lyrics

we born free
from the album
maroon militant matriarch (mxn’s mirror)
www.xspiritmental.com

yo
we don’t need no war,
we don’t need your war,
born free.
wasn’t down for long,
time to go hard,
get us free.

time so short in the fast lane
why take long you can crash pain
cut his ass off with the right brain
create to ignite flames, heat em up cook change.
i a’int trying to wait til an old age
to show my little pic’ny how to hold sage
after that, teach them how to shoot aim
we’ll be praying on the damn range.
teach them how to cook class, took baths,
spiritually i’m good ask,
try and take a look clash, you can catch a hook fast.
i was built for this shit
see my skin Black
my whole building is brick, get a grip smash.
on the block, taught me how to click clack.
zapatistas, showed me how to fall back.
mix it up with a movement a new Black,
we’re the one’s doing that, what you don’t do slack.
we don’t need no war,
we don’t need your war,
born free.
wasn’t down for long,
time to go hard,
get us free.

we don’t need no war
we don’t need your god
we’ve been free so far
wasn’t down for so long
now it’s time to go hard
and if not go home.

right here this is what we doing
make moves when there’s nothing moving
prefiguring mind computing, i’m using this mind i’m brewing.
a militant witch stewing, think then act, do it
taking it back fluid
ancestors, indigenous Black music
plan the attack student
study your maps use it
you’ll want to know, how to grow food protect you
they won’t respect you, ‘less you respect you
fuck what the rest do
so get butter for your toast let it bless you
ain’t no other way to go nothing special
so my goddess gave a militant mind
to not only see but be with what is aligned
it’s time
to ride, like your life depends on it
unlimited ends on it, spend what you can on it.

we don’t need your god,
we don’t need your war,
born free.
wasn’t down for long,
time to go hard,
get us free.

we don’t need no war
we don’t need your god
we’ve been free so far
wasn’t down for so long
now it’s time to go hard
and if not go home.
