Blood Orange – By Ourselves Chords

VerseGOh
DThey took and skinned my name
EmTry to raise the feeling
CI saw right through, tried to love them
GThey threw it in your face, tell you what you're feeling
DHow could they know?
EmIt's what they read
CSo when you see her cry, you always knew
It's how we could all by ourselves
GI will show you a 26 year old woman
Dwho learned to dance until she felt pretty
EmFeminism wears a throwback jersey,
Cbamboo earrings, and a face beat for the gods
GFeminism is Missy, Lil Kim,
Dand Angie Martinez on the ?Not Tonight? track
EmFeminism says as a woman in my arena you are not my competition
CAs a woman in my arena your light doesn?t make mine any dimmer
GDear Missy:
DI did not grow up to be you
EmBut I did grow up to be me
CAnd to be in love with who this woman is
GTo be a woman playing a man?s game
DAnd not be apologetic about any of it
EmIf you ask me why representation is important
CI will tell you that on the days I don?t feel pretty
GI hear the sweet voice of Missy singing to me
DPop that pop that, jiggle that fat
EmDon?t stop, get it til your clothes get wet
CI will tell you that right now there are a million black girls
just waiting to see someone who looks like them
