Girls from Midnight Movie by Shunaji

Was I born in the wrong time? Never mind.
Can a system redefine me? I close my eyes.
I see people around me, open their eyes
And pick the apple from the tree, logically
I’m the devil in disguise.
Marquees, people living wealthy,
Paradise and the ice is never melting,
And the glass is never empty
Meanwhile, on the other side
Black boys profiled, police gone wild,
Racially hostile is the world,
Never chill no chill for a girl.
I suppose all my sisters already know,
I suppose all my sisters already know,
I already know, you already know, we...

We came into this world
With a curse inside our purse,
Wade in the water, girls...
Wade in the water, girls...

We came into this world
With a curse inside our purse,
Wade in the water, girls...
Wade in the water, girls...

I'm a feminine miracle, deal with it,
No, I'm not cynical
I live with spiritual senses transmitted through space,
Embracing my fate, I don't wanna escape,
I'm not done with them yet.
But it's late now, yes it's late for another debate,
I'm the candidate candid with grace,
I'm a graduate orbiting space,
As I master my craft keeping up with the pace.
And the labels, the names, the reviews are so lame,
While my memory traces that second base shit,
On the basis that nothing turns out as it seems,
And I speak with my tongue 'cause these lips I can't trust.
You got cigarette breath but the perfume is musk
And I'm a literate poet.

We came into this world
With a curse inside our purse,
Wade in the water, girls...
Wade in the water, girls...

We came into this world
With a curse inside our purse,
Wade in the water, girls...
Wade in the water, girls...

Illustrate your arguments with grace
Enemies can’t keep the pace, irate
They raid us, all my girls are intricate
Ghana braids and the cocoa butter fragrance
Two shades afraid cause they made us,
But one day I will be the great,
Never need to complain, keep my head in the game,
I'll be winning again, and again, and again, and again...

We came into this world
With a curse inside our purse,
Wade in the water, girls...
Wade in the water, girls...

We came into this world
With a curse inside our purse,
Wade in the water, girls...
Wade in the water, girls...
