I Hated My Name

Stand up straight

And we raise our fists like this (like this, like this)

Shipped insane to be sons of slaves to a whip

Now we wince at this

Covered in shame

It's far from shame why you hate my lips and skin

I hated my name

I thought if it changed then s**t would be simpler (s**t)

Stand up straight and we raise our fists like this

Shipped insane to be sons of slaves to a whip

Now we wince at this

Covered in shame

It's far from shame how he hate my lips and skin

I hated my name

I thought if it changed then s**t would be simplеr (s**t)

Cut to the chase

If we want a changе then we've gotta believe in the sauce

The infinite shimmering sauce bottled in pain

Your heart is the source

Shouts out if you're black and you're proud with patience

Trying to explain this s**t

Have you ever been black when you're out

Like you're taking space on the pavement? (shit)

Couple feds wanna tell me they're hearing of robberies

I must've burgled my yard

Didn't think that this is where I live but it is

I'm like listen, I don't wanna laugh

Give in to the system

Or prisons are keeping the lid on my brothers in arms

(That's it, that's it)

You know what I'm talking 'bout
