lyrics

All these white kids singing songs by slaves, my love im always so afraid,
I guess I thought it was okay, till she told me that it didnt have to be that way.
And i love the fact you found a way, to break from free from the silence
Tell them what it mean’s to be happy, let your hair down, (and grow)

CHORUS I’m way too honest with the people that I love, I’m supposed to love.

And fuck that MALL COP
And fuck those IGNORANT ADULTS
You know there is no cause, greater that living and shouting for a better tomorrow

How should you act? Like you want and you need to,
you’re not too sensitive if you feel see through
Ive heard you talk about yourself and the hate,
And know its stems from this cramped place
Cuz ill change my name before my kid has to,
Be taught to put their hands up like
Dont shoot dont shoot
(dont shoot dont shoot)

(BRIDGE)
No, Our kids will be sensitive, they’ll draw pictures and shit
They’ll always be reading poems, with the block kids
Our kids will be sensitive, they’ll draw pictures and shit
They’ll always be reading poems, with the block kids

No you don't have to be the voice of the nation,
It isn’t your full time job to.
Only 17 i know you got daydreams about the places that you want to see.
So when you dont feel like being on display or dancing for those monkeys
I can show you some
RESPECT, just lay your head and talk to me,
Take a break, running round, my head is spinning just looking now.

Oh please no Please dont miss the forest for the trees, have you heard me say?
Your stronger than i swear that i could ever be,
Please hear me say.

And if another lady asks you a question
like you dont know what you mean
Imma lose my shit.
