Who We Be (Single Edit)

In red velvet seats, we wait for the show

I am pale, light complexion, sweet yellow.

You can mistake me for a while I'm not

Trying to pass for anything but

Longing. Belonging? I'm so full of longing you know

Like Father to Daughter

 

We go from Father to Daughter

Sister to Mother

Mother to Lover

Ooh we who be

Father to Daughter

Sister to Mother

Mother to Lover

Ooh who we be

I'm the kid with her face pressed to the window

I'm the girl in the red velvet seat at the show

Sittin' so formal and proud as it scratches my skin

Full of glitter and gold oh let me in

Like Father to Daughter

Sister to Mother

Oh Mother to Lover

ahh

We go from Father to Daughter

Sister to Mother

Mother to Lover

Ooh who we be

Father to Daughter

Sister to Mother

Mother to Lover

Ooh who we be
