about

This reinterpretation by musician and producer Marla Kether, switches up the soulful jazz piece into an immersive bed of late '90s grooves reminiscent of the broken beat scene, encapsulating the essence of London Jazz”.

lyrics

And you will be confused by
How I’ve used this blood fire
And offered it to the sky

This dragon to ride
To blaze my trail because
I won’t be shamed
That I’m not tongue-tied

I’ve learnt from the past
And my bloodline
To be powerful
And vulnerable
At the same time

I get it wrong but it’s always right to try
And I’m uncaged and undefined
By anything that lies outside
Of my true identity

I took her fire and made it me
I took his pain and let it be
The fuel to the fire of my liberty

And sometimes this is lonely
And I can’t explain
How I need to protect my
Energy and set the rules
For my own game
Because I’ve fought so hard to break the shame
So I can shelter others to do the same

So nothing’s going to stop me
I honour you but I can’t tame myself to be
Something you are comfortable to see
Because it will stagnate and suffocate
The sweet prize of my destiny

I honour you, but let me be
I’m the future
You just wait and see

I honour you, but let me be
I’m the future
You just wait and see
