[Intro]
Yeah
We still here
They ain’t count on this
Listen
[Verse 1]
Crawl from the ash of a history they hid
Grandma kept truth in a jar and a lid
Mama passed word like a flame in her fist
Said “they tried to erase us, remember we exist”
Hand-me-down fear in a box by the stairs
Hand-me-down rage in the cut of her stare
I grew teeth in a house full of prayers
Learned to turn pain into smoke in the air (uh)
[Chorus]
We the daughters of the fallout
Turn a whisper to a war shout (war shout)
You can lock every door now
We gon’ kick every door down (door down)
We the ones that they wrote out
Now we scribble what we want now (what now?)
From the blood to the pen to the payout
We the daughters of the fallout (yeah)
[Verse 2]
I wear my scars like a last name, loud
Every bruise in my bloodline proud
They built walls, we mapped new routes
Turned every “sit quiet” to a stand on the couch (hey!)
They left rust in the pipes, we drank steel
Turn cold cuts of the past to a full meal
If they ask who I am, I say “all of them still”
Every woman that they buried now a verse I kill (ooh)
[Chorus]
We the daughters of the fallout
Turn a whisper to a war shout (war shout)
You can lock every door now
We gon’ kick every door down (door down)
We the ones that they wrote out
Now we scribble what we want now (what now?)
From the blood to the pen to the payout
We the daughters of the fallout (yeah, yeah)
