Mona Haydar - Barbarian

[Intro]
If they're civilized, I'd rather stay savage

[Chorus]
We them barbarians
Beautiful and scaring them
Earth-shaking, rattling
Be wild out loud again
We them barbarians
Jasmine and frankincense
Feminine invading them
Beautiful barbarians
Say it again
Beautiful barbarians!
Say it again
Beautiful barbarians!
A beast before; now?
They wanna be wearing my skin
We don't let them win
We're beautiful barbarians

[Verse 1]
Lemme think back
I remember days
On these big lips
Oh, they used to hate
Now the script flipped
Oh hayy!
They got a lipkit, Kylie J
100 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

[Pre-Chorus]
So fresh and so eloquent, uh
I keep it humble and elegant, uh
Your beauty standard irrelevant, uh
A revolution is so imminent, uh
We keep it joyful and bedouin, uh
I see my mama as evidence, uh
Nobody needs your benevolence, wha?
Feminist planet is imminent, ah!

[Chorus]
We them barbarians
Beautiful and scaring them
Earth-shaking, rattling
Be wild out loud again
We them barbarians
Jasmine and frankincense
Feminine, invading them
Beautiful barbarians
Say it again
Beautiful barbarians!
Say it again
Beautiful barbarians!
A beast before; now?
They wanna be wearing my skin
We don't let them win
We beautiful barbarians

[Verse 2]
Barbarian? That's how you really feel?
Like you didn't start war over oil fields?
Opium, poppy seeds, money moves, Cardi B
Tried to make me hate me
For my hips and nose
Now they got impostors
On a spread in Vogue
Not a single feature
That they let us own
Oh, they packing fillers
Styrofoam

[Pre-Chorus]
Ultralight beam metaphysical, uh
Power no longer invisible, huh?
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

[Chorus]
We them barbarians
Beautiful and scaring them
Earth-shaking, rattling
Be wild out loud again
We them barbarians
Jasmine and frankincense
Feminine, invading them
Beautiful barbarians
Say it again
Beautiful barbarians!
Say it again
Beautiful barbarians!
A beast before; now?
They wanna be wearing my skin
We don't let them win
We beautiful barbarians

[Outro]
This nose: DECOLONIZE
This hair: DECOLONIZE
This skin: DECOLONIZE
This body: DECOLONIZE
This mind: DECOLONIZE
