[00:12.632]Maybe I will step into my light
[00:24.629]Maybe I will finally do what's right
[00:33.604]But it won't be for you
[00:39.620]But it won't be for you
[00:48.347]You took me for granted
[00:50.024]You took off my bandages
[00:51.808]I wasn't healed and I'm not your canvas
[00:54.426]This isn't art and it's not for sale
[00:56.723]You can't buy my pain, like it's not conceptual
[01:00.115]You can't own the space in between my thoughts like real estate
[01:03.562]I know I'm real, but in my state, I look like a beautiful painting of a corpse
[01:07.976]But you made me pose, of course, mmm
[01:12.202]You can't make me kneel even with 500K
[01:15.128]You can't make my people eat cow
[01:16.801]Just like I can't see eye-to-eye with you somehow
[01:18.888]Just like you can't see eye-to-eye with your third eye
[01:21.032]Strip it down next time you cry-cry
[01:24.253]We're sick and tired of the fake you
[01:25.790]Be something real, even if it's ugly, shit
[01:28.263]I said no to so many things when I had convictions
[01:30.553]Then the world breaks you down and you start to wonder
[01:32.489]Why you ever said no to begin with
[01:36.324]Why you ever moved slow in the thickness
[01:38.411]Why you ever let the one you love fall
[01:40.162]While holding up a false idol of another infinitely more insignificant friend
[01:45.022]Was I ever a good friend?
[01:48.270]Why did I gossip?
[01:49.278]Why did I pretend I didn't see you when I saw everything?
[01:52.066]Something I couldn't fathom was how you believed everything I said
[01:55.050]Even when it was obviously embellished
[01:57.406]I couldn't tell you this
[01:59.877]I don't like your art, but I love your heart
[02:02.468]I don't like your clothes, but I love your mind
[02:05.112]I don't like your nose, but I love your eyes
[02:12.553]White girls go to India and do yoga
[02:14.966]Brown girls fight for their freedom in the caste system
[02:17.882]We don't know the answers
[02:18.978]But what happens when you're born with a brown father and a white mother?
[02:22.340]What happens when you look brown but carry the weight of being a mixed kid
[02:25.389]In the middle of nowhere else where no one else is?
[02:27.876]Where you're too brown for the white kids and too watered down for the Vikings
[02:31.233]And too weird for the artists and too nice for the extremists
[02:34.231]And too polite for the punks and too cunt for the cum
[02:37.117]Come here, kid, you're one of us
