lyrics

How do I tell my kids? You can't do shit
'Cause the color of your skin or your body's too thick
Can I look in the mirror and paint myself white
Photoshop myself 30 pounds lighter
5 inches taller? And ain't a fighter
Not ready enough to go against the grinder
Of real against the ideal, fighting just to heal
and lick the wounds, trying not to peel
The scabs from the old ones, open up the new ones
I'm 500% done with everybody's bigotry

And hate goes both ways, justice for the days past
Leaving the future worse for wear
Elitists on both sides leaving me hanging dry
It don't matter that this shit ain't fair

I'm to light to be a nigga, I'm too dark to sell punk
How the fuck do I sell Asian, I'm shit outta luck
Can't make a buck, suck a fuck
Donnie Darko's sitting duck
'Cause I'll never make Hollywood at this rate
Imma never be a real musician, y'see
'Cause I don't have the look or perfect imagery
To sell my body at $10.60 and hour
'Cause my face be lookin' pretty damn sour
I can't be a delicate flower
That's not the DNA I got lined up,
I'm 4'11, stocky, killer vocal cords
killer lion roars, and I'll fuck you up

Chorus
I gotta forgive, don't forget, but to live a little
Not caring what you think at all
I gotta be good, find the middle
Ground and live just like I know I should
