There's a voice inside my head Saying you're not one of them And you know it So stop performing And there's a voice of conscious, and it's not my friend It keeps telling me it knows exactly who I am But that's too boring It needs adorning Cause it's too easy, hiding insecurities in the form of a color Paint another over my face And it's easy Just to say, that I am but a race But that just goes to say, that nobody quite understands this pain Finding my truth didn't happen at school I didn't know that I had my own ancestors too No I didn't, no Knowledge is power, gatekeeping coward Hiding the parts that are cruel You think that we're all too ignorant for our own good Rewrite the story, but I know what's true Is history too crude for you Considering you had your hand in the fire too But you created it, now you're pretending. Say you're forgetting Let me refresh your memory Cause I've been counting, all of your crimes against my people and I I never saw my face on TV Like it was bad to take up too much screen How times have changed I see We're all forgetting and forgiving Nobody talks of how lonely it can be Walking the road of a 1st generational, brown and bilingual queen But damn it feels good to be free Cause I always felt like an imposter But I am the daughter of my mother and father But I'm no imposter I am descendent of ancient warriors I found my voice and my power Cause I'm no imposter I'm no imposter I'm no imposter Cause I'm no imposter I'm no imposter I'm no IMPOSTER My story needs to be told I'm tired of feeling unknown In this crossroad of cultures that put me in this mold Told me what to be, how to dress, how to speak Surrounded by people who don't look like me Traded my race for obscurity For a long time I didn't associate, with the letters that roll of my tongue with such haste I didn't mean to hate the beauty in my face But I guess you could say I've repented my ways Finding the grace in the history I claim Guess you could say that I'm noble Or you could just say that I'm woke Cause I've struggled to find my identity But now I look back and I see that This whole time, I was searching for what was already inside Cause I always felt like an imposter But I am the daughter of my mother and father But I'm no imposter I am descendent of ancient warriors I found my voice and my power Cause I'm no imposter Cause I'm no imposter I'm no imposter I'm no imposter, yeah Cause I'm no imposter I am brown like the skin on my face I am born from the people that used to be called the lesser race I am no IMPOSTER, yeah I'm no imposter I'm no imposter, yeah
