Love is priceless and so it doesn't come cheaply here
We don't provide the other cheek because one cheek we share
On chic we care, the sheepskin the sheepish wear
It's a crisis and that's just to be completely clear
Look we had a young kid who went and modeled for H&M
Labeled him a monkey survivor to his Caucasian friend
Audacious and of hatred of racist places of racial blend
More pages of our patience regurgitate in this age again
Heard the plague, it’s an ancient trend
Hear them fake when I take offense
Bending over backwards, my vertebrae really hates to bend
We’re degraded and they relent
They created a way to render
Racism it’s real and still here today but we play pretend
The H&M thing was just a vulgar way for publicity
There’s racist corporations, there’s racist public that disagree
There’s racist populations, let’s face these problems officially
There’s racism but only ten percent of it is visibly
I see the peril we only see what we feel visceral
We don’t see the several deeds until we see referral
And the feed is where we’ll need receive the secrets barrelled
Because we don'we need you to deliver news
We need to know who's dying when we're sitting in our living rooms
And if it looms it might bring pain to our healing wounds
If we were all to die only the fair row would be given tombs
Oooh
Though it’s all we know
I wanna live my life
But I don’t feel at home
And I know this can’t be life
Although it’s all we know
'Cause I’ve been feeling like
I got nowhere to go
Heard we were predators I heard we we’re prey but I heard we were perverts
We’re the last to see we’re enslaved but then we’re early for service
Where did we learn this colonialism had early prepared us
Word is resurfaced the world has reverted where we refer to
The fear that we harbored, it's garnered till we’re dearly departed
You’d swear we’re retarded we fled our homes to where we're regarded
As queer and discarded I shed a tear aware I’m disheartened
My flesh has been hardened they suggested my message is jargon
They don’t read these letters here but still they let us hear what’s happening in Libya
Slave trade why does it sound familiar?
It’s the same stage where we’re made to feel inferior
And we’re named slaves I’m amazed
Look what's happening in Charlottesville we feel the degradation that the harlots feel
The largest thrills come from celebration of when we harbor skills
That we can use for fitting in in truth its really sickening
The farthest we'll ever get from segregation is target drills
The news isn't really new it's really the same things
Different terminology now they call ghettos the slave ships
But who debates it I’ll be dr Luther’s shape shift
We move or stay stiff 'cause how do we remove a racist
For the life that I’ve been showed I owe that to my mumsi
If what is mine is lined in gold I hold that to my mum's feet
Was colorblind but now we know the road back to our mum's breed
For all the times that I’ve been told to go back to my country
Oooh
Though it’s all we know
I wanna live my life
But I don’t feel at home
And I know this can’t be life
Although it’s all we know
'Cause I’ve been feeling like
I got nowhere to go
Yo this can’t be life
Even though it’s all we know
I wanna live my life
I wanna feel at home
I know this can’t be life
Even though it’s all we know
'Cause I’ve been feeling like
Like I got nowhere to go yeah
