Lyrics
You wasn’t supposed to draw another breath/
You used to be innocent til hair got on yo upper lip/
They don’t see you human you are just a threat/
Body made for brutalizing, how the fuck are you depressed/
Every day somebody like you getting exed/
Try to play the role and end up sabotaging what you built/
Look just like yo daddy, know that line a hit/
Can’t get out his shadow so that darkness where you tryna live/
They expect the most from you and nothing less/
Still gon denigrate the boy and double down that you ain’t shit/
You been tryna tighten up and hold yo head/
Everybody looking down ain’t never touched where bottom is/
Aphorisms told you focus on the bread/
Tax every direction, call it the pursuit of happiness/
You gon be the strawman burnt with hate again/
Road to hell is paved with good intentions, those seem absent here/
What you need?
Tender words
Hard to find, but they tend to work
I accept your pain and grief my brother
Let’s try and end the curse
Curse
BLACK BOY
KNOW IT AINT SO SIMPLE
TO ATTRACT JOY
KEEPING ALL THAT TRAUMA
UNDER WRAPS BOY
HOPE YOU FIND THE LOVE
RIGHT WHERE YOU AT BOY
CRY AND LET IT LEAK
YOU HUMAN TO ME
BLACK BOY
KNOW IT AINT SO SIMPLE
TO ATTRACT JOY
KEEPING ALL THAT TRAUMA
UNDER WRAPS BOY
HOPE YOU FIND THE LOVE
RIGHT WHERE YOU AT BOY
CRY AND LET IT LEAK
YOU HUMAN TO ME
You got all this light in you, I see it still/
We gon mend some broken threads, your fate is bright no need to kill/
Glory to your hustle bruh, we see the skill/
Don’t let hate diminish what’s been given, we get free with will/
Ask a couple questions while we eat a meal/
Curiosity a good foundation when we seek to heal/
Life ain’t always balanced, you perceive the scale/
Tipping toward the freedom of accepting how to keep it real/
Know it don’t come easy when we speak to ills/
I know how you treat me just to mirror how you see yourself/
Know it bear repeating, you got deep appeal/
Never let a hater tell you different, keep yo skin as steel/
Facing gratitude we gon defeat the heel/
Villains to your prospering
Unconscionable no need to deal/
Love you as you are my brodie stamp and seal/
Rolling with the punches and the seas as it get more surreal
What you need?
Tender words
Hard to find, but they tend to work
I accept your pain and grief my brother
Let’s try and end the curse
Curse
BLACK BOY
KNOW IT AINT SO SIMPLE
