lirik lagu angry black woman – terry ellis (en vogue)
[spoken intro]
throughout the history of the united states
the construct of racism was created
specifically to oppress black people
to try to suppress our determination
to achieve iteration
like anthony davis said
it’s built into the system
[verse 1]
nowadays i can’t believe
what’s goin’ on in front of me
i don’t wanna watch tv
and find another casualty
i don’t wanna read the news
my heart’s already black and blue
i’m putting on my combat boots
’cause i got an attitude
we’re like soldiers forced to fight a war
what the h*ll?
i can’t take it anymore
’cause for so long we’ve been patient
now we’re done
don’t you even ask me when did i become
such an angry black woman
yeah
[chorus]
we’re just tryin’
to get by
tell me how, though
will we rise
or will we hide?
we’re losing young ones
hands in the air
we keep prayin’ for a miracle
’cause every day is a struggle
but as long as my brothers and my sisters are in trouble
godd*mn, i’m an abw
[spoken dialogue]
we can’t successfully put and end to racial discrimination
until we change the entire system
[verse 2]
we’ve been tryna keep the peace
50 years since martin king
some don’t like me for who i am
but i love my melanin
another future college grad
sleepin’ in a body bag
mother screaming out her lungs
she never gonna see her son
[pre*chorus]
we’re like soldiers forced to fight a war
what the h*ll?
i can’t take it anymore
’cause for so long we’ve been patient
now we’re done
and don’t you even ask me when did i become
such an angry black woman
oh, oh, oh
hey
yeah, i’m angry
[chorus]
we’re just tryin’ (and i’m p*ssed off)
to get by
tell me how long
will we rise
or we hide?
’cause we’re losing young ones
hands in the air
we keep prayin’ for a miracle
’cause every day is a struggle
but as long as my brothers and my sisters are in trouble
you d*mn right, i’m a abw
i am free!
i am free!
i am free!
i am free!
i am free!
i am free!
i am free!
i am free!
[outro]
we’re like soldiers forced to fight a war
what the h*ll?
i can’t take it anymore
’cause for so long, we’ve been patient
now we’re done
so don’t you even ask me when did i become
such an angry black woman
