[Intro: Shani]
Yeah yeah yeah, yeah
[Hook: Lorenzo]
If life played out in black and white
(If I played it)
Would you see the real in me or would it be I go unseen
In all this black and white
All is black and white
The fear in me, the hate I've seen it makes me me
So all I see is all this black and white
[Verse 1: Kaysell]
Starlight shine through an open door
Moonlight glares through an open window
And if ever I'd imagine that I'd feel this small
I would have let it go, from the jump
But to let it go, that's not my pedigree
Suppressing something that I knew could be the d**h of me
Where's my guardian, I need someone to rescue me
Or at least remove these demons who obsess with me
Every written line, every empty beat
Every studio session became a piece of me
Every concept I jotted was just an artist trying to rap about my life with a little f**ing decency
Put my heart on my sleeve, for the love of this
No return or net worth, but while you're coveting searching for other b**hes to slide yourself under covers with
I'm looking in the mirror and it's troubling
Trying to get a grip of life
I wonder if it's worth the fight
Tyson bite, listen up, you know I'm not repeating twice
Take the risk and roll the dice
I know you don't roll believe in Christ but say a prayer and grip the mic and show them what you've got tonight
(But what if)
Nah, I'm not listening now
Stop being a b**h, commit to your lyrics now
Do you, don't you worry about an image now
Let them judge and criticize, don't let it bring you down, yeah
[Bridge: Shani (Kaysell)]
What you gonna do to change this time?
Are you gonna make up your mind?
Show them how bad you want it, now
Show them how bad you want it
Show them how bad you want it, yeah
(Let them judge and criticize, don't let it bring you down)
[Hook]
[Verse 2: Kaysell]
Yeah look, for what it's worth every verse is well endowed
And every b**h you titty f** at every party now
Is all they care about
You call it art, I don't hear it over that loud
I think you should turn it down
I work too hard but you won't see that
Label that I'm white, are they wishing that I be black
What's it really differ if it's meaningful when he raps
Talk about his love or a struggle that he has
I was told I could be anything that I wanted to
An astronaut but I'd rather not
A scientist, president, I still witness prejudice where I walk
I thought that we evolved
My god child ever has a hard time, I'll cut your f**ing tongue out Try it if you think I'm lying
I think I found my drive rapping, no more second guessing
Had my own style you f**ers should go on X-factor
Pulling Jillian Jensen's and making sh** up
Stage a make believe this the this the sh** that should get rid of
Labels make it seem like their artists are the sh** but
They couldn't write a song on their own, so give up
So f** all your radio and your thin buzz
We're the only movement that says what it does
Keep your chin up, it's worth it if you love it
Because you could fail at what you hate
And that you will not stomach, I'm gone
[Hook]
