T1C3 - Black Skin Lyrics

Lyrics Black Skin - T1C3



Straight to the point
Black lives matter
My name is T1C3
Yea
I woke up with tears in my eyes, feelin why it gotta be this way
Popz told me stories of desert storm
But the hate it still amongst today (storm)
I DON'T FEEL OK (OK)
I can't even go to the park to catch my Pokémon
Without being called The Hard R
While the cowards drive off (cowards)
It's so crazy cause I fought for this country, colorless vision
Yet consider a monkey, carried a gun so you can get sleep (factz)
It's that deep, and I find it hard to coupe with (black)
I'm not weak but emotions are eroding (yea)
So many tears for this year I need a floaty (black)
The weird looks at fancy dinners, I'm just tryna EAT (whooo)
Money ain't problem anymore I was poor
But I found an open door just like everybody else
Only difference is had to camouflage for my wealth
Like I was somebody else see it's hard to be our selves
In this black skin (yea)
Hard to be yourself feel like you can't win (can't win)
Like everybody else
It's simply different (yea)
Even when you make it people trippin (why they trippin)
In this black skin (black)
Hard to be yourself feel like you can't win (black)
Like everybody else
It's simply different (black)
Even when you make it people trippin (black skin)
I grew up hard life I'm on point (Ughh)
I grew up with real people, race won't one (yea)
White, black, Asian, Mexicano moved as one
So when you come at me a racist, you gotta feel this drum (whooo)
Job is the slay you with words any day
Internet is terrible keyboard warriors here to play
And the Copz, I'm really disappointed (sad)
Far from the ones I ran into as a youngin
The ones who gave you a chance, when you didn't have an option (whoo)
Took you back home, when you was out their Mobbin (Mob)
Breaking curfew, shoplifting but was acting like our fathers (yes)
Taken women off the streets
Fighting hard to save our daughters (factz)
Nowadays itz a taze or you lose your life (stop it)
Surely there's a small chance there's a heart inside (nope)
If not then people hit the streets, and you wonder why people fed up
Feeling doomed
In this black skin (black)
Hard to be yourself feel like you can't win (black)
Like everybody else
It's simply different (Black)
Even when you make it people trippin (why they trippin)
In this black skin (black)
Hard to be yourself feel like you can't win
Like everybody else
It's simply different (black)
Even when you make it people trippin
(Black skin)
And the thing is like
Growing up man
(Black)
We was in a small circle and everybody was not the same race bro
(Black, white, asian)
I mean we were like blood brothers and sister you feel me
(Mexicans)
I mean it was so hard cause my friends had everything man
(Indians)
And we were like struggling to keep up
But growing up we grinded the same way
(Bobos)
So I don't understand why
(To Nike's)
Like today is a problem
That I have black skin you feel me
(Da f*k wrong wit chall)
(You see dat Tesla?!)
People look at it like
(Is he black?)
There's something wrong with me
(Black)
There's something wrong with this world
