Okay Thin line between help and harm Years short, but the seconds long I can't help that I get attached You lose things and can't get them back Thin line between help and harm Years short, but the seconds long I can't help that I get attached You lose things and can't get them back You lose Make my birth name feel like a slave name, it rolls off the tongue wrong F*ck it, just call me Decuma Told you she touched me, he laughed like You getting lucky, I wish I were you The difference is that he wishes it In fact I heard he starts bitching if he hasn't slid it in by minute sixty His ex girlfriend exclaims, he hit me You'd think she'd get where I'm coming from when no one takes you seriously But she touched me and said, if you speak up, imma scream I suppose it's just a black man thing It's a different set of laws for niggas He's giving black eyes cause of blue balls and he's free to walk Meanwhile I get in trouble when I say that I'm being stalked You made my birth name feel like a slave name, but Can't we talk I learned how to play your favorite song I hate it when you're here but I'm too young to make it on my own And I'm afraid of what will happen when you're gone So I learned your favorite song, it goes I think they love to fetishize me cause adults love to see sharp minors like Chopin Growing smokescreen, your dreams blow away and they fall flat Before he grabs the pole and puts on a percussion concierto March you to your funeral all quick like My biggest dream is to die in my sleep instead of violently And I was told I set the bar too high Just tap dancing for the crackers hoping I don't die You told me men were purely sexual creatures, I tensed up and felt I had a fever My heartbeat could shake the ether, my anger could drown a god My anger gone get me killed, you feel me It comes out as a joke, that's the only way that you hear me I felt I was a product to be consumed A jester in front of a tyrant, knowing they're fighting for life And if they stops entertaining, they know they'll by dying soon The police driving down I-95 in five, murder in the eyes, so Can't we talk I learned how to play your favorite song I hate it when you're here but I'm too young to make it on my own And I'm afraid of what will happen when you're gone So I learned your favorite song, it goes I tried to scrub until I didn't feel dirty My skin peeled Then the blood felt exalting, at least the skin heals Tell me why doesn't God love me the way that god made me Tell me, how do I love myself when you tell me god hates me Trauma turned me dualist, if I told myself I wasn't my body, I wouldn't want do what I do To It See, the blood felt exalting, and at least the skin heals So the cutting turned religion, and I worshiped it for years I thought things would be different, a talent show has a winner I've always been told I'm gifted, but this is a different mission I thought things would be different if I could just prove my worth I didn't get that I was used, and they'd just move to someone new Why is every love I'ver ever known conditional Every pain I've ever known centrifugal Every religion, physical I'm so alone with my secrets And so I shared them with this fucking stuffed tiger just so that something could hear it Can't we talk? I learned how to play your favorite song I hate that this is how it goes, but I'm too young to make it on my own And I'm afraid of what'll happen when you're gone, so I learned your favorite song It goes Nobody knows the trouble I see Glory, glory, glory, hallelujah Sometimes I'm up, sometimes I'm down
