Consumed By Thoughts
Its crazy how you can lose yourself, trying to find something you THINK you need,
friends, love, belonginess, causing you so much stres.
The laughter, the memories, never thought it would end this way, ya know
they say that some people come in our lives as blessings and others as lessons
and I sure have learned mine, some of these smiles in your face is just a disguise.
Love, you think he loves you? babygirl, have a seat and learn your value.
"Send me a pic on snapchat, you know it will go away" now he showing everyone
Billy, John, even Ray Ray, now what do you have to say?
Like I said, it's funny how you search for something you think you need, belonginess
and trying to fit in this society.
Stop thinking that everyone is your friend, they wanna see you do good, but never
better than them.
You scream IM BLACK AND IM PROUD, but are you? Dark skin, light skin
thats the issue.
So caught up in being "red bone" or "foreign" thinking thats all to beauty,
showing shape and having all that booty.
Have respect, have virtue maybe, just maybe then people will respect you.
Now we have our young black men with so much integrity, but still live
everyday with a slave mentality.
Acting out and carrying on that you're grown, but it's a shame that someone
has to be over you to do the right thing, you wont do it on your own.
Our history is constantly being told by those who have no right, then we get mad
rowdy and uptight.
You cant let people scare you, you cant let the judgement of others
stop you from being you.
This is YOUR story, write what you know is TRUE!
