Shungudzo - To be Me lyrics

[Chorus] I wanna walk through an alley at night without making a knife with a key Like, "Oh my God, it's safe to be me" I wanna drink 'til I'm drunk and not think about everything wrong that could be Like, "Oh my God, it's safe, it's safe to be me" [Verse 1] Off my face at a stranger's party I was asleep and he touched my body Wished I could think but my brain is foggy I did nothing wrong, why do I feel sorry? [Pre-Chorus] 'Cause they tell us that we should take care of ourselves That if we dress like this then we've asked to be felt [Chorus] I wanna walk through an alley at night without making a knife with a key Like, "Oh my God, it's safe to bе me" I wanna drink 'til I'm drunk and not think about everything wrong that could bе Like, "Oh my God, it's safe, it's safe to be" [Verse 2] Black in America, black and shopping Black on a jog in the lot apartment Black in the car on the sidewalk dancing They did nothing wrong, why are they in heaven? [Pre-Chorus] 'Cause they tell us that we're only meant for ourself That if we look like this then we've asked to be killed [Chorus] I wanna walk through an alley at night without making a knife with a key Like, "Oh my God, it's safe to be me" I wanna drink 'til I'm drunk and not think about everything wrong that could be Like, "Oh my God, it's safe, it's safe to be me" [Outro] Ooh-ooh To be me Ooh-ooh Baby, oh, oh-ooh
