I been faced with oppression
On all sides of me
Is it illusion
Or my reality
Face to face
With the mirror
only I can see
The fork in back
They want a piece me
Like I’m made out of
Clay
I break easily
And the cracks on my skin
Wont mend peacefully
Addicted to trends
That have no merit
Hashtags ain’t enough
For your friends
They need to bear it
Walk a mile in my shoes
I been profiled by the cops
And the troops
I been handcuffed
Just for hanging with the crew
Brutalized my face
And it never made the news
The burden is not your own
For you carry
You are not alone
Don’t you worry
The burden is not your own
For you carry
You are not alone
I been kicked on
I been spit on
I been called nigger
In the Only morn
This a little dark
but I’m being honest
Took all the patience in the world
not to be violent
They say
You pretty cute for a dark girl
we never bat a eye in this cruel world
I had to realize what that did to me
Chose a fairer skin girl cause they deemed pretty
& The Tv got a hold
Of my childhood
Washed the brain
With the codes
still unpacking
As the times make us old
Hidden messages
manifest in your soul
The burden is not your own
For you carry
You are not alone
Don’t you worry
The burden is not your own
For you carry
