EARTHA - Jamila Woods

I used to be afraid of myself

Hung my smile on a shelf

Hid my teeth when I laughed

Now I’m far too grown

For your plot, for your palm

Will you root for me

Or will you leave?

I don’t wanna compromise

Can we make it through the night

I’m tryin to see eye-to-eye

But you look right over me

Your words stuck on repeat

And I’m tired of ya

It’s not that I’m bored

I just heard it before

The space you take up

The curve of your learning

That’s my labor, my love

Explaining myself again

I could have run a mile instead

I could have twist my ends

Instead, I’m laid out in bed

Gaslight in my head, but I said

What I said

I don’t wanna compromise

Can we make it through the night

I’m tryin to see eye-to-eye

But you look right over me

Your words stuck on repeat

And I’m tired of your shit

Who gonna share

My love for me

With me?

Who gonna share

My love for me

With me?

Who gonna share

My love for me

With me?

Yeah

Who gonna share

My love for me

With me?

Who gonna share

My love for me

With me?

Who gonna share

My love for me

With me?

Who gonna share

My love
