lyrics

I’m fluid in choice to try on
What I can’t afford to buy on
But at least I can let bygones
Snap their fingers and move forward alive on
Things that were once died on
Are now a source to thrive on, inspire on
like an icon, am I one?
No, not quite
First I’ll put up a fight
Let a girl be bright
Cause it’s right and worth it
Though ever so far from perfect
I’m choosing to birth and nurture it
Not plead the fifth what I’ve been gifted with
From a Pinay or a Swede,
a half-Spanish grandpa indeed
Did we meet?
No I wish so I can thank my bloodline
But i’m in Fargo with a floodline
Surrounded by Bud Lights
With the coldest winters of the globe in sight
Now what am I doing to survive?


Stay alive, keep to the north
Sway to the other side of the beaten course
Of course we won’t get bored
If we absorb what gets ignored
Stay alive, keep to the north
Sway to the other side of the beaten course
Of course we won’t get bored
If we absorb what gets ignored

Absorb what gets ignored
A new rush from feeling bored
Living’s no longer a chore
Finding beauty in oppositional scores
To link sadness to its emotional core
If wisdom can’t be limited to the surface
That’s why I seek purpose
An unfound calling in lady rapping
I’m odd looking so I must be happening
But don’t dare naysay me
I care when you play me
Blame me for not being Amy, Rachel or Katie
Blame me for not speaking plainly
It’s not like the gate can pay me
To scream out “play me”
See me for me, be me for me
What gets ignored will soon not be

Stay alive, keep to the north
Sway to the other side of the beaten course
Of course we won’t get bored
If we absorb what gets ignored
Stay alive, keep to the north
Sway to the other side of the beaten course
Of course we won’t get bored
If we absorb what gets ignored
