lyrics

Get raggedy with your VIMBAS baby
get willing to unravel again
Soul scribing with your VIMBAS maybe
get ready to metabolize pain

Just calm the fuck down, calm the fuck down, calm the calm down
Just slow the fuck down, slow the fuck down, slow the fuck down

Tap deeper into racial trauma
ancestors and their legacy
Embedded in our bodies mama
brain wants to rest, fight, flee or freeze

We're not defective, not defective, not defective
You're not defective, not defective, not defective

Fists tighten, feel my gut clench, heart beats
I'm feeling way too much too soon
Get grounded in my senses slowly
touch, move and look around the room

Just rock it our now, rock it out now, rock it out now
just hum it out now, hum it out now, hum it out now

A calm steady presence is the foundation
for changing the world
a calm steady presence is the foundation
for changing the world

Soul scribing
keep vibing
just let yourself go
your body will know (repeat)
