Lyrics
Say something I can feel Show something that is real, baby Say something I can feel Show something that is real, oh (Yeah) I hate what I see in the mirror What I saw got me scared to face the truth like I'm in a court of law Frail disposition, immature decisions The fruit of lackin' growth, that's what I call slim pickings The only thing slim about me, my disguise Yellin' "unashamed" all while ashamed of my size Body and eco, Poly' and Negro Hair too big for me to see like when they block the screen So when friends became brands, I felt treated like a has-been Reality check, I collect without cashin' Came to terms with it, I learned business Grows with earned interest, wish I was worth that transaction Christianity brings attachment A Christian ain't on the same line as friends like fractions Man in the mirror talk, runnin' like Madden Rap like this '85, somewhere out in Aspen That's why I'm anxious, askin' all this for a feature Even Trip and 'Crae because I know they see my value Fragile heart torn apart from broken values I confess, man, I see myself as less than Or more or less, really, less than the rest, man But they ain't responsible for my weakness Despite my secrets, man, am I my brother's keeper? No shade, just light on my true colors Most of us colorblind, pretendin' like undercover Airin' out my dirty laundry I had to, man, even if it haunts me Fightin' for sanity is daunting Private thoughts made public to reach desire Don't misconstrue my confession for friendly fire Insecurity makes you question who's fired Say something I can feel Show something that is real, baby Say something I can feel Show something that is real, oh Villa out in Venice, sippin' vino by the water Not bad for a kid without his father From the sticks, known to roll up with the trees Now it's Saint Mark actin' blackish for the Europeans White cues, proper English, run the table, that's the object Scratch that, I see they stripes and they ain't solid Tryna belong far from home like college Like that Marvel movie, it's an illusion, I got it Hard to have the skin most hated by most It sucks to be alone, no matter the coast To be accepted for your dances, but rejected for your stances Tick tock, time flies, but they waste it on a post Thoughts in my mind on the way to a flight Came from the bottom, every step's a new height Day one or one day, that's the fight Becomin' who I am, man, I saw the light Yeah, work hard, play harder, that's the motto Work smart, play smarter, that's what I know Bad company corrupts, watch who you follow Trust is the easiest thing to get Except when you lose it like placin' bets To earn it back is like tryin' to pay a debt That'll leave you feelin' all regret Had to make it off the plantation Evangelicals love me less than this damn nation Walked on eggshells, endurin' this fan hatred Fake friends tellin' me to have patience Like I ain't spend years a**imilatin' for acceptance Like I ain't work in they churches despite they efforts Like I ain't see 'em sit silent when cops behead us Done with people usin' me for white blessings
