Vidéo : Dope Saint Jude – For You

La dope serait en odeur de sainteté ? En tout cas elle veut « briser le cycle de la souffrance » et rend hommage aux femmes de sa vie qui l’ont façonnée. « I’m a soldier a fighter a beast » scande t-elle sur For you, hymne à l’empowerment et à la solidarité intergénérationelle.

Dope Saint Jude sera en concert le vendredi 1er juillet à Montreuil au festival Banlieues Bleues (gratuit).

Dope Saint Jude – For You

I go to war for you
I go to wa-r-r for you
For all the things they put you through
I go to war
I go to war

Imma let them know now that I’m here to stay
Imma sing it to your face like a cabaret
Let these words ring true let them penetrate
I don’t hesitate, do it like a renegade
If there’s good in my heart let it elevate
If there’s dark in my soul let it desecrate
Coz I love how it feels when I disobey
Shouldn’t do it but I love to do it anyway

I’m a soldier a fighter a beast
I’m ready I came here to feast
Baptised my passions increased
Ancestors behind me, my power released

Say it oh-oh-oh I feel alive
Say it oh-oh-oh I’m hypnotised
Say it oh-oh-oh I feel the rise
Take me higher
Take me higher

Say it oh-oh-oh I feel alive
Say it oh-oh-oh I’m hypnotised
Say it oh-oh-oh I feel the rise
Take me higher

I go to war for you
I go to wa-r-r for you
For all the things they put you through
I go to war
I go to war

Imma only speak the truth let it resonate
When I say it with my chest let it captivate
All the women in my line I must emulate
When I find my own voice in their spirit I can celebrate
I’ve got massive shoes to fill not to mention great
I got so much stuff to do so much on my plate
Only battle I must is to demonstrate
Never let the fight for justice ever be eclipsed by hate

I’m a soldier a fighter a beast
I’m ready I came here to feast
Baptised my passions increased
Ancestors behind me, my power released

Say it oh-oh-oh I feel alive
Say it oh-oh-oh I’m hypnotised
Say it oh-oh-oh I feel the rise
Take me higher
Take me higher

Say it oh-oh-oh I feel alive
Say it oh-oh-oh I’m hypnotised
Say it oh-oh-oh I feel the rise
Take me higher

I go to war for you
I go to wa-r-r for you
For all the things they put you through
I go to war
I go to war

I go to war for you
I go to wa-r-r for you
For all the things they put you through
I go to war
I go to war (I go)

I go to war for you (say I go)
I go to wa-r-r for you (I go to war for you)
For all the things they put you through
I go to war
I go to war

I go to war for you (I go to war for you baby)
I go to wa-r-r for you (I go to war for you, for you baby)
For all the things they put you through (all the things they put you through)
I go to war (I go to war)
I go to war

I go to war for you (say I go to war)
I go to wa-r-r for you (say I go to war)
For all the things they put you through (say I go to war)
I go to war
I go to war
