See she’s telepathic
Call it black girl magic
Yeah she scares the gov’meant
Deja Vu of Tubman
We go missing by the hundreds
Ain’t nobody checkin’ for us
Ain’t nobody checkin’ for us
The camera loves us
Oscar doesn’t
Ain’t nobody checkin’ for us
Ain’t nobody checkin’ for us
They want us in kitchen
Kill our sons with lynchings
We get loud about it
Oh now we’re the bitches
Look at what they did to my sisters
Last century last week
They put her body in a jar and forget her
They love how it repeats
Look at what they did to my sisters
Last century last week
They make her hate her own skin
Treat her like a sin
But what they don’t understand
(But what they don’t understand)
But what they don’t understand
(But what they don’t understand)
See what they don’t understand
See she’s telepathic
Call it black girl magic
Yeah she scares the gov’meant
Deja Vu of Tubman
And she she she she she
Don’t give up
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
She don’t give up
She don’t don’t don’t don’t don’t give up
No no no no no
She don’t give up
Rosa was a freedom fighter
And she taught us how to fight
Ella was a freedom fighter
And she taught us how to fight
Audre was a freedom fighter
And she taught us how to fight
Angela was a freedom fighter
And she taught us how to fight
Sojourner was a freedom fighter
And she taught us how to fight
Assata was a freedom fighter
And she taught us how to fight
Rosa was a freedom fighter
And she taught us how to fight
Ella was a freedom fighter
And she taught us how to fight
See she’s telepathic
Call it black girl magic
Yeah she scares the government
Deja Vu of Tubman
But what they don’t understand
But what they don’t understand
But what they don’t understand
See what they don’t understand
And she she she she she
Don’t give up
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
She don’t give up
She don’t don’t don’t don’t don’t give up
No no no no no
She don’t give up
Why this song?
This track honors freedom fighters who have walked before us while also pointing a spotlight on how black women have been and are treated. But of course, black girls and women continue to persevere and lead us in the fight towards justice. - Rachael
