I'm sick of seeing black boys killed in the streets
Disgusted by the chemicals they put in our meats
Our kids hate the skin they're in
Because of what they see on TV
Boys will be boys if you can't teach them to respect me
Children brought into this world only to be neglected
Black men calling me ugly
Sounds like your own insecurities projected
Cause when you look at me
You see yourself reflected
Disgusted by a lineage
You tried to deflect
Way back when
Like a loose-sleeve
You've been trying to fit in
With anything that's European
And with the way I see it
With the way I see it
I face much adversity in the streets
As I do in class
Cause I don't wanna be a ghetto ignorant ass
I got faith
Can't look at the glass as half empty
My faith exceeds my view
And that's word to Corinthians 2
Still
Ain't no reason for you to look at me sideways
Freshly squeezed like lemonade
But I wasn't Simply Made
Remember the days
When I shrunk myself
Pre-Covid I would mask myself
Yeah, trophy on the shelf
Had to dust myself
Now I'm hyper independent,
I don't ask for help
Cause reaching out has always been a task, I felt
And the elderly would scrutinize
In the times
I was upset
Bout the hand I was dealt
I silenced myself
Now my family keep askin' me
To speak up
But they don't
Listen to my words
And the meaning they carry
I been open and honest
And results may vary
It ain't like on TV
Got me wonderin'
Do you even see me?
You see my hair and my lips and my body and my clothes
But I'm speakin' bout my soul,
Meaning the one nobody knows
Nobody knows
Nobody knows
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
So let me switch the flow up
Been keepin' my distance
Long before Corona
Back when institutions
Gave us cold shoulders
They scold us
And told us
Attempted to mold us
The solution was
To minimize ourselves until they fold us in two (in two)
So we fit their perspective and their view
Inaccurate with
The picture they drew (that ain't even me)
Inaccurate with
The words that they spew but on cue,
We buss back
And I been threw the fire like I'm Shadrach (like I'm Shadrach)
Making waves under the surface like a drug (like a drug)
Feelin' like Stella,
I finally got my groove back (aye, aye, aye, aye)
The culture we be that
The juice, you need that
But we, decree that (that, that, that)
Everything the devil stole (stole)
We take it back (we take it back, back, back)
(We take it back)
We take it back, back, back (back)
Everything the devil stole
We take it back, back, back (back, back, back)
We take it back, back, back
Everything the devil stole
We take it back, back, back (back, back, back)
We take it back, back, back
We take it back, (back, back,) back back
We take it back, (back, back,) back, back
We take it back (we take it)
Back, back,
We take it back, back, back
We take it (we take it) back, back
We take it back, back, (back)
I might have bottled my emotions
But I have never capped
