paroles de chanson To be me - Shungudzo

I wanna walk through an alley at night
Without making a knife with a key
Like, "Oh my God, it's safe to be me"
I wanna drink 'til I'm drunk
And not think about everything wrong that could be
Like, "Oh my God, it's safe, it's safe to be me"

Off my face at a stranger's party
I was asleep and he touched my body
Wished I could think but my brain is foggy
I did nothing wrong, why do I feel sorry?

'Cause they tell us that we should take care of ourselves
That if we dress like this then we've asked to be felt

I wanna walk through an alley at night
Without making a knife with a key
Like, "Oh my God, it's safe to be me"
I wanna drink 'til I'm drunk
And not think about everything wrong that could be
Like, "Oh my God, it's safe, it's safe to be-"

Black in America, black and shoppin'
Black on a jog in the lot apartment
Black in the car on the sidewalk dancin'
They did nothing wrong, why are they in heaven?

'Cause they tell us that we're only meant for ourself
That if we look like this then we've asked to be killed

I wanna walk through an alley at night
Without making a knife with a key
Like, "Oh my God, it's safe to be me"
I wanna drink 'til I'm drunk
And not think about everything wrong that could be
Like, "Oh my God, it's safe, it's safe to be me"

Ooh-ooh
To be me
Ooh-ooh
Baby, oh, oh-ooh
