Nina Lyrics
[Intro: Nina Simone]
I tell you what freedom means to me
No fear
I mean really, no fear
[Verse]
It's a knot
You can feel down your back
There to warn you
Sooner than could your sight
[Pre-Chorus]
Kept us tamed in youthful years
So not to jump down from a tree
Now the heart it tries to keep
So not to cry too many tears
[Chorus]
Makes me wanna
Say what you won't
Do what you fear
And I beg you don't pray for me
Don’t blame me if I say
What you won’t
Cause I believe it
When Nina told me that, Nina told me that I'm free
[Verse]
Like the roar
Of a lion in the wild
There to serve you
In the presence of harm
[Pre-Chorus]
A motive for genocide
The colour of their so-called God
You won't dare to speak your mind
For you might lose what you already don't have
[Chorus]
Makes me wanna
Say what you won't
Do what you fear
And I beg you don't pray for me
Don’t blame me if I say
What you won’t
'Cause I believe it
When Nina told me that, Nina told me that I'm free
[Bridge]
It's going and going and going and gone
It's going and going and going and gone
It's going and going and going and gone
It's going and going and going and gone
It's going and going and going and gone
It's going and going and going and gone
It's going and going and going and gone
It's going and going and going and gone
It's going and going and going and gone
It's going and going and going and gone
[Chorus]
Makes me wanna
Say what you won't
Do what you fear
And I beg you don't pray for me
Don’t blame me if I say
What you won’t
'Cause I believe it
When Nina told me that, Nina told me that I'm free

Anais spoke about Nina Simone’s influence to The Fader and said,
I wrote ‘Nina’ at a time when I felt that a lot of the music I was hearing wasn’t reflecting what was happening in the world around me, I felt that fear had become a silencing agent and that something needed to be said. Nina Simone, w...
