K Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm different, I'm open
I'm a dream, I'm real
I've got a soul that needs to heal
My origin lies in resilience, in pain
We will always remember their names
From slave ships to spaceships
I'm power, I'm hope, I'm love
I'm the forest fire my ancestors sent down to burn shit up
I'm thankful, I'm grateful
I will fight for what I'm meant for
I'm insecure, but I am determined
I'm free, I'm free
I am black, and I am free, and I am beautiful
