Fire From the Gods Herstory song lyrics

How do you tell someone that they cannot believe in the face that they see

You try to sell, something that they cannot receive and rob their identity

She's been born right into a world, behind before she even breathes

Trying to mold her into a thing, that's the opposite of her being.

Now she's about to spend her whole life, just trying to fight what she can't achieve

'cause she thinks she has to be that, otherwise she will never succeed

Her hair's dark and her skin follows

Grown to think it's something wrong with what she's got though

Ancestry filled with Kings and Queens

Except they aren't exactly from what's seen

Okay, I'm hearing that. But what ya tellin' me?

that we can't coexist, based on our pedigree

I understand what's on your mind, that we aren't tied genetically

But that alone won't make or break our home

It's okay that we highlight our differences

cause we can't harmonize if we sing on the same pitch

Be yourself is what you must do

It don't make them right or wrong 'cause they don't align with you

And all this time it's resting in the back of her mind

Think it's sublime, two different people, two different grinds

They're not the same but she is thinking she has to change

and now she's perming her hair out and putting on bleaching cream

She think she's hexed, something that she will never get

Not understand she's beautiful in her own respects

She's confused, no clue and that is clear

'cause she can't get away from that Eurocentric atmosphere

There's never 1 aspect, 1 perspective, or cultural lens

What applies to one, may not apply to another.

Majority or minority

You're still groovy!

Be yourself and not anyone else

Okay, I'm hearing that. But what ya tellin' me?

that we can't coexist, based on our pedigree

I understand what's on your mind, that we aren't tied genetically

But that alone won't make or break our home

It's okay that we highlight our differences

cause we can't harmonize if we sing on the same pitch

Be yourself is what you must do

It don't make them right or wrong 'cause they don't align with you

Okay, I'm hearing that. But what ya tellin' me?

that we can't coexist, based on our pedigree

I understand what's on your mind, that we aren't tied genetically

But that alone won't make or break our home

It's okay that we highlight our differences

cause we can't harmonize if we sing on the same pitch

Be yourself is what you must do

It don't make them right or wrong 'cause they don't align with you
