Lyrics

English
Round again, round again round again round again
I'm black and proud again, I found my friends
Passed another stark reminder that I'm brown again
An explanation to a blank expression,
What a clown.
Defend the wrong side its blatant.
Not much between those eyes, vacant
Is this just ignorance or hatred
Round again round again round again round again
My sense of self, I've found again
Driven to giving in to stereotypes,
I figured that cynisicm is very alright
I hit the limit of innocence, I buried the child inside me
I'm educated and at peace
Cos back then
I didnt even have black friends
But now I understand nuance and facts
so when you…
Roll your eyes
Just cause you know I'm right
Yes I can read your mind
seen this a thousand times
Black skin
All the powers I tapped in
They askin
How we made it when back then
I was fighting
Black fists to white skin
Left a bruise In
Right hook I got him shook
Think we stupid
My mama always told me boy don’t be foolish
They’ll never go through half the things that we been through with
You think your buddy from your class gone get you through this
Our melanin is all you got don’t let them use it
If you can't see it then it mustn't exist
And im not seen unless I'm raising a fist,
unless I'm taking a knee
Optimism optimism, a friendly smile,
look nice now but I'll always be a threat
And once again we don't get a look in
Unless it's a comment on how we're looking
Roll your eyes
Just cause you know I'm right
Yes I can read your mind
Seen this a thousand times
