ZORA - Jamila Woods

Must be disconcerting how I discombob the mold

I’ve always been the only, every classroom, every home

Kiss of chocolate on the moon, collard greens and silver spoon

Little boxes on the hillside, little boxes you can’t stick unto me

My weaponry

is my energy

I tenderly

fill my enemies

with white light

You will never know everything, everything

I will never know everything, everything

You will never know everything, everything

And you don’t know me, so you up the creek

You will never know everything, everything

I will never know everything, everything

You will never know everything, everything

And you don’t know me, couldn’t possibly

Oh, oh, oh I, oh, oh, oh I, oh I

Oh, oh, oh I, oh, oh I, oh I

Oh, oh, oh I, oh, oh, I, oh I

Oh, oh, oh I, oh, oh I

None of us are free but some of us are brave

I dare you to shrink my wave

I’m on a new plane, I’m all outta fucks to give, yeah

Fear ain’t no way to live, yeah

Must be disconcerting how I discombob the mold

I’ve always been the only, you’re so unoriginal

Your words don’t leave scars, believe me I’ve heard them all

I may be small, I may speak soft, but you can see the change in the water

Oh, oh, oh I, oh, oh, oh I, oh I

Oh, oh, oh I, oh, oh I, oh I

Oh, oh, oh I, oh, oh, I, oh I

Oh, oh, oh I, oh, oh I

You will never know everything, everything

I will never know everything, everything

You will never know everything, everything

And you don’t know me, so you up the creek

You will never know everything, everything

I will never know everything, everything

You will never know everything, everything

And you don’t know me, couldn’t possibly
