Ay-Oh, Oh-Ay, Ay-Oh, Oh-Ay Lifting each other up, knowing I belong I’m free to be me, singing the Foxy song Knowing what I want, saying what I need Started from a seed, now I’m gonna lead It’s my body, my decision; it’s my life that I am livin’ I am Foxy, I am Foxy, We are Foxy, We are Foxy You can try to tell me no, but I will only show Society it’s ok, if I dress a certain way Inner power to inspire, connect with drum to inner fire Taking over the world, empowered women, empowered girls I am Foxy, I am Foxy, We are Foxy, We are Foxy My body’s beautiful, I am proud I might be young but I’m allowed My sexuality, In my community Confident and sexy, I love myself just ‘cause I’m me I know my body, I’ve got a map, by expression we close the gap I am Foxy, I am Foxy, We are Foxy, We are Foxy Don’t panic, we got bannock! Don’t panic, we got bannock! Ay-Oh, Oh-Ay, Ay-Oh, Oh-Ay Knowing what I want, saying what I need Started from a seed, now I’m gonna lead It’s my body, my decision; it’s my life that I am livin’ I am Foxy, I am Foxy, We are Foxy, We are Foxy I am Foxy, I am Foxy, We are Foxy, We are Foxy Ay-Oh, Oh-Ay, Ay-Oh, Oh-Ay; Ay-Oh, Oh-Ay, Ay-Oh, Oh-Ay
2.	The Consent Song 03:16	lyrics	buy track
I can say yes & I can say no, We can say yes & we can say no I can change my mind at any given time If you want to make tea you got to ask me We can change our mind and so can you Your balls aren’t blue cause it’s not true At Foxy we learn our choices At Foxy we use our voices Consent is bigger than any disco stick We can choose things that we both pick I can say yes & I can say no, We can say yes & we can say no Rap: Self-validation, my own creation There’s power in my mind and there’s power in my pride We’re in a safe place my fear I can face If I can say yes then I can say no FOXY got my back when I’m feeling low Our attitude is gratitude so join the mood Together we don’t care just how we’re viewed Fostering open expression among the youth FOXY - And that’s the truth When I deny, Don’t even try, Don’t even try, to change my mind I can change my mind at any given time If you want to make tea, you got to ask me We can change our mind, and so can you Your balls aren’t blue cause it’s not true I can say yes & I can say no, They can say yes & they can say no She can say yes & she can say no, He can say yes & he can say no We can say yes & we can say no - No-no-no-no-no-no-no!
