Hold me like back in the day
Keeping me close, knowing my ways
Born in a cell of fear and hate
And the last time that we felt safe
Surrounded by screens, roaring clicks, and signs
By these machines, peddling their lies
Keeping me cold, keeping me afraid
Telling me what to wear, how to behave
And I don't know how to work it
I don't know how to work it yet
Don't spout that shit from the right 'cause I am from the left
Stealing our honesty, poisoning our health
Selling out my childhood years for what I believe
I’ve given up my motherhood for who I want to be
And I don't know how to work it
I don't know how to work it yet
I don’t know how to work it
But I don’t think they don't want me to know
Give it to me
They don't want you to know
How to work it
