"Amanda's Tale" lyrics

"Amanda's Tale"

[Amanda Henderson:]
It's a little hurtful that I can't just be confident and...
In being with one person
That I gotta look over my shoulder
Looking at these girls on Instagram and...
It's hard sometimes because, I don't have all that that they have
And the sex has become my superpower
It's like sex is where I, I'm finding my worth
You know it's, that's the one thing that I know
I can make you keep coming back to me
But at the end of the day
Even if you don't really want me, I know you gon' want that
In one way it's empowering, in another it's, it's sad
I feel moments of sadness knowing that, you know
Just me alone and who I am is not enough

Amanda Henderson, whom this song titled after and whose words are heard in it, has been friends with Juzmine Sullivan for 20 years. Henderson said after the release of the EP on the 8th of January 2021, "People kept saying no one talks about this. To see how many people connected to it… It made me feel at peace. It made me feel so much better. It made me feel like I had company."
