Beautiful Barbarian - Mona Haydar

If they're civilized,
I'd rather stay savage

We them barbarians
Beautiful and scaring them
Earth shakin rattling
Be wild out loud again
We them barbarians
Jasmine and Frankincense
Feminine invading them
Beautiful Barbarians.

Say it again
Beautiful barbarian
Say it again
Beautiful barbarian

A beast before, now, they wanna be wearin my skin
We don't let them win
We beautiful barbarians!

Rap:
Lemme think back, I remember days
On these big lips, oh they used to hate
Now the script flipped
Oh, hayy!
They gotta lipkit, Kylie J.

One hunnit, real talk, that's what I'm on
If I'm a savage, then you're a fraud
My chains off won't be long, see me glowing
Look at God.

So fresh and so eloquent, uh
I keep it humble and elegant, ah
Your beauty standard irrelevant
A revolution is so imminent
We keep it joyful and bedouin
I see my momma as evidence, ah
Nobody needs your benevolence, wha??
Feminist planet is imminent, ahh.

We them barbarians
Beautiful and scaring them
Earth shakin rattling
Be wild out loud again
We them barbarians
Jasmine and Frankincense
Feminine invading them
Beautiful Barbarians

Say it again
Beautiful barbarian
Say it again
Beautiful barbarian

A beast before,
now, they wanna be wearin my skin
We don't let them win
We beautiful barbarians

Barbarian? That's how you really feel?
Like you didn't start war over oil fields?
Opium, poppy seed.
Money moves, Cardi B.

Tried to make me hate me for my hips and nose
Now they got imposters, on a spread in Vogue
Not a single feature
That they let us own
Oh they packin' fillers
Styrofoam

Ultralight beam metaphysical, huhn?
Power no longer invisible, huhn?
Your beauty standard is cynical, oh
A revolution is so critical
Power so deep and so mystical
They say the personal is so political, oh
Women our future is winnable
We gotta be indivisible

This nose,
decolonize
This hair,
decolonize
This body,
decolonize
This mind,
decolonized.
