Testo Isolation Meshell Ndegeocello
Of freedomÂ
Not needing or wanting anythingÂ
That in your hatred you can deprive me ofÂ
As I do the timeÂ
Cleanse your sick mindÂ
As I do the timeÂ
Cleanse your sick mindÂ
Send meÂ
Shall overcomeÂ
SomedayÂ
See, uhÂ
When you are awake, I'm asleepÂ
And when you are asleep, I will awakeÂ
And I will live neither in this cellÂ
Nor in my heartÂ
Only in my headÂ
Yeah, some motherf*cker told me umÂ
I needed to stop dwelling in the pastÂ
Deafened by the dissident harmoniesÂ
Of sick white crackersÂ
And the tyranny of the self righteousÂ
As I live in my desireÂ
For emptinessÂ
HateÂ
Is all you seeÂ
And in my fear of becoming like youÂ
I gauged out my eyes, damnÂ
You know ? be worried about the manÂ
? need to worry about themselvesÂ
But all this political bullsh*tÂ
Be f*cking up my highÂ
And to you?Â
I am but the offspring of an obsolete machineÂ
But your myth of superiorityÂ
Would not existÂ
Without meÂ
Send meÂ
Shall overcomeÂ
Someday, somedayÂ
SomedayÂ
You prey on the weak to fulfill your lustÂ
And what you perceive as the kingdom of godÂ
Is no more than the word of manÂ
And his fear of deathÂ
Shall overcomeÂ
SomedayÂ
SomedayÂ
?Â
Yeah, mmmÂ
See paradiseÂ
Is the fact that I existÂ
And I existÂ
Despite youÂ
I existÂ
I existÂ
Despite youÂ
Despite youÂ
Rape my womenÂ
Beat my childrenÂ
Castrate my menÂ
Poison my food, poison my bodyÂ
Rape my womenÂ
Beat my childrenÂ
Castrate my menÂ
Poison my food, poison my bodyÂ
Rape my women beat my childrenÂ
Castrate my menÂ
Poison my food and poison my bodyÂ
Rape my womenÂ
Beat my childrenÂ
Castrate my menÂ
Poison my food and poison my body.Â
