Testo Layers - Naïka
Testo della canzone Layers (Naïka), tratta dall'album Layers (Live Acoustic) - Single
One, two
One, two, three, four, hmm
Yeah, yeah, oh, na, na
Na-na-na-na, ah
Cheri, allow me to lay the story
Knees deep and I'm in it for the glory
Just a girl tryna navigate the world
Big dreams in her hands and a complex identity
I hate the boxes, they suffocate me
Big claustrophobia, it's not simple
It's never simple, ah
Late bloom, I took some time to figure out
Who I was, felt hollow in my skin
Wings clipped early, but I did arise
Caterpillar chrysalis, boss lady fly
I roll up and rest my eyelids
Been around the world enough to say this
Everybody's trying to find where they fit
But it all comes down to this
I got layers, you got layers, we got layers
I got layers, she got layers, many flavors, ah
There's not one right way to be
More than what the eye can see
Baby, all these layers keep me warm and make me me
And when they tell me that I don't look like I'm Haitian
I say, "Gyet maren ou"
I finally found my peace, and I'm done getting sentimental
Too this, too that, not enough this, prove that
Lord knows, you get used to switching codes
Oh, tell me where you from?
Ah-ah, where you really, really from?
Citoyenne du monde, child of the world
Dans ce grand mélange, where do I belong?
Got my roots from Haiti to Madagascar
TCK, raised in Africa
French vanille avec la voix de miel
Find me mixing my ugali with poisson gros sel
I tell 'em, "I got layers you, got layers, we got layers
I got layers, he got layers, many flavors", uh
There's not one by way to be
More than what the eye can see
Baby, all these layers keep me warm and make me me
