lyrics

HOOK (Steph)


VERSE 1 (Substantial)

To live a lie isn’t living, You gotta live the life you been given
However you decide to the ending, You try’na make it like you envisioned
Use to run & hide, Use to wanna die
‘Nuff tears cried we could swim in
True self denied, No self pride
Like you’re locked inside your own prison
Try’na fight loose when they bind you
So you’re free enough to go find you
Got enough to say to write a novel
But they’re limiting you to a Haiku
They’ll condemn you with their bibles
Tried to kill you with their rifles
Even hold you down with their titles
Some of us hide for survival
When you really know who you are what another thinks shouldn’t concern you
But of course this is still hard when a person intends to hurt you
Freedom comes with risk... no love without war
What you thinkin’ buddy, gonna take it from me? Have to kick down my door
‘Cause my vision hasn’t been clearer, I am on a mission now I don’t fear much
I won’t give in now, and I’m grinning proud when I see the man in the mirror
So I welcome change like it seldom came,
Very interested in what tomorrow brings
Getting all this pain, slowly off my brain
Now I see that there is so much more to gain

HOOK

VERSE 2 (Substantial)

Some call you black , Some call you weird
Some call you artist, Some call you queer
Some never call, Some are in fear
Some, when you speak, will never lend an ear
Some, when you need, will never lend a hand
Some are simply here to sabotage your plan
Some call you different
Some call you fam
Their the sum of anyone that understands
Come as you are, and they love you
Couldn’t live false if you wanted to
What’s in your heart, can’t undo
Come too far, shouldn’t shun truth
I had to run to another city, to find my true self what a pity 
Where they embrace diversity and don’t try changed you with scrutiny
Because the skin of me and my kin is known to offend and treated as sin
But black is beautiful and always in, that’s the way feel, I can’t play pretend
That don’t make me better that just mean I love me
In a world that loves to paint us ugly
Can’t believe we live in a country
That tells you who you love is disgusting
Thought we lived in a free state
But that’s clearly up for debate
I don’t speak hate, I won’t behave
I don’t give a damn if you relate
I just want peace for the peaceful
And the haters too ‘cause we equal
For I leave you, I really need you
To live your own truth, all my people SING...
