck if I don't fit in
Double air sign always remain free
I bring that gangsta jazz attitude
On the scene
Anaïs pour les intimes, quand je rime je frime car je prime.
J'ai délaissé la francophonie, France morte sans ses colonies, regards rivés sur moi quand j'arrive, l'ego-trip jamais à demi. Je salue mes sœurs de Sonic et mes reines devenues mères, on a donné la vie, oui on a donné la vie.
No time for doubt, no space for wack thoughts, conquer the crown that's what I'm all about, praise the KA of Astan. So I dig and I dig deep down, underground where I found my crown. Charcoal is a symbol of the hidden fire. The occult energy. The force of the sun stolen by the earth is buried within it, a reserve of heat. That's the definition of melanin. Spiritual force which illuminates and heats. Remember that if you bleach you're sinning. If you bleach your skin you're sinning !
Talking about my origins, I'm black and I'm white and I'm proud. Universality I'll always preach. Look at us we always shine like a rainbow, cause we're mixing through culture and people. U.N.I.T.Y is my credo, Universe bless our souls.
Bitches would call you Queen but then would tease your baby father. Wishing me happy Solar Return? Don't you dare calling me sister. I find myself inside that space where no one/nothing matter, except that little one, she's my little one. I'll give her my crown, she be wearing my crown.
Hey mama hey mama hey mama hey mama.
Yafama (forgive me in Bambara language)
Hey mama hey mama hey mama hey mama.
Now I understand.
