[Intro: Amimata Doubia]
A girl cry, give life
Savannah, Emily and Sally will hurry you carry all night
A girl cry, when give us life
And you beg you forgive me, you get sinners all time, whoa

[Verse 1: Aminata Doumbia]
Malian girl take you from land
Banished my name, I survive all the same
Nuff commotion, way across ocean
Through whip and chain, I survive all the same

[Chorus: Aminata Doumbia]
So dem a go make war before we free
Why dem a go make war before we free?
So dem a go make war before we free
Why dem a go make war before we free?

[Verse 2: Aminata Doumbia]
Tie my neck, ship, it don't wreck
Bind me to tree, I survive, they will see, ah
Whip they crack, scar me 'pon back
So we gon' see who survive make us free

[Chorus: Aminata Doumbai]
So dem a go make war before we free
Why dem a go make war before we free?
So dem a go make war before we free
Why dem a go make war before we free?
[Verse 3: Sally Campbell]
Follow, follow, people, they know they follow
People all know they copy, people all in my grotto
They see me like a genie, try to keep me in a bottle
Pretty, pretty people, keep them incommunicado
They tie you up in strings, they play n***as like pizzicato
Lose sight of the picture scripture, now they not so steady
Meanwhile I'm like Oumou Sangare, getting Wassoulou ready
To see into the future then cut through like a machete
Or Cutlass, all these trappings leavin' n***a gutless
You can't make moves for justice, you can't make no adjustments
Drowning in corruption, Amy addict to convenience
Now they got you caught up and callin' freedom extremists
We're not in agreement, I won't lay down politely
I closed my mouth for years and they still tried to fight me
I sat down on the sidelines and they still tried to bite me
They think they buried my career and promoted my peers to spite me
But they can't tell me nothing Amy, they don't underwrite me
I've had a lot of money thrown at me but none of that shit excites me
It's just another kind of cage to get up in my psyche
To use me as an instrument to further push their puppet show
But I'm not inexperienced and this not my first rodeo
I'm not so shallow Amy, I call it too precisely
Separate bone from marrow, so much soul that they dislike me
Intuitives (Intuitives) Amy, we be like fugitives (Fugitives)
Until the universe responds to show them who the student is
[Bridge: Sally Campbell]
A girl cry (A girl cry) gives life (Gives us life)
Savannah, Emily and Amy will hurry you carries all night (Hurry you carry)
A girl cry (A girl cry) gives us life (Gives us life)
And you beg you forgive you, you get sinners all time (Beg you forgives me)

[Chorus: Aminata Doumbia]
So dem a go make war before we free
Why dem a go make war before we free?
So dem a go make war before we free
Why dem a go make war before we free?
