about

This is a song of empowerment. It is about finding ourselves as warriors of love and rage in our lives.

lyrics

Slingshot

I gotta slingshot, catapult myself
I gotta slingshot, catch up to me
After so long, it felt comfortable
Stand at the mirror, she’s looking at me.

You lie and cheat and steal the light
Man child you just wanna fight
I feed the children everyday
Why can’t you just go away!
Your violent, poisoned mind is yours

Everyone has closed their doors
You have no power in this space
Your sorry ass has been replaced!

I got it, it got it, I got it, I got it
At last, I got it, get myself out
We got it, we call it, we own it, we sort it
At last, we got it, get ourselves out.

I don’t know where anything is
Coz I don’t know, where I am
Reclaim who I am
Reclaim my power
Put that shit together myself

Go tell your lies and random shit
You’re falling down an endless pit
I won’t take your abuse no more
Your temper’s such a fucking bore!

Got no time for all your threats
Right back at ya’s what you get
Don’t mess with me I’m Mama Bear
You’re fake, you’re phony, I DON’T CARE!

I got it, it got it, I got it, I got it
At last, I got it, get myself out
We got it, we call it, we own it, we sort it
At last, we got it, get ourselves out.

I’m a warrior, she’s a warrior
We’re warriors of loving rage
So much love, feet on the earth
We’re a force, reckon with us!

Just stay the hell away from me
Look in the mirror, then you’ll see
A poisoned, crooked soul inside
I’m jumping off this train wreck ride

Patriarch, misogyny
I never was your property
Narcissistic little Peter Pan
Watch and learn, cause YES I CAN!

The pain, pain, pain, pain, pain, pain
Get myself out
We got it, we call it, we own it, we sort it
At last, we got it, get ourselves out.

Witnessed so much
place they wanna give us
But our place, not theirs to give
Just coz we carry it, it’s still heavy
Gotta slingshot, catch up to me

Too strong for you, now go away
Don’t return another day
You’re not a Man, and well all know
Your time is up, now off you go

Alive, fulfilled and free at last
Sex, love, magic, such a blast
The future’s here with open arms
New life, new love, that does no harm

I got it, it got it, I got it, I got it
At last, I got it, get myself out
We got it, we call it, we own it, we sort it
At last, we got it, get ourselves out.
