lyrics

I exist in a negative space
I am not white and neither am I a guy
I am not an object or nature or your soul
I’m just a girl waiting to go home


Born on a fluffy cloud
never had to think about what it was like
to be left out of the history books
Explorers and sugar-men,
nothing but jumped up crooks

You can play at being strange
but strange ain’t stamped on your head
Send your kids to school in a hoodie,
they won’t wind up in a body bag
They can do drugs, get arrested,
next day wind up a college grad
They can do drugs, get arrested, next day wind up at college


I’m no militant, I’m a peaceful kinda girl
I don’t aim to stake out my claim
I just wanna do my thing about the place
but I exist in a negative space


Born on a fluffy cloud
never had to think about what it was like
to be left out of the history books
Explorers and sugar-men,
nothing but plumped up crooks

You can play at being strange
but strange ain’t stamped on your head
Send your kids to school in a hoodie,
they won’t wind up in a body bag
They can do drugs, get arrested,
next day wind up a college grad
They can do drugs, get arrested, next day wind up at college


I exist in a negative space
I exist in a negative space
