Текст Mona Haydar — Barbarian

If they’re civilized, I’d rather stay savage

We them barbarians
Beautiful and scaring them
Earth-shaking, rattling
Be wild out loud again
We them barbarians
Jasmine and frankincense
Feminine invading them
Beautiful barbarians
Say it again
Beautiful barbarians!
Say it again
Beautiful barbarians!
A beast before; now?
They wanna be wearing my skin
We don’t let them win
We’re beautiful barbarians

Lemme think back
I remember days
On these big lips
Oh, they used to hate
Now the script flipped
Oh hayy!
They got a lipkit, Kylie J
100 real talk, that’s what I’m on
If I’m a savage, then you’re a fraud
My chains off, won’t be long
See me glowing, look at God

So fresh and so eloquent, uh
I keep it humble and elegant, uh
Your beauty standard irrelevant, uh
A revolution is so imminent, uh
We keep it joyful and bedouin, uh
I see my mama as evidence, uh
Nobody needs your benevolence, wha?
Feminist planet is imminent, ah!

We them barbarians
Beautiful and scaring them
Earth-shaking, rattling
Be wild out loud again
We them barbarians
Jasmine and frankincense
Feminine, invading them
Beautiful barbarians
Say it again
Beautiful barbarians!
Say it again
Beautiful barbarians!
A beast before; now?
They wanna be wearing my skin
We don’t let them win
We beautiful barbarians

Barbarian? That’s how you really feel?
Like you didn’t start war over oil fields?
Opium, poppy seeds, money moves, Cardi B
Tried to make me hate me
For my hips and nose
Now they got impostors
On a spread in Vogue
Not a single feature
That they let us own
Oh, they packing fillers
Styrofoam

Ultralight beam metaphysical, uh
Power no longer invisible, huh?
Your beauty standard is cynical, oh!
A revolution is so critical
Power so deep and so mystical
They say the personal is so political, oh
Women, our future is winnable
We gotta be indivisible

We them barbarians
Beautiful and scaring them
Earth-shaking, rattling
Be wild out loud again
We them barbarians
Jasmine and frankincense
Feminine, invading them
Beautiful barbarians
Say it again
Beautiful barbarians!
Say it again
Beautiful barbarians!
A beast before; now?
They wanna be wearing my skin
We don’t let them win
We beautiful barbarians

This nose: DECOLONIZE
This hair: DECOLONIZE
This skin: DECOLONIZE
This body: DECOLONIZE
This mind: DECOLONIZE
