In “B.U.T”, Imminent reflect on the rocky relationship many of us have with social media and the projection of beauty. The lyrics express how it feels to be underrepresented in the media and more specifically on social media. And because life imitates art the consequences are greater than people rea...
B.U.T Lyrics
[Intro]
Who taught you to hate yourself?
Who taught you to hate yourself from the crown of your head to the souls of your feet?
Who taught you to hate yourself?
Who taught you to hate yourself from the crown of your head to the souls of your feet?
[Verse 1]
You’ve been gone for so long
How long have you been gone
I don’t know what to do
Where can I find you?
Is it you or is it me?
Hard to tell, I cannot see
Each new frame replacing me
Thought gets hazed so easily
Unaware were not free
Though we’re bound by what’s seen
False representation
Sense of losing me
Where’s your version of me?
Chase perfection we can’t see
Permeates you’re ID
Dissatisfied reality
[Pre-Chorus]
Where did it go wrong?
Who else knew -
Signs did I miss it’s
Too far gone
[Chorus]
I’m afraid that what you’ve got
Can’t be cured, it’s gone too far
I’m afraid we’ve got no time
To fix what’s broke and press rewind
I’m afraid that we are dead
Paint our face and smile instead
Where are you I’m tryna reach you?
Where are you I’m tryna reach you?
[Verse 2]
There’s no choice in what we see
Perfection censored is what streams
No problem with make up please
Beauty through unfiltered dreams
Differences in what we see
Differences in who we be
Who’s responsibility?
Freedom is a luxury
[Pre-Chorus]
Where did it go wrong?
Who else knew -
Signs did I miss it’s
Too far gone
[Chorus]
I’m afraid that what you’ve got
Can’t be cured, it’s gone too far
I’m afraid we’ve got no time
To fix what’s broke and press rewind
I’m afraid that we are dead
Paint our face and smile instead
Where are you I’m tryna reach you?
Where are you I’m tryna reach you?
Mirror mirror on the wall
Who's the prettiest of em all?
How many women ain't got no flaws?
Run through them all as soon as you off
You too skinny, you too fat
You too short, you too tall
But you black and you strong
You know God loves you all
It's like your skin ain't great enough
Your face ain't made enough
Your hair ain't straight enough
You don't know who you are
You made it up
You see nothing about you is wrong
Because you beautiful with all of your flaws
Mhmmn yup
[Chorus]
I’m afraid that what you’ve got
Can’t be cured, it’s gone too far
I’m afraid we’ve got no time
To fix what’s broke and press rewind
I’m afraid that we are dead
Paint our face and smile instead
Where are you I’m tryna reach you?
Where are you I’m tryna reach you?
