Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I ain't come to beat around about the dispossession

I'm pent up with aggression bigger than you comprehension

Bloodline stretches right back to that Malley bra

And you got points but they ain't even valid cunt

I go to war everyday, my Blak is uniform

You say I'm fair skinned, I say you're too gone

I got these features from my matriarchs, they skin dark

And you ain't even know shit about it being hard

They used to beat 'em and then rape 'em and they took they kids

Go on tell me why I ain't got trauma in this life I lived

I seen my brothers get ripped by the hands of white pigs

I even went on a trip but I came back from it

Salute the matriarchy, you ain't fuckin with this

Salute to all my tiddas who is handling bizz

We ain't backing down to no patriarchal shit!

We come from strong bloodlines, we was raised equipped

[Verse 2]

Bow down

Aye bow down

Aye bow down

Aye they used to look down on me

Look who's looking up now

Bow down

Aye bow down

Aye bow down

Aye they used to look down on us

Look who's looking up now

Bow down

[Verse 3]

Tidda came to do what she came to do son

No pity for these cats, they's a nuisance

You ain't fuckin with this blackfulla movement

If you think you really is, keep it movin'

Boogie down with my mob, I keep it groovy

If you got me in a grip you gon lose me

I ain't sorry for the way that music move me

Sorry not sorry, baby I am ruthless

You wanna get something straight with me

I walked the hard road when no one was there for me

I picked myself up, I got a lot of strength in me

And that's real talk, you should be fuckin scared of me

[Verse 4]

Yeah I'm all up on my grind ain't no stopping my flow

I got that Bakaa in my bones and it's calling me home

Just wait a little bit and this tidda be gone

But I got oppressors on my plate and I got my feed on

I'll put my feet on 'em, I'll stomp on the P.M

I give a fuck about a government my people don't govern

I don't follow white law only L.O.R.E

And that's me bra, I'm Barkindjim, I love who I be

[Verse 5]

Bow down

Aye bow down

Aye bow down

Aye they used to look down on me

Look who's looking up now

Bow down

Aye bow down

Aye bow down

Aye they used to look down on us

Look who's looking up now

Bow down

[Verse 6]

My totem eagle so I'm fly as can be, aye

All for my people rep my M.O.B, aye

So when they gonna set all my people free

No justice, no peace, uh fuck the police

Bow down
