lyrics

Verse 1
Personal songs is hard to write and examine parts of a lifetime still fill short in the bucket I'm just a grain blackness means using laughter to adjust to pain also knowing folks don't got the range according to them it's a trend to live in my skin until the cops rush in and assume you a threat for no apparent cause aside to receive applause so they orchestrate run ins til you lose your faith in a place of a ruler who don't got no face say word to the deaf and play movies for the blind the world must've lost its mind in time I don't what's in store anymore the shelves are stripped naked in the land of milk and honey only beef and getting stung remains the locus destroyed the grain so bread is out the window please check on yo kinfolk


Verse 2
we don't got too long before they bleach our photos and neauter the truth they done it before when it was set in marble and stone so it won't be long to us who are told to be meek and we'll inherit everything we've ever seeked please ignore the fables I mutter to myself as I try to control my mental health manic tendencies I guess explains the mood swings and disassociation when it all crash at the day's end paranoia looms in my relationships been rocky from the start guess I had to survive to give you pieces of my heart and soul why I don't know is my only reply to questions is


Verse 3
better than a lie truth be told it's painful to speak like polyps in a throat instead of being silent I rather go hoarse yeah I got drive but I still feel off course cause the road ain't paved still ain't paid to be an artist guess I gotta die to get my art recognized and sold for what it's worth inside of stuffy art galleries where the people who need it can't afford to see cause of they shift at work is a double to make rent in society where my people ain't valued besides labor baby aye g errybody talking over universal timelines put it together to get the end of the rhyme one.

Outro

BLACK IS BLACK
No matter how you cut it we be gutted
BLACK IS BLACK
No matter how you cut it we be gutted
BLACK IS BLACK
No matter how you love it we be gutted
BLACK IS BLACK
No matter how we covered we been gutted
