Pov Piti Lyrics

Matana Roberts Pov Piti

[Grunting and Screaming (maybe in a foreign language)]

I was born a child of the moon, in the year of 1742, the second daughter...

[Second vocals on the background throught the verse, in french maybe]

...Coin coin
My master was ruler of the land, governor, he was [?] where I was born, [?] in the catholic church
The father, the son, and the hooooooly ghost
I watched my parents die of yellow fever
I cut open the womb of my dead mother to return the body still within of my brother, but yet I could not save him
Niggas are for working and not saving, niggas are for working and not saving
This tools of the earth, and the bush, and the moon
I am... coin coin
This tools of the earth, and the moon, and the bush
I was only sixteen, I was only sixteen
There will never be pictures of me

Balthazar, Balthazar, Balthazar, Balthazar...
