Patriarchy, an inherited tradition
Where the lords rule and write the constitution
Where every boy is a gift but every girl is a vice
A lower class human being
Africans were pagans under the power of darkness< br/>So you colonized and forced taxes from them
You drilled them in scriptures, brought them into the house of God
And gave them a life of light
But God told me, you will be my prophet
Yes god told me, here's my secret
Y'all gotta make peace, I'm damn angry
Then she said to me
I'm a woman and I'm black
So much blood has flown under the bridges my friend
Since Jesus died on the cross and Moses walked home
So many wars you fought, millennia of murder
For the words of your scriptures
Crucifixion and stoning have upheld the law of God
Woe to him that sinned according to the holy tribunal
what if you misunderstood some little part
Yes what if you misunderstood
For God said to me , you shall be my prophet
Yes god told me, here is my secret
You must make peace, I am damn angry
Then she said to me
I am a woman and i'm black
I'm black
Because god told me, you'll be my prophet
Yes god told me, here's my secret
You must make peace, I'm damn angry
Then she said to me
I'm a woman, I'm gay and I'm black
