It's overwhelming me, the static in the trees
The sun is burning me, there is no cooling breeze
We don't belong to ourselves, at the mercy of the cats

We belong to places, to places
Strong and brave courageous, our tiger faces

I crouch down low and freeze, the leaves are shuffling
Lips curl away from teeth, she has been prowling me
We don't belong to ourselves, they've been planning their attack

We belong to what we come from, leaving home will be a struggle
Wearing masks and beating war drums
Won't equip us for these jungles
