    “Waiting For Me” Lyrics by Madame Gandhi
    “I don’t want every day to turn up to the sound of my own oppression, you feel me?”
    “We always assume our own powerlessness but never our own power.”
    “Stigma is one of the most effective forms of oppression, because it denies us the ability to talk comfortably and confidently about our own bodies.”
    When I wake up in the morning
    Hit space bar and start recording
    My mom says that she’ll adore me
    The earth is still waiting for me
    [Meera Gandhi, Kiran’s mom, chanting during a meditation]
    Waiting for me x2
    I won’t take in what they feed us
    Run away in my Adidas
    Brown girls of the world they need us
    Truth is love and love will free us
    Love will free us x2
    I’ve been livin in the wild now
    When you taste freedom you’re not tryna get tied down
    Hear it in the words I say and the way I walk
    I’m not part of their lies now
    “I don’t want our stories to be according to how oppressed we are.”
    Dim our minds with drugs and liquor
    Knowing that we’ll die off quicker
    All our people getting sicker
    Can’t afford organic stickers
    Sorrow makes their wallets thicker
    We must see the bigger picture
    Womxn who have come before us
    Mothers, sisters, non-conformists
    All the things that they’ve done for us
    The earth is still waiting for us
    If we’re strong they can’t ignore us
    The earth is still waiting for us!
    If we’re loud they can’t ignore us
    The earth is still waiting for us!
    If we’re one they can’t ignore us
    The earth is still waiting for us!
    If we’re true they can’t ignore us
    The earth is still waiting for us!
    I’ve been livin in the wild now
    When you taste freedom you’re not tryna get tied down
    See it in the way I think and the food I eat
    I’m not part of their lies now
    [St. Michael’s School for Girls students learning in the classroom, New Delhi India]

      46yo father of two here. Never heard of her. Totally not her target audience (I'm normally into prog-rock). Still sat through the entire 3:30 "ad" that is this video. I guess I just like style fusion, and pretty much any artist that goes against expectations.

    1:47 - Ooh, it's the National Geographic icon. I don't know if that was intentional, but if so, nice dig at the organization that, as educational as it was and is, has been so central in perpetuating colonial attitudes and the "exoticization" of so many cultures.

Unless it's a highly commercialised media like Bollywood which u can't escape from. They're full of talent but that alone doesn't get u to places. Kpop does a very good job in Marketing their music.
