i don't need official numbers to know we've been fucked over and i don't owe you an apology for assuming the worst before i let you closer i'd say welcome to the party if it wasn't such a bummer to sit in a room performing open heart surgery on ourselves just to bleed out what's happened since last summer the devil never needed an advocate our fathers never learned how to fully live and us girls try real hard not to have heroes who might murder us in our beds. we've been under fire since we turned twelve or sixteen, or seven, or twenty and you dare come in here like you didn't know when it's just now that you chose to hear us yelling take a seat in the back row where the floorboards bend upwards like waves there is so much baggage and dark shit in the basement and we'll deal with it piece by piece the devil never needed an advocate our fathers never learned how to fully live and us girls try real hard not to have heroes that might murder us in our beds. better believe there's a list better believe there are tunnels in which we store boxes of evidence and whisper the truth to each other and you ask how we still have any trust left under these circumstances well, you try to grow a gut feeling that is right some of the time and then you just take chances. the devil never needed an advocate our fathers never learned how to fully live and us girls try real hard not to have heroes that might murder us in our beds.

Chorus: 2x Revelación Revelations Revelación Revelations Revelación Revelations Revelations Revelations Verse 1: Yo They label us seductress, temptress Using our bodies over minds Exploiting our lives But really we're revolutionaries Our blood spilled on this earth As sacrifice for missionaries The peaceful Taíno a race colonized and raped Mutated Indigenous, African, Spaniard hate Little did they know created a master race Filled with strength, spirit and grace They wanna build a wall Have us work this land Clean their homes Raise their kids while they dream and plan But now we're speaking in government office We're teachers, doctors, artists, mothers and fathers In touch with our roots Police don't shoot (Please don't shoot) We're not the enemy exist thrive in harmony Instead they want us down But Gods and Goddxsess They fear us They hear us (Ahhhhhhhhh) We're standing proud Chorus: 2x Verse 2: Revelación con sentimiento Porque lo siento.... Condenado en este momento, No me arrepiento Pongo a pensar en el pasado Los movimientos que fueron raro Nos enseñaron A ser sirvientes Todo es un secreto Nada es claro Y por supuesto quieren dejarnos como esclavos Nunca despierto Nos engañaron Fueron los magos Y sin encargos somos los dioses Tamo en cargo Nuestro futuro lo tenemo en mano Somos divinos femeninas No me importa lo que opinan Traemos la disciplina Viviendo en harmonía Estrellas y las plantas naturalezas poesías Fíjate el daño que hacen los policías Políticos pastores robándonos to’ los días Haciéndonos pensar que es favores bien sorprendida Creemos en ladrones historia repetida Chorus: 2x Verse 3: Third eye’s wide shut Everything’s looking indigo Text books lying Where’s the story about them Indios? Funny what’s been rewritten to benefit an agendas Pretend-ta state the facts when you’re giving them lectures Let’s enter The truth in fact let’s bring it front and center So there’s no second guessing Next generation fend for Becoming professors, astronauts, and even inventors Generational wealth Hand it down become investors The truth we gotta protect it We’re all effected The shift is turning, man is sharper, next is coexistence The kids are smarter Teach them not to harbor fear and hate How to meditate Look within for answers, how to acclimate Previously they tried to divide us and segregate History is bound to repeat if we sit and wait Classism is racism now, they manipulate Through the image on TV save the human race (Save us)

And you can find your way out In the bright lights The zone of feeling like you know But it don’t feel right You go down wrong way street In the city night And climb inside your mind Be free in no time Flying You try to smile Winding down so long Crying You open wide Clap your hands so strong Chorus: Inside your time is overloaded how you see you in the mirror, flower Roses golden in the fire Crying out now you stand up right now How you be you in the mirror, flower Roses golden in the fire Unzip the puzzle in the middle Of the skyline And flex your conscience two times Then sign the dotted line Remember where you are Show up and show out What comes from your mouth in the silence Rains down from the cloud Finding You see out loud Mirror closing in Rewinding You move the ground And see you now 4x: And see you now How you be you now Chorus: Inside your time is overloaded how you see you in the mirror, flower Roses golden in the fire Crying out now you stand up right now How you be you in the mirror, flower Roses golden in the fire

about

This digital BENEFIT compilation was put together in hopes to raise awareness for our Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls and 2 Spirit People.
We thought that it would be super significant to have this project consist of an all-female cast of talented artists.
ALL proceeds will be donated to sovereign-bodies.org 100%
