Lyrics

I just wanna rap on this one man
B-Lo
No punch in though
Yo
I was born and wasn't sure with what black was
I got adored at Montessori, I look back cause
Everyone looked like me, own kind multiplied then
Still never thought I was the product of my environment
City full of sirens, coming in from cycling
I was so nerdy, friends heard me
So I liked them
Got a little taciturn, it really hurt
When we moved down to them ATL 'burbs
Youthful bliss got adjourned, zapped to reality
And the old me was the lone fatality
Back when I wasn't treating beats like casualties
Start 'em up in the Basement and end 'em off at Mount Calvary
Nevermind that, got sidetracked, rewind back
I'm black but I wanted to go deny facts
Don't wanna let 'em in but these thoughts are in my head again
I'm not deserving of working this perfect melanin
Oreo the title, inside though is white folk
And I sure agreed the way I was hitting styro
Mind up in a cyclone, then a light grows
Inside of me, that white came out like vitiligo
Acted too white, was super zealous for true acceptance
I wanted suit and tie, my screwed up mind had me lose my stepping
Then y'all grew jealous, my Yin and Yang's got me too reckless
Steady tryna box me in, but this ain't June 2nd
All those stupid times wishing life would end
'Cause I was not lightskinned, longing for white girlfriends
Stuck in gray area just 'cause i didn't struggle
Fuck your beady beads Chris, you're in a suburb bubble
We don't care 'bout your raps, you don't tote no Glocks
Those were fireworks you heard, you ain't never hear shots
It don't matter 'bout the post traumatic slave in our blood
Funny they say we loot, but they done stole from us
I treat the word like reparations, but they still tryna say it
And be feeling up on my hair, swearing they not racist
Acting like our ancestors' bodies didn't soak
Still arguing 'bout bullshit on the sinking boat
But we really all we got, we should all be brethren
Rest in peace to everybody taken by Peyton Gendron
I'm comfortable in my body, honestly loving my hue
I feel like Detroit Red rocking that Buffalo Blue
But I'm not Huey or Bobby, man I'm a hypocrite too
Depends on who you ask, we all got ignorant views
My black card worth more than any AMEX you use
Can't swipe it away 'cause how I choose to move
And I'm real loud and proud of my skin
But I never let that dictate who I was within
I'm no immortal though or the Oreo they considered
To the rest of my country, maybe I'm just another ****
