Sampa The Great Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You realise all the time we wasting
You realise all the pain we facing
Please pour a cup Feminine libation
My gosh we racing
Please sympathise all the lives we raising
Please realise all the time
Female energy drank a couple quarters on my chorus then I caught up
Never asked for payment in the womb times 9
Now we see the blood on the streets times' trying
Feminine energy balance up the indestructible
In the vaginal heaven in thine
Heaven is mine spiritual lyrical
Mother sang sweet as taboo'rical kind
If I was astonished by the level of shame
Feminine energy energy reign
Intuition and ambition intuition strange
Intuition and ambition running through my veins
Pour up the love let the healing begin
The birds and the bees
Ain't got nothing on me
The birds and the bees
Ain't got nothing on me
Energy
Pick up the energy

Female energy one shot two shot three times sorrows
Carry all the weight of the world on your shoulders
Give a couple crowns to the women who had bore us
Taught us focus love and support us
Magical umbilical my universe is radical
Introduce the nation to embracing what is factual

In the vaginal heaven in thine
She sing a melody to pass the time
Give us her energy so she heal mine
If I was astonished by the level of shame
Feminine energy never shame again
Reign tamed brain praying
Intuition and ambition running through my veins
Pour up the love let the healing begin
