By Ourselves Lyrics - Blood Orange

Oh 

They took and skinned my name 

Try to raise the feeling 

I saw right through, tried to love them 

They threw it in your face, tell you what you're feeling 

How could they know? 

It's what they read 

So when you see her cry, you always [?] knew 

It's how we could all by ourselves

Can You Guess The Song By The Emojis? 

HOT SONG: TWICE - 'Feel Special' - LYRICS 

NEW SONG: Miley Cyrus - 'Slide Away' - LYRICS 

I will show you a 26 year old woman who learned to dance until she felt pretty 

Feminism wears a throwback jersey, bamboo earrings, and a face beat for the gods 

Feminism is Missy, Lil Kim, and Angie Martinez on the "Not Tonight" track 

Feminism says as a woman in my arena you are not my competition 

As a woman in my arena your light doesn't make mine any dimmer 

Dear Missy: 

I did not grow up to be you 

But I did grow up to be me 

And to be in love with who this woman is 

To be a woman playing a man's game 

And not be apologetic about any of it 

If you ask me why representation is important 

I will tell you that on the days I don't feel pretty 

I hear the sweet voice of Missy singing to me 

Pop that pop that, jiggle that fat 

Don't stop, get it til your clothes get wet 

I will tell you that right now there are a million black girls just waiting to see someone who looks like them
