Lyrics
You call me crazy
But all the while I'm feeling what you're saying
With your eyes
The policies you write
To keep me down
But still I'm living
Through your lies
Expect me to look away
Turn the other cheek
And take what you give me
Really?
Expect me to look away
Bottling in this rage
From all you've been giving me
Oooh
You just don't understand
Would you try to understand
Or choose not to understand
But then you'll call me angry
Say I pull the race card
Shaming me with stigmas
But you take it too far
Ooh you do not understand
Would you try to understand
Or choose not to understand
What it's like
To live in a Black Body
A threat in Black Body
You aim at my Black Body
You take down my Black Body
We clawed our way from underneath your hold
A royal army
Or did you think you'd bury us forever?
We're the ocean
The wave
The tide
We'd dig up our own graves
Ooooh you do not understand
No longer bow at your command
See you must not understand
What's it's like
To live in a Black Body
The fire in this body
A tower in this body
A tower in this body
Call me crazy
But all the while I'm feeling what you're saying
