Myles Cameron - Oreo

Copied!edit Lyrics
original text at lyrnow.com/1997239
Verse 1
They used to call me white boy on the bus
Black child in a white world, I was thrust
Kids picking on me all because
I was fuckin with Paramore, reading books

Never no apologies
Never no fitting in
Forever caught between
And still unraveling the trauma

Verse 2
And who am i?
A quarterlife crisis stopping short of suicide
24 with the world in his grasp
24 working day shifts for cash
24 looking for an apartment
24 feeling lost and loveless

Verse 3
Too black for the white kids and too white for the blacks
Shooting them airballs, wasn't running the track

Lil boy with a head full of naps
“Oreo” yeah niggas said that
Took something that I didn't know I had
Listen to rap try to claim that shit back, back

Bridge
So one time for the black sheep
Onе time for the losers
This onе for the outcasts
Peace, love, hallelujah

Life never been easy
Everybody got trauma
If you can uproot that shit, boy
It makes you stronger
