Mykele Deville - Monolith lyrics

[Verse 1: Mykele] Pick your style Pick your clothes Pick your music You got free will dont let them tell you how to use it Yup, you know its beauty in the choice Since a boy I'd explore how much my thoughts weighed Never forced to wear the M.A.S.K Thats heavy baby, too much to handle Competing with the expectations of spiritual vandals Only motive is a school scandal Gossiping cannibals Your difference looks like greatness then they're all up in your mandible Whoa, now you're a talented show without competing sleazy I rocked some moon boots A black guitar Some pokemon cards An african dashiki covered in graffiti Id even try to brush my hair when I was feeling dreamy So, this simple fact is You don't have to practice Defy the definition Not a right way to be black To be whack To be cool To be you Just be true to yourself Represent Whats inside Inner wealth baby [Hook: Mykele & Jovan] Not here to fulfill your urban myth Wasn't born to conform to what you're comfortable with Lets take these old tropes down so we can reinvent Yo, Im not the Monolith No, we're no the Monolith Not a monolith, no we're not the monolith! And you should really know this by now, it is really common sense! Not a monolith, no we're not the monolith! And you should really know this by now, it is really common sense! Not a monolith, no we're not the monolith! And you should really know this by now! [Verse 2: Jovan] Don't fool yourself to think I have some monolith behavior Like candy, people comes in different kind of flavors I favor the ones who ain't afraid to be themselves I know it takes a little time, and it takes a certain kind of help Don't listen to the enemies, just tell them k** the noise Like how we tell them in the streets within the state of Illinois Remain to stay poise and confuse 'em Diffuse 'em, with kindness, 'cause that's the way that you have to infuse them And lose 'em, cause one day you will laugh and this and laugh at 'em Quirky & creative, chewing on your favorite bubble gum The world is just so troublesome, remember you're the brightest one They always looking at you hard, because you replicate the sun! Don't taketh who you are for granted They contemplate all the time to be planted, our purpose's not to vanish Although we black girl magic: establish, just who we are Just who we are and dream far, within the stars [Hook: Trig] Not the Monolith, yo I'm no the Monolith Not the Monolith, yo we're no the Monolith Not the Monolith, yo we're no the Monolith No, no [Verse 3: Trig] Sister told me I should be myself, so that's what I teach And In ya soul is gold and inner wealth, so that's what I preach Don't ever fall because they talking down, Just make sure ya reach To the top, and soon enough all the nonsense will stop That was the truth If I ain't never heard it I took this truth up to the booth , and knew I had to serve it To the youth so they can know exactly what the word is When they out and making everyone around them NERVOUS! But that's life, people hate what they don't understand But let them hate, just elevate and keep the upper hand Remember that your melanin is not some sort of brand Your an individual that's pivotal across the land God made me lyrical to spit visual miracles for the little boy and girl at home that's trying to reach there pinnacle Stay original, that's the principle its critical It's now traditional to think that we are all physical So typical to think that we are all criminals All those thoughts are minimal, we remain invincible Thinking that we are the monolith became habitual Let me be ya doctor, break ya habits with medicinal We Are Not The Monolith We Are Not The Monolith We Are Not The Monolith We Are Individuals!
