Katannah - ONE!

To Rate
Every day I wake up to this dreaded feeling
Yeah, you my fault, homie
I just need healing
This the story of a young black brother
Walking round the neighborhood
Looking like no other way
Nothin' but pain in his eyes
People givin' side-eyes, tellin' lies
Sendin' trash talkin' his pets to lies, bein' an
Exception in the crowd
And yo' skin tones come out loud
It's a blessing and a curse to try to visualize
If it was in reverse
Just the way that he's dressin', impressin', or
Turnin' heads around, is bein' hatеd and rated, and
Put into the ground some
See him as a slavе some, see him as a king
While he's trying to get love
Now that your diamond rings but

All these materialistic things can't
Fix the feeling inside the
Feeling of a good heart of you
Who's already died although
It was hard at first to feel pride when
Mama call me pretty
She ain't never lie nigga
Coming up
I always used to hide
Nobody even knew bout me
Now they talkin' loud
Since a little kid
I knew what all this was about, shit
And my own family members told me
This the hard route was
One of the smartest in class, but
Still gots the look from everyone
That said I'm my black cast, but
Anger at people that like to talk reckless done passed
The feeling of being watched and judged never ever has
Imagine how awkward you gotta make a brother feel
When the young and the old trying to see if you was real
Motherfucker, you're old as a brick and got no trace of sins
In your common sense
And I don't be owing you an apology
Cause the only thing that I'm trying to see
Is where do I go when it's out of see
So, Tell me
What is a brother like me supposed to do?
When the only people that understand
Is Omi and his barber Drew
He's walking in the park listening to Erykah Badu
Somebody accuses something that ain't even true
Just tell me, how would you feel if you wasn't me?
Having three fighters and not knowing your family tree
Not knowing who you are and what you're supposed to be
When some expect you to be calm and collected and some a real G
But they fail to realize I can be whoever I wanna be
I'm a real brother
I ain't no Uncle Sam
I'm clean on everything
I ain't weighing no grams
I like me a loyal one
Bitch fuck your only fans
I like to combine your doubts with mine
So fuck your opinion
Now it's my time to shine
Got infinite potential to prove everybody wrong
Won every battle
My physical and mental's damn strong
Sit in my room night long, rhyme my rhymes
It wasn't that easy to barely come along
Just pray for me that I make it
After I finish this song
