Oh my body is not my home No, my body is not my home ‘Cause it ain’t loving me, as far as I can tell It’s weakened flesh, it don’t treat me well It’s not home for my soul Oh oh oh Home Home Home ain’t where I’ve come from It’s muddy at the bottom, where my soul’s gone Oh no oh, oh no oh Well I don’t like my body, it don’t treat me well This ain’t not home for my soul, it’s a living hell In fact, my soul has been wandering, looking for a new place to go I can feel it sinking to the earth to the worms and the bones Home Home Home ain’t where I’ve come from It’s muddy at the bottom, where my soul’s gone Oh no oh, oh no oh Yeah see this body’s a burden, it keeps me down And the doctors are certain, there’s no cure to be found So maybe I’ll give this body back to the sea Cause all that it’s good for is misery Chorus Home Home Home ain’t where I’ve come from It’s muddy at the bottom, where my soul’s gone Oh no oh, oh no oh But see there’s just one problem that I know If I leave this body, where will my soul go? Cause without my soul, what am truly I worth I’m just another barren woman giving up to the earth Home Home Home ain’t where I’ve come from It’s muddy at the bottom, where my soul’s gone Oh no oh, oh no oh Home ain’t where I’ve come from It’s muddy at the bottom, where my soul’s gone Oh no oh, oh no

I don't know where you've been But I've been in the thick of things No, I don't know where you been But I've been in the thick of things Feeling my feelings I'll just lie here crying and bleeding Crying and bleeding Feels like a bullet tore me up And now I can't feel no love A silver bullet came and ate me up And now I can't feel your love Feeling my feelings I'll just lie here crying and bleeding Crying and bleeding There's so much pain There's so much pain There's so much pain There's so much pain There's so much pain There's so much pain There's so much pain There's so much Pain Pain Pain Pain Pain I don't know where you've been But I've been through the thick of things I don't know where the hell you been But I've been in the thick of things Feeling my feelings I'll just lie here crying and bleeding Crying and bleeding

Commune 04:16
Something in me changed I wake up everyday Drawn to the light, I give thanks I don’t know about this “God” But something I feel that is strong I pray daily sometimes just to myself Or is it to you? Is it to you? Is it to you? I decided it doesn’t matter Through all the noise and all the chatter If anyone else is listening But is it you? Or somebody different? Is it you? Or somebody different? Did I commune? Did I come through? Did I commune? Is it you? Now I don’t have no faith or bible I’m living just for survival But I feel a presence with me in this room Now could it be you? Could it be you? Could it be you? You

Strange weather’s been creeping in Suddenly the sky’s darkening Casting shadows on 7th in Brooklyn You don’t know why Clouds overtake the sunset Dry places all turn to wet Where there was desert Now it’s a mud pit And there was a tornado in Springfield, just by your house All of a sudden the wind thrashed you around Strange weather comes, but it don't go Boston’s drowning in 9 feet of snow Lightning strikes and then the power goes And you don't know why Heavy water falling down, down, down Yet California’s still in drought Trees smoking up But you still have doubt There was a tornado in Springfield, just by your house All of a sudden the wind thrashed you around There was a tornado in Springfield, just by your house All of a sudden the wind thrashed you around Strange weather’s been creeping in

Americana 05:29
My mother, she created me White mother, passed down her genes And my Black daddy, he got in there too So somebody tell me, what am I to you? Oh what am I to you? What am I to you? What am I to you? What am I to you? White fingers tangled in my natural hair Chemicals burned me, but I was brave I didn't care Tried to teach me knowledge, but I saw to the truth When you showed me judgement corrupting my youth What am I to you? Tell me, what am I to you? What am I to you? What am I to you? Catcalling as I walk down the street Brasília Nation has a place for me Cause "Americana" doesn't seem to fit Lost all my identification America you buried it, you buried it, you buried it Oh, what am I to you? What am I to you? What am I to you? Tell me, what am I to you? What am I to you? What am I to you? What am I to you? What am I to you?
