lyrics

Hot body hot blood hot soul
Aren’t you tired of being told?
How to dress how to act how to feel
Let’s break it down and keep it real

We are who we came to be
To live out our fantasies
Won’t stop ’til we’re all free
If you feel it sing with me

Sway swish slay don’t let them fool ya
We make the traffic stop
Sway swish slay don’t let them rule ya
We got the block on lock

It’s time we had our day
There’s nothing more to say
Sway swish slay

Too thin, too thick, too tall
Aren’t you tired of it all?
How to eat how to think how to be
Living other peoples’ dreams

We are who we came to be
To live out our destinies,
Won’t stop ‘til we’re all free
If you feel it sing with me

Sway swish slay don’t let them fool ya
We make the traffic stop
Sway swish slay don’t let them rule ya
We got the block on lock

It’s time we had our day
There’s nothing more to say
Sway swish slay

Don’t we know that we’re powerful and oh so beautiful
And more, much more, more than we know

Sway swish slay don’t let them fool ya
We make the traffic stop
Sway swish slay don’t let them rule ya
We got the block on lock

It’s time we had our day
There’s nothing more to say
Sway swish slay

It’s time we had our day
There’s nothing more to say
Sway swish slay

Sway swish slay
Sway swish slay
Sway swish slay
