Imagine me Lovin' what I see when the miror look at me 'cause I I imagine me In a place With no insecurities and I'm finally happy 'cause I imagine me I used to wanna have blue eyes I used to wanna have blue eyes It's like I was livin' two lives Internalized self-hatred with racism in society is as American as apple pies Psychologically terrorized To the point where the mirror could even tell you lies I would stare at my parents and wonder why my appearance was different Used to wish I was white, would fantasize Kindergarten, labeled retarded, was traumatized The pipeline started me into homicides Tellin' me I'm a felony or I'm a disability So the natural progression for me was suicide Aspired to it at only five Either that or the bluest eye Identity clash, who am I? If I could speak to a younger me, I would rewrite my history And tell me that you're beautiful 'cause you alive Imagine me Lovin' what I see when that (I didn't wanna have blue eyes) Mirror look at me 'cause I I imagine me (I didn't didn't wanna have blue eyes In a place (I didn't didn't wanna have blue eyes) With no insecurities and I'm finally happy 'cause (I didn't wanna have blue eyes) I imagine me She always wanted to have blue eyes She always wanted to have blue eyes An oxymoron like true lies Fightin' demons inside you, use a lightening cream to hide her complexion Killin' herself from the inside She couldn't handle the sunshine Her skin developped the cancer in the enzymes What she thought was the answer, had now threatened to cancel the melanin that's protectin' her It's a thin line Deeply affected her when her husband died Her innermost insecurities got magnified African women lost to the shadow of white supremacy Where the lighter your skin would be, it'd be glorified Generations and centuries we've been victimized Started viewin' ourselves through our oppressors' eyes I wrote this verse for my auntie, I'll send these words in Ashanti I want you to know that your culture is where you're power lies Could you imagine? Could you imagine me? (Whoa, whoa) Could you imagine? Could you imagine me? (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah) Could you imagine? (Yeah, uh) could you imagine me? Could you imagine? Could you imagine? (Yeah, uh) could you imagine me?
