"RIP" lyrics
Ama Lyrics
See, this is my parents' song
But I won't let my daddy speak
That nigga said enough
When he raised his fist to me
Screaming how much you care
Mama don't make a scene
I knew that you could kill
Didn't think it'd be me
Oh, but what's the risk for one white saviour?
Another slap on the wrist for bad behaviour?
Black fetish, she's got it! Oh, I'm in danger
Birthed two kids but somehow missed the labour
See, this is my parents' song
But since they don't wanna be
Those people any more
Just let us rest in peace
Saying "it's not the end"
Lacks the reality
That they love their demons more
Talk about loyalty
Shame the success we have is not contagious
So where did we build it from when no one raised us?
Only been two years but now we're strangers
I know having kids looked good on paper
To you
('Cause if there was love it wasn't enough)
So now who's gon' protect me when I
Hurt myself by letting you back in
('Cause if there was love it wasn't enough)
'Cause I don't forget
No, I won't forget
How you finally helped me realise
That I never needed you to exist
I won't let you win
How you gon' forget me
When I'm the one that showed you what love is
But I won't let my daddy speak
That nigga said enough
When he raised his fist to me
Screaming how much you care
Mama don't make a scene
I knew that you could kill
Didn't think it'd be me
Oh, but what's the risk for one white saviour?
Another slap on the wrist for bad behaviour?
Black fetish, she's got it! Oh, I'm in danger
Birthed two kids but somehow missed the labour
See, this is my parents' song
But since they don't wanna be
Those people any more
Just let us rest in peace
Saying "it's not the end"
Lacks the reality
That they love their demons more
Talk about loyalty
Shame the success we have is not contagious
So where did we build it from when no one raised us?
Only been two years but now we're strangers
I know having kids looked good on paper
To you
('Cause if there was love it wasn't enough)
So now who's gon' protect me when I
Hurt myself by letting you back in
('Cause if there was love it wasn't enough)
'Cause I don't forget
No, I won't forget
How you finally helped me realise
That I never needed you to exist
I won't let you win
How you gon' forget me
When I'm the one that showed you what love is
