My school said I couldn't have my hair
Swear
That ain't fair
I didn't know that we did that here
Said you weren't like them over there
In the US thought you were in the clear
But it's clear that's some glaring
Stand out issues that are still kinda near
Much closer to home than you wana share
Weren't more than my heart could just bear
My young heart didn't know it was deeper tear
A deeper cut like what the fuck
My culture ain't worth enough to sit alongside yours
Your cursing us
Serving us messages indirectly we're subservient
Subversive but it's what from birth is us

I was just getting into stride
Young black pride
Didnt even know it suit me really
But I really didn't even mind
Cane row I was just gassed to have it me is magic
But apparently it made savage
Like my family roots just had no manners
That left a stain more than the pain when
I sat with Selina there in the chair for hours
Like my braids being shamed saying that they
Gang relate them fucking man there are cowards
That's where the blues at
Sat there looking for a durag
Surrounded by posters of Tupac
Not knowing that I'd soon be unstuck like the blue tac

It's a mad sensation
Gaslight and dictation
Always waiting for the complaints in
When someone on tv shows their orientation
That we came from plantations
And still chasing freedom
People creating imbalance by not acknowledging
We're different that's not separation
Just realisation
Our history's are different by nation
Not just skin that we're facing
That's our foundation
Why we're in this situation
Can't see that fading
Equalities will never be there for the taking
But I know that I'm done we're taming
