No Idols - Beige, Not White lyrics

Jai: “Why...why do I hear her…?” Delano: “Because she's speaking, I suppose.” Jai: “Look, I know that voice. It's--” Delano: “I'm sure it is. But my hearing's not that strong. I'm a visual learner. And all I see is what you're up against next. Good luck with that.” Jai: “Good luck? What am I supposed to do, fight my mother?” Delano: “I guess that could work. But I wish you good luck because I'm staying here for now. I started you along this path, but you're on you're own when traversing it. See you on the other side...” Jai: "Yeah, whatever..." Verse I don't want no tears, just open ears and an open heart I've been in my fears, trying to steer a but my mind is scarred I've waited years to persevere, not to depart Or disappear, I'm still sincere, my love on guard My only friend, you taught me well, Learn to believe Not in myself, but in my dreams, my family Became my wealth, I learned that life's not what it seems But find a path, no I in team, but M and E And that's spells Me, so, I am my guide, made my decision By myself, I'll take that chance if there's collision On this road, I will not fall, I'm not proficient I'm the best, we think alike? You're opposition Take no picks, no one is safe from one another I'm a man, take care of myself, I am no s**er As it may, without your care, I'd have no color I'd be dead, no dreadful thoughts, I miss my mother But... Hook It's beige, I'm on my way there, but it still ain't white It's beige, I'm on my way there, but it still ain't white It's beige, I'm on my way there, but it still ain't white So, bleach me out from this pain and I'll be alright It's beige, I'm on my way there, but it still ain't white It's beige, I'm on my way there, but it still ain't white It's beige, I'm on my way there, but it still ain't white So, bleach me out from this fame and I'll be alright Verse Two Tell me is this real? Man, what's the deal, are you by my side Oh, the ordeal, should I appeal, should I confide I'm so confused, where are you now?l You know I tried I took my fears, and let them go, I realized That when I left, I took you all, I'm not the same This is a test, it's my call, and mine to claim And that is life and it is d**h, should I address This feeling up in my chest, I must confess I've never thought that you'd be amazed, it's crazy to say That all the sh** that we've been through we'd make it okay And all the actions I've taken made me who I am today So, you can take what is given or you can start a buffet My mother raised me and not a parrot That's something I won't inherit I won't be the reason why her life is full of hysterics I won't be an alphanumeric prisoner in the system You either join with the movement or jump the gap of the schism Your f**ing choice, let your followers take your voice Or will you use it for the reason it's given, to make some noise I have no patience, man, f** this generation Cause it's a point where you're either a thottie or you're basic So, if you're looking for guidance, I have some steps you can do Delete your Win32 and all of the sh** that you knew And we've done this before, so this is tired and true For all the things that I've done, man, I have nothing to prove Hook It's beige, I'm on my way there, but it still ain't white It's beige, I'm on my way there, but it still ain't white It's beige, I'm on my way there, but it still ain't white So, bleach me out from this pain and I'll be alright It's beige, I'm on my way there, but it still ain't white It's beige, I'm on my way there, but it still ain't white It's beige, I'm on my way there, but it still ain't white So, bleach me out from this fame and I'll be alright
