Lyrics

Take offense to my words

Expressing that the words might be offensive but are integral to one's value.

Cause they're all part of my worth

Stating that there is power in the words and they contribute to self-worth.

Power in the way they all work

Highlighting the influence and effectiveness of the words.

Cause you're a cause for concern

Suggesting that the listener is a cause for worry or concern.

Attorney tell them that I'm worthy

Cause a women skin she's born in

Reflecting on a woman's identity and the journey of life.

It's a journey

Describing life as a journey.

Could be pushing thirty

Possibly referencing age and life experiences by pushing thirty.

Still not done doing us dirty

Expressing ongoing mistreatment and feeling unfairly treated.


Been mistreated you've been misled

Acknowledging mistreatment and misinformation.

Must have been the voices in our head

Suggesting external influences causing confusion.

Wouldn't even butter your bread

Implies neglect or indifference in a relationship.

Taking your last dying breath

Metaphorically referencing a challenging situation.

I'll sing it pretty so you'll listen in

Using a pleasant tone to gain attention for a serious message.

Sold soul is starting to cave in

Indicating internal struggles and moral compromises.

Stars barely glistening

Describing a dim or difficult situation.

Darkness be flooding in

Suggesting the prevalence of negativity or challenges.


We just want to be loved

Expressing a simple and repeated desire for love.

We just want to be loved

Now you better watch your back

You never know when you might be attacked

Highlighting the unpredictable nature of potential attacks.

Must be the men you attract

Suggesting attracting negative attention from certain individuals.

Body hijacked by this matter of fact

Describing a loss of control over one's body.

I speak with discernment

Claiming to speak with careful judgment.

This is my official attornment

Declaring an official statement of commitment or allegiance.

Cause this causes my concernment

Expressing concern due to a specific cause.

Cause I'm tired, she's sick, patience wearing thin

Conveying fatigue, illness, and diminishing patience.

Cause we can't do a thing

Feeling powerless to effect change.

Dedicated to the mascarded, shaded

Dedicated to those who hide their true selves.

Non compliant in the way that they say things

Rebelling against societal norms in communication.

Cause they'll be victim blaming, victim shaming

Criticizing the tendency to blame victims.

When its the perpetrator we should be naming

Advocating for holding perpetrators accountable.

Criminality a fallacy, this system of justice has failed me

Questioning the effectiveness and fairness of the justice system.

Locked me in the depths of my mind thrown away the key

Metaphorically expressing being confined and abandoned mentally.

What a fucked up philosophy

Criticizing a flawed philosophy or worldview.
