(Hook) I didn't ask for this, but you didn't ask me So is this your idea of equality? Can someone help me? Can someone set me free? Can someone hear me? Do you see what I see? [Mags] Terra, Mother Gaya Call me what you want but don't set me on fire Now did you forget who made you? You twist and turn what I gave to you What you do to my roots Burn fossil fuels, ruled by the Cruelty of patriarchy Return to the matriarchy Schools won't teach you how to love me Corporations put cars above me Making bad biopics about me Spills and floods, typhoons and droughts, B You draw lines and colonize My body, but look through my eyes I weep and y'all just call it bad rain But all too soon you'll share my pain (Hook) [Sage] Roar, I'm a dinosaur Using me for fuel Y’all say gimme some more You take, you burn Don't even think twice But whatcha gonna do when my cousins run dry? Cash it in Die a little within Overlooking the planet for our next of kin Wonderin' why the air's so thin And why greed is a 7 deadly sin All for one and one for all Is lost on the people that do not crawl On dirt, on pavement Hard working For a planet others are deserting If I was alive I'd eat all of you, And spit you back out Overlooking the truth A comet didn't fall out of the sky Because it was lonely and wanted to say hi (wake up!) (Hook) [Naika] What you gonna do about poor people? No money or resources so horrible Polluted water to feed our souls Gimme some more Acid air in our ghetto holes Gimme some more Turning paper planes into shooting stars Oil burns our view from afar Shutting it down Misunderstanding all around Burned out skies, burned out Sun That’s the future I’m leaving for my son. Burned out trees, smoke some weed That’s the only plant that we know how to feed. Wild fire, used tyre That's getting us pumped but we all tired Merchandise black gold, gimme some more Proper education? Bullshit some more (Hook)

about

BTFFT is the second EP of Cote-Des-Neiges-bred girl group Strange Froots. Differing slightly in maturity from their eponymous first EP, BTFFT delves deeper into the Froots' identities (Black queer femme millennials who grew up on 90's and 00's hip hop), calling Black people to action, providing an anthem to young QTPOC, and opening up about the complex feelings of navigating interpersonal relationships with people who can't or won't acknowledge their position in a world built to suppress them. The EP, created in the context of CJLO's OnRotation Artist Residency, aims to diversify the definition of the hip hop opus.
