EARTHA

I used to be afraid of my self 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 trying to see eye to eye, but you look right over me Your bird stuck on repeat And I'm tired of you How many times do I sit and listen to you I don't know why I keep sitting and listening to you How many times do I sit and listen to you I don't know why I keep sitting and listening to you How many times do I sit and listen to you I don't know why I keep sitting and listening to you How many times do I sit and listen to you I don't know why I keep sitting and listening to you 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 coulda run a mile instead I coulda twist my hands instead I'm laid out in bed, gas lighting my head But I say what I say I don't wanna compromise Can we make it through the night? I'm trying to see eye to eye, but you look right over me Your words stuck on repeat And I'm tired of your shit Who's gonna share my love for me with me? Who's gonna share my love for me with me? Who's gonna share my love for me with me? Who's gonna share my love for me with me? Who's gonna share my love for me with me? Who's gonna share my love for me with me? Who's gonna share my love? --- Eartha - Jamila Woods
