boxes
Lyrics
We have no place that we can claim without contention
We are constructing a whole new edifice of boxes to put people in
To protect a space inside which you can exist
Very concerned about giving names (giving names)
Dissatisfaction seems like the natural byproduct of identification
I truly believe that people who define you control you
And the most significant thing that any person can do
But especially black women and men
Is to think about who gave them their definitions
And rewrite those definitions for themselves
