[MNEK, Saul Williams, Mykki Blanco - Steps lyrics]
Sometimes I'm selfish and I know it
Prophet-size my life
A priestess and a poet
Had the power in my heart but didn't show it
Daddy's approval, removal
I was manic but I'm growing
Thinking bout my sister
Thinking about them kids
Thinking bout the life we want
The life we live
Light worker, way shower, yeah I try to be
My demons scheming where to go won't
Get the best of me
I shoulda never dated white men
Fetishize a win, tokenize light skin
It felt wrong
But it just might have been right when
Teaching and preparing me
Supremacy is ripe when
Subtley my G you least expect
Stay in your place the dots connect
Too aggressive is passive-aggressive
Make your bed
Settle, settle don't reach too
High eat your bread
Internalize my truth, speaking from my heart
What the brain can't do
Internalize my truth, speaking from my heart
What the brain can't do
Not sleeping, not eating, not breathing
Not even no, reason no, no reason at all
Not eating, never even not even no reason
Not sleeping, not eating, not breathing
Not even no, no reason at all
Not even, not breathing, not even no reason
The brain was never fully used
Choosing habit's over choices when
It's pick and choose
Choosing comfort over transformation
Ain't the mood
Like the caterpillar thoughts it's
Sin was the cocoon
Bright monarch of matriarchal silver moon
Caught in unaware like the careless swoon
Thought I was prepared until I met you
Thought I was prepared until I met you
There ain't no reason at all
Oh yeah, I seeing it, oh yeah
I free that, I'm breathing, I am breathing
I am breathing
Prophet-size my life
A priestess and a poet
Had the power in my heart but didn't show it
Daddy's approval, removal
I was manic but I'm growing
Thinking bout my sister
Thinking about them kids
Thinking bout the life we want
The life we live
Light worker, way shower, yeah I try to be
My demons scheming where to go won't
Get the best of me
I shoulda never dated white men
Fetishize a win, tokenize light skin
It felt wrong
But it just might have been right when
Teaching and preparing me
Supremacy is ripe when
Subtley my G you least expect
Stay in your place the dots connect
Too aggressive is passive-aggressive
Make your bed
Settle, settle don't reach too
High eat your bread
Internalize my truth, speaking from my heart
What the brain can't do
Internalize my truth, speaking from my heart
What the brain can't do
Not sleeping, not eating, not breathing
Not even no, reason no, no reason at all
Not eating, never even not even no reason
Not sleeping, not eating, not breathing
Not even no, no reason at all
Not even, not breathing, not even no reason
The brain was never fully used
Choosing habit's over choices when
It's pick and choose
Choosing comfort over transformation
Ain't the mood
Like the caterpillar thoughts it's
Sin was the cocoon
Bright monarch of matriarchal silver moon
Caught in unaware like the careless swoon
Thought I was prepared until I met you
Thought I was prepared until I met you
There ain't no reason at all
Oh yeah, I seeing it, oh yeah
I free that, I'm breathing, I am breathing
I am breathing
