Sweeter (feat. Terrace Martin)

Hoping for a life more sweeter

Instead, I'm just a story repeating

Why do I fear

With skin dark as night?

Can't feel peace

With those judging eyes

I thought we moved on from the darker days

Did the words of the King disappear in the air

Like a butterfly?

Somebody should hand you a felony

'Cause you stole from me

My chance to be

Hoping for a life more sweeter

Instead, I'm just a story repeating

Why do I fear

With skin dark as night?

Can't feel peace

With those judging eyes

The tears of my Mother rain, rain over me

My sisters and my brothers sing, sing over me

And I wish I had another day

But it's just another day

Hoping for a life more sweeter

Instead, I'm just a story repeating

Why do I fear

With skin dark as night?

Can't feel peace

With those judging eyes

Hoping for a life more sweeter
