Jamila Woods In My Name
[Verse 1]
I like to make you wash your mouth before you talk about me
Keep my name out your mouth cause you can't handle the fleek
Don't cut your tongue on my syllables
Bet you need a syllabus to teach you how my vowels sound
It's a long "i" baby, but your tongue too lazy
Needa fix your face and say your grace
Before you pray to me
[Chorus]
In my name, in my name, in my name, in my name
In my name, in my name, in my name, in my name
[Verse 2]
Somebody better come get they cousin
"Shawty, honey, sweetie," I swear that wasn't
What my momma gave me
Let me speak more slowly
[Chorus]
In my name, in my name, in my name, in my name
In my name, in my name, in my name, in my name
[Spoken: Assata's Daughters]
It is our duty to fight for our freedom
(It is our duty to fight for our freedom)
It is our duty to win
(It is our duty to win)
We must love each other and support each other
(We must love each other and support each other)
We have nothing to lose but our chains
(We have nothing to lose but our chains)
