Hoo boy, this is a song I've wanted to write for a LONG time!
Cat's outta the bag, the past few tracks I released were all building up to this and I wanted to compile them into a tribute album I've had on my mind for a while now.
It's been a while since I did music properly so I wanted to hit the ground running with a full EP and test the waters, so hopefully this will pave the way to more fandom music in the VERY near future, this time not tied down by the shackles of any one particular fandom ;)
Thank you for listening after all these years, thanks for sticking by and supporting me, and above everything, welcome to the sisterhood.

LYRICS:

(VERSE 1)
I'm not confused,
I'm just tired of being told what I should be,
'Cause we're not the same,
There's just some things that I wish that you could see,

'Cause when i'm listening to Icon For Hire, I feel my desire,
Fighting against who I am, I feel like a liar,
I'm sick of always being told that I can't,
'Cause how does this all make me less of a man?

(VERSE 2)
I hate the way you say I've gotta be stronger,
I don't relate to all your fantasies,
But when I see Gwen Stacy swingin' higher and higher,
And Ciri slaying monsters then I start to see, now look,

I'm who I am 'cause of the women who made me,
I know I'm worth more than this fake masculinity,
What truly matters are the lessons I've learned
And the respect my heroes taught me to earn,

(CHORUS)
I wanna be strong like Catra, brave like Adora,
Making crowds go wild like my homegirl Mina,
Confident in me to make my feelings heard loud, make Lapis Lazuli proud,
Welcome to the sisterhood, feels just like it always should,
Cast aside what you've been told all your life,
Feels just like it always should, welcome to the sisterhood

(VERSE 3)
Down with this fear of living up to your expectations,
Down with the constant lip service from society,
Ahsoka taught me to forget my reservations,
And everyone dictating my identity

I heard the same thing said a thousand times already,
Policing me to heal your massive insecurities,
I’m tired of hiding myself, or tryin'a teach you,
That all the words I'm singing are true,

(CHORUS)

(BREAK)
To those still stuck in their old ways, it's not too late,
This is an invitation to celebrate our unsung heroes,
I understand, I know your pain, I know your pain,
It's not your fault you feel this, I've felt it too, my battle scars show,
We are growing up, accepting all our flaws,
To all those lending patience,
This one's for you

(SOLO)

(CHORUS)
