ILUKA - Wings Lyrics

Verse 1:
I was 16 when they told me girl
Know your place this ain't your world
If you dress like that, then your asking for
And you'll go nowhere with a voice like yours
F*ck it

They said hush little girl don't make a scene
Just cross those legs forget that dream
But that ain't something I'll ever do
Who said you can't be a witch in your cowgirl boots
Suck it

Pre-chorus:
Throw down
Tall poppy when I'm scorching the ground

Chorus:
The crowd threw me out for the kill
Told me how to dress and how to feel
They held me down but I learned how to heal
Look at me now look at what I built
No Freedom without the will
Won't die for much, but I'll die on this hill
Some choose the cage coz they love the gild
My wings grew back, and there's never will

Verse 2:
Mary Magdalene had some fun
Some called her hoar some called her a nun
Was she the baddest bitch in Bethlehem
We'll never know coz her story's written by men

Saw a ballerina on a farm it made me sad
Why you locking up a girl who can dance like that
You craved the shine that she once had
So you caged the bird coz it won't fly back

Chorus:
The crowd threw me out for the kill
Told me how to dress and how to feel
They held me down but I learned how to heal
Look at me now look at what I built
No freedom without the will
Won't die for much, but I'll die on this hill
Some choose the cage coz they love the gild
My wings grew back, and there's never will

Bridge:
I live to see another day I live to write my story ohhh
I live to find my glory,
Won't let them speak no words for me
Oh and I'll be damned

Chorus:
The crowd threw me out for the kill
Told me how to dress and how to feel
They held me down but I learned how to heal
Look at me now look at what I built
No freedom without the will
Won't die for much, but I'll die on this hill
Some choose the cage coz they love the gild
My wings grew back, and there's never will"
