Over This
Rising Above Silence: Maria Uzor's Empowering Anthem, 'Over This'
Lyrics
I am so over this
I am tired or fed up with this situation.
Choose to mind my business
I choose to focus on my own affairs and not be involved in unnecessary matters.
I find it underwhelming
I perceive it as less impressive or exciting than expected.
And you so uncompelling
I don't find you interesting or attractive.
Some might call it this
Some people may describe it in one way, while others may describe it differently.
And some might call it that
There are various perspectives on the matter.
Might say it to your face
People might express their opinions directly to you or keep them hidden.
Or try and hold it back
They may voice their thoughts or try to restrain themselves.
You say that I look fierce
You claim that I appear strong and confident.
I'm all up in your face
I am confronting you directly.
When really I am calm
Despite appearances, I am actually composed and collected.
And you can't handle race
You cannot handle discussions related to race.
A very subtle thing
There is a nuanced aspect to the situation.
I've seen it all before
I have experienced similar situations in the past.
The silence is space
The absence of sound or communication creates a feeling of emptiness.
The silence is space
Reiteration of the idea that silence conveys a sense of emptiness or distance.
What you gonna do
What actions will you take?
When they look at you
When others criticize or try to undermine you.
And try to shut you down,
They attempt to silence you by labeling you as impolite or disrespectful.
Say you're being rude, and
Stating that you're not alone, encouraging you to contemplate this situation.
You're not alone, think about, think about this
Reiteration of the idea that you are not alone, emphasizing the need for reflection.
You're not alone, think about, think about this
Emphasizing that you should consider this situation.
You're the kinda soul
You possess a unique and special character.
Set to cruise control
You navigate through life effortlessly when your emotions take control.
When the mood takes hold You're a legend in your own right
When in a certain mood, you become a remarkable and admired individual.
You're not alone, think about, think about this
Reiteration of the idea that you are not alone, urging further contemplation.
You're not alone, think about, think about this
Encouraging continued reflection on the situation.
