lyrics

You’re a woman on the heels
Of the bold of the free, the believers
In world without pain and no one bringing you down

You’re the skin on the drum
You’re the rattle, the burns, the deceivers
You’re the light in the dark
When you’re standing out on your own

So my girl thicken up
I’m changing my skin to wolf tonight
Oh my girl light the light
I’m changing my skin to fire tonight
And the girl I used to be

You’re a powerful mind
You won’t bend to the blind believers
Not a woman not a man just a mind standing on your own
And if they don’t like you
They should love what you do
Standing on the edge when no one else will
Changing my skin to wolf I’ll walk with you

So my girl thicken up
I’m changing my skin to wolf tonight
Oh my girl
Light the light
I’m changing my skin to fire tonight
For the girl I used to be

So Maya Angelou
Alice walker
We will walk with you
Simone De Beauvoir
Angela Carter
We will walk with you

When the sun comes up
And the day there after
A name won’t make me bend or falter
For the girl I used to be

I’m a woman on the heels
Of the bold of the free the believers
In a world without pain and no one bringing you down
And if they don’t like you they should love what you do
Standing on the edge when no one else will
Changing my skin to wolf I’ll walk with you

So my girl thicken up
I’m changing my skin to wolf tonight
So my girl light the light
I’m changing my skin to fire tonight
For the girl I used to be
We won’t let it be.
