Lyrics

When Will I Learn

[Chorus: Ibeyi]

When will I learn?

When will I learn?

[Verse 1: Naomi Diaz]

I can't crack your insides

Can't see in your mind

[Refrain: Naomi Diaz]

But I can play on the drums

I beat on the toms

[Chorus: Ibeyi]

When will I learn?

When will I learn?

[Verse 2: Naomi Diaz]

I can't climb on tall trees

I don't bend like the reeds

[Refrain: Naomi Diaz]

But I can play on the drums

I beat on the toms

[Chorus: Ibeyi]

When will I learn?

When will I learn?

[Verse 3: Naomi Diaz]

I can't fulfil your dreams

In the sap that you need

[Refrain: Naomi Diaz]

But I can play on the drums

I beat on the toms

[Refrain: Naomi Diaz]

I can play on the drums

I beat on the toms

I can play on the drums
