La La La - The Skints

I wanna say I run the sound like I’m over it

Keep my four to the floor we are threatening

But it’s mental how your words can unravel it

They pick apart the pieces like a piquant pepper pickles it

I’m running with the signs, I’m a rebel and

Keep in line or they cry you’re not feminine

I’m the light that towards you should be running

So I’ma try to remind galdem just human

Woah, I didn’t say nothing about a woman who wanted a fair shot,

who wanted to tear up

I don’t know maybe I mean it but sometimes I feel I gotta give up

Think about that woman who wanted to stand here

Up against her peers

As if it weren’t weird

If you’re feeling bad, well I wanna warn you that «calm down»

Will be the next sound inna your delicate ears

La la la la

La la la la (la la, la la)

La la la la

La la la la

La la la la

La la la la (la la, la la)

La la la la

La la la la (la la la, la la la, la)

I heard they been talking

Now which kind of righteous path is it that you think that you’ve been walking?

Looks like snorting and extorting

I ain’t supporting or applauding

None of that energy, that’s appalling

Think I’m crawling cos I ain’t balling?

It’s the dice game of life and I’m all in

I dodge the goblins on my left

I swerve the leeches on my right hand side

Believe things can really start itching

If you don’t start checking for parasites

Am I paranoid?

Nah I’m para-nice

Trust nobody, yeah that’s some rad advice

Seeing red better stop like a traffic light

Shook up ready to pop like a can of Sprite

La la la la

La la la la (la la, la la)

La la la la

La la la la

La la la la

La la la la (la la, la la)

La la la la

La la la la (la la la, la la la, la)

I’m so sick of belittling and aggression so passive

If I go one day without being reminded of my skin and sex it’s just massive

Taking all my energy, level of my lethargy, stepping on my every moment

although I cannot be anything because «why don’t you smile, honey?»

Maybe cos I matter 30% less than a bredda from the Midwest

I won’t serve as a window from which your whole world perception does shine

I won’t protect you from your ignorance when your lack of knowledge and culture

presides

Women of colour couldn’t stand here

Up against their peers

Cause it was so weird

And if you’re feeling bad well I wanna warn you that «calm down»

will be the next sound inna your delicate ears

I guess I’m learning

What I didn’t wanna learn, learn, learn, learn, learn

I guess I’m burning

What I didn’t wanna burn, burn, burn, burn, burn

I guess I’m learning

What I didn’t wanna learn, learn, learn, learn, learn

Watch as the night becomes the light then fades to black

What I didn’t wanna learn, learn, learn, learn, learn

What I didn’t wanna

What I didn’t wanna

I gues I didn’t wanna

What I didn’t wanna learn, learn, learn, learn, learn, learn, learn, learn,

learn

I’m learning

I’m learning

I’m learning

I’m learning
