Lyrics
No more shy love on the screen
No more reserved love in the media
If you wanna question it
If you have doubts, feel free to inquire
Come see me
Visit me for clarification
If you want a lesson then
If you desire instruction, come to me
Come see me
I am the living proof, so come see me
I’m the living testament
Having traveled extensively, I testify
so come see me
Visit me for confirmation
I’ve been across Continents
I have journeyed across continents
Travelled all the seas
Explored all the seas
Searching for a symbol that’s familiar to me
Seeking a symbol familiar to me
Feeling like I can’t read out here
Feeling lost and unable to express myself
Can’t speak
Speechless in the current situation
I wanna go home, but what does that mean
Desire to return home, questioning its meaning
[oh I’m tearing down their borders
Tearing down established boundaries
look I’m swimming in their waters
Swimming in challenging situations
look what you did for your daughters
Highlighting achievements for future generations
brown bread, buttered and gorgeous] x2
Celebrating resilience, beauty, and strength
Wake up in the morning
Waking up at the start of the day
Brush my teeth
Engaging in morning routine
Looking in the mirror like
Reflecting on self-identity in the mirror
Oh, is that me?
Questioning one's own appearance
Got to cover up
Necessity to conceal and dress modestly
Dress discreet
Being discreet to avoid repercussions
Otherwise my papa gon’
Concern about parental disapproval
Come see me
Invoking the presence of authority
Buddha in the bathroom
Symbolic reference to spiritual contemplation
Vishnu on your sleeve
Mention of deities representing diverse beliefs
but You couldn’t walk a mile in this skin that I keep
Challenging others to understand one's experiences
it took a little time, for me to find peace,
Overcoming struggles to find inner peace
flint to the fire and all that’s in between
Symbolic journey from adversity to strength
