The Fog is about reclamation, independence, and tells the story of working with male music producers. It’s about self-reliance and the bitterness we swallow.
lyrics
They don't they don't understand what I got
They watchin’ me but Ima do what I want
Freedom is when I'm without you
When the fog lifts, I'm the only one I see
Freedom is when I'm without you
when the fog lifts, I'm the only one I see
Oh I'm the only one I see
He yanks me like he can move me
Don't he think I have my own needs?
Use me up when he feels weak
Take my strength from me like a bad dream
Talks me down till I'm sitting silent
Wants me to ask before I speak
As I hold my tongue all I taste is his bitter greed
Bitter greed
Freedom is when I'm without you
Freedom is when I'm without you
When the fog lifts, I'm the only one I see
Freedom is when I'm without you
when the fog lifts, I'm the only one I see
Oh I'm the only one I see
They don't they don't understand what I got
They watchin’ me but Ima do what I want
