Someone With My Name (feat. PsykeOftmg)

I know my pigment and my name contradict themselves And I know I can't be Black cause it's just a Fact That I don't got history like my brothers have But then I got the privilege? Man, how screwed up is that? And I don't think that's fair at all, man God is crying if you listen, He's so very hurt, man Why is that something that people commonly know Being given the feeling that they don't belong Oh why, oh why Am I so blind? Oh why , oh why Am I so quiet? Oh why, oh why Is there someone with my name Being beaten to the frame Fighting just to be treated the same? Believe it or not, but when I was 3 years young Looked at a photograph of my friends and I That was the first time I realized my melanin was different So innocent to the fact that a few years on in my life I'd be walking down a street at 2am at Notre-Dame A cop would see me, ask me how I am and that's just just grand But why'd my friend get beat in Amsterdam For walking to the shop at 2pm with empty hands? Oh why, oh why Am I so blind? Oh why , oh why Am I so quiet? Oh why, oh why Is there someone with my name Being beaten to the frame Fighting just to be treated the same? Listen don't speak Speak don't shout But when it's your time to shout You shout out loud And you scream at the top of your lungs This is wrong! Listen don't speak Speak don't shout But when it's your time to shout You shout out loud And you scream at the top of your lungs This is not what we stand for! Listen don't speak Speak don't shout But when it's your time to shout You shout out loud And you scream at the top of your lungs This is wrong! Listen don't speak Speak don't shout But when it's your time to shout You shout out loud And you scream at the top of your lungs This is not what we stand for! White, heterosexual, male identity It's disgusting how I have more of a say in this community But I'm gonna use all of my undeserved authority To speak, nae shout into this lie of a tranquility Oh why, oh why have I left it to this day? Thought it wasn't my struggle, but I got a part to play As an ally and a mate, an accomplice currently But I wanna make that change Yeah come on let's make that change yeah! Why am I so blind? Tell me what you see I've been feelin' the pressure, I'm looking for a release Looking for some peace, but I got it on my knees You don't die standing if you're crawling to your dreams Why am I so quiet when they're lying through their teeth? I only keep the people who take me for me I've been loosing sleep, this dream sold was cheap But I'm just another guy who's never heard when he speaks, Preach! Oh why, oh why Am I so blind? Oh why , oh why Am I so quiet? Oh why, oh why Is there someone with my name Being beaten to the frame Fighting just to be treated the same?
