Beige, Not White

Jai: “Why...why do I hear her…?”

Delano: “Because she’s speaking, I suppose.”

Jai: “Look, I know that voice. It’s--”

Delano: “I’m sure it is. But my hearing’s not that strong. I’m a visual learner. And all I see is what you’re up against next. Good luck with that.”

Jai: “Good luck? What am I supposed to do, fight my mother?”

Delano: “I guess that could work. But I wish you good luck because I’m staying here for now. I started you along this path, but you're on you're own when traversing it. See you on the other side...”

Jai: "Yeah, whatever..."

Verse

I don't want no tears, just open ears and an open heart
I've been in my fears, trying to steer a but my mind is scarred
I've waited years to persevere, not to depart
Or disappear, I'm still sincere, my love on guard

My only friend, you taught me well, Learn to believe
Not in myself, but in my dreams, my family
Became my wealth, I learned that life's not what it seems
But find a path, no I in team, but M and E

And that's spells Me, so, I am my guide, made my decision
By myself, I'll take that chance if there's collision
On this road, I will not fall, I'm not proficient
I'm the best, we think alike? You're opposition

Take no picks, no one is safe from one another
I'm a man, take care of myself, I am no sucker
As it may, without your care, I'd have no color
I'd be dead, no dreadful thoughts, I miss my mother
But...

It's beige, I'm on my way there, but it still ain't white
It's beige, I'm on my way there, but it still ain't white
It's beige, I'm on my way there, but it still ain't white
So, bleach me out from this pain and I'll be alright
It's beige, I'm on my way there, but it still ain't white
It's beige, I'm on my way there, but it still ain't white
It's beige, I'm on my way there, but it still ain't white
So, bleach me out from this fame and I'll be alright

Verse Two

Tell me is this real? Man, what's the deal, are you by my side
Oh, the ordeal, should I appeal, should I confide
I'm so confused, where are you now?l You know I tried
I took my fears, and let them go, I realized

That when I left, I took you all, I'm not the same
This is a test, it's my call, and mine to claim
And that is life and it is death, should I address
This feeling up in my chest, I must confess

I've never thought that you'd be amazed, it's crazy to say
That all the shit that we've been through we'd make it okay
And all the actions I've taken made me who I am today
So, you can take what is given or you can start a buffet

My mother raised me and not a parrot
That's something I won't inherit
I won't be the reason why her life is full of hysterics
I won't be an alphanumeric prisoner in the system
You either join with the movement or jump the gap of the schism

Your fucking choice, let your followers take your voice
Or will you use it for the reason it's given, to make some noise
I have no patience, man, fuck this generation
Cause it's a point where you're either a thottie or you're basic

So, if you're looking for guidance, I have some steps you can do
Delete your Win32 and all of the shit that you knew
And we've done this before, so this is tired and true
For all the things that I've done, man, I have nothing to prove

It's beige, I'm on my way there, but it still ain't white
It's beige, I'm on my way there, but it still ain't white
It's beige, I'm on my way there, but it still ain't white
So, bleach me out from this pain and I'll be alright
It's beige, I'm on my way there, but it still ain't white
It's beige, I'm on my way there, but it still ain't white
It's beige, I'm on my way there, but it still ain't white
So, bleach me out from this fame and I'll be alright
