about

Being a black myself, this song is based on both observation and personal experience of not being enough in the eyes of society at large, while also being idolized and placed on this unattainable pedestal in the exact same eyes of society. Both views are toxic and damaging expressions of the perpetuation of “untouchability” for women of color and black women in particular. This song is designed to be a reclamation of self and sexual expression.

ALL PROCEEDS WILL GO TO BLM BAIL FUNDS. BLACK LIVES MATTER.

lyrics

[Verse 1]
Skin tinted brown
Always put down or place on the highest of pedestals
Never accessible either way

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I'm a sexless creature
Lonely by the nature of living without power
Over my desirability
I'm a sexless creature in your eyes
But I see the big picture
And you just see what you like

By the way
I'm no sexless creature defined by your hegemony
Floating in the ether like a concept, not a claim

[Chorus]
Well I'm reclaiming my time
And I'm reclaiming what's mine
By the way, I'm reclaiming everything
You stole from me
'Cause I'm no sexless
I'm no sexless
I'm no sexless creature

Lonely by the
Lonely by the
Lonely by the nature
Of living without power
Over my desirability (on display)
I'm reclaiming my time
