lirik lagu bob the drag queen - now i see
[intro]
hey, we gon find out how to get free today
you coming with me?
let me tell you a story
listen, yeah!
[verse 1]
she was standing in a doorway, her sweat like rain
the epiphany of her daughter helped her mask her pain
she was a woman at her wits’ end, she had finally awoken
my momma might’ve been bent, but she could never be broken
she had a dance with a devil, and momma got the upper hand
and finally, it’s something i could truly understand
see the plans to intimidate had backfired
and i don’t think they even understand what transpired
they were demons from the white man’s empire
but momma had her fist wrapped up in that barbed wire
eliminated all the ghouls and the vampires
cause she was just so sick and tired of being sick and tired
i had a revelation (uh huh)
that no intimidation (okay)
could overpower or devour any divination
yeah, i ain’t headed to the poplar tree
yeah, i once was blind, but now i see
[chorus]
now i see
this ain’t the life i’m supposed to be living
despite the hand i was given
this ain’t the grave that i’m digging
prophecy
that i could reach beyond what i can see
and i deserve to be free
and i believe it’s up to me
come with me
and even if you were born a slave
it wasn’t written in the stars
to have an early grave
til we’re free
i got to leave it all behind me
if i want to be me
i had a vision of just who i could be
and now i see
[verse 2]
you see, i really had to change the way i think
i had to change the way i am
look at my life and re~exam
i’m not your property
i’m not a piece of land
i’m asking god to have his way with me so i can understand
so change me, god!
please tell me, can you fix me?
show me what i got to do to get up out the dixie
please god, hurry up and get me out here quickly
i don’t want to wait until i’m 45 or 50
they strip us of our dignity and put us up for auction
branded livestock, but there’s a better option
amazing grace, how sweet the sound
ain’t no way that this plantation is my burial ground
you see i once was lost, but now i’m found
i got to put a plan in motion, i ain’t f~cking around
because i once was bound, but now i’m free
lifted the veil of my oppression and now i see
[chorus]
now i see
this ain’t the life i’m supposed to be living
despite the hand i was given
this ain’t the grave that i’m digging
prophecy
that i could reach beyond what i can see
and i deserve to be free
and i believe it’s up to me
come with me
and even if you were born a slave
it wasn’t written in the stars
to have an early grave
til we’re free
i got to leave it all behind me
if i want to be me
i had a vision of just who i could be
and now i see
[bridge]
if i should walk the road ahead
i’m free before i’m gone and dead
the words i cried, the tears i shed
are worth it because now i can see
if i should walk the road ahead
i’m free before i’m gone and dead
the words i cried, the tears i shed
are worth it because now i can see
freedom! ooh freedom! ooh freedom!
freedom! ooh freedom over me
freedom!
and before i’ll be a slave
i’ll be buried in my grave
freedom!
and go home to my lord and be free
ooh freedom! ooh freedom!
