George Riley - Herstory Lyrics

Greece then stole from Egypt
Writes a story,
Called it history
When I
Came then
Then to learn it
I was told it
Wasn't for me
So I
Looked hard
In the mirror
Trying to see me
For what it should be
She a
Goddess, not a trophy
She a womxn
With a herstory

I'm just trying to do right by me
Know thyself
Know
I'm just trying to do right by me
Know thyself know
I'm just trying to do right by me

I didn't come to fight you
But you put yourself
Against me and I tried to
Defend myself
And now you're calling me angry
Tell me why fragile
Without the background herstory
Ego need a reload

I don't need a repeat
I don't need a repeat
(I don't need a repeat)
I don't need a repeat
I don't need a repeat
(I don't think I can)
I don't need a repeat
I don't need a repeat
(I don't think I can)
I don't need a repeat
I don't need a repeat
(I don't think I can)

Its a
Big change to get over
Four hundred years a
Rollercoaster
It keep
Moving and evolving
Trying to get off
I'm still hoping
That we
Rise up
Stand united
Against the hate and
Lies incited
If i had a penny in my pocket all the times I
Had given knowledge
Know I'd
Be
A rich womxn in a cesspit
My words are empty
If you ain't open

I'm just trying to do right by me
Know thyself
Know
I'm just trying to do right by me
Know thyself know
I'm just trying to do right by me

Know thyself
Know
Know thyself
Know
Know Thyself

You best believe that what lies behind was worth hiding
Revealing I'm a queen
So I guess I know why you're fighting me

Know thyself
Know
Know thyself
Know
Know Thyself

I didn't come to fight you
But you put yourself
Against me and I tried to
Defend myself
And now you're calling me angry
Tell me why fragile
Without the background herstory
Ego need a reload

I don't need a repeat
I don't need a repeat
(I don't need a repeat)
I don't need a repeat
I don't need a repeat
(I don't think I can)
I don't need a repeat
I don't need a repeat
(I don't think I can)
I don't need a repeat
I don't need a repeat
(I don't think I can)
