Sayidah - We On Lyrics

When I shut up, they thought I was weak
They thought that my silence meant I could not speak
They thought they could play with my mind and my peace
Didn't know that they fumbled their biggest blessing, and
At the times I wasn't my best
When all those around me were part of my test
When I stayed up all night, my mind wouldn't rest
When I fought my hardest to just catch my breath, I
Had to learn to just draw the line
I learned those that calmed me when I lost my mind
I learned those that looked down and just watched me climb
But just like some wine, I get better with time
So, mirror, mirror on the wall
Who is the baddest, the baddest of all
When they be down bad, then who do they call
You can spin the block once or twice, but that's all now
That's all now, don't call now
We on now, move on now
We won now, we gone now
We on now, we on
Made an oath to myself and an oath to my kids
An oath to my man that we're not settling
An oath that we'll dream big just like we were kids
Not grieving the past, it just is what it is
And another thing, humble for what
I'll humbly show you that I've been that one
I'm standing ten toes because I've paid that cost
I found all the beauty in all that I lost
So, mirror, mirror on the wall
Who is the baddest, the baddest of all
When they be down bad, then who do they call
You can spin the block once or twice, but that's all now
That's all now, we won now
Don't call now, move on now
We gone now, move on now
We on now, we on
So, mirror, mirror on the wall
Who is the baddest, the baddest of all
When they be down bad, then who do they call
You can spin the block maybe once, but that's all now
