Kafayat Quadri - Take Aim Away from Them (feat. Dhiyanah Hassan)

Brown girl in brown family, tell me
What does it feel like, being treated like currency?
Kept, stored, be safe
Your only danger is at home
Form of flesh and blood, blood on skin
Cry to your ancestors
They can only tell you
What flammable liquids taste like
And how human bodies burn in unison with grief
Only too brief to be heard
Anywhere else in the world
Brown skin against vomit background
Can you tell? your screams
Lose their extremes, you are battling
A whole history made reality
Over and over again
These Inferno walls is where you sleep
Losing sleep to the night
To nightmares that feed at your everything

To nightmares that can't go anywhere else
To nightmares that can't go anywhere else
To nightmares that can't go anywhere else

Brown girl in brown family
In target practice
You repeat the same gestures
Take aim away from them
The more you hide yourself
The less they hit you

Brown girl in brown family
To nightmares that can't go anywhere else
Take aim away from them
