Mantra

Privilege is something that is not earned
It's something you're given as soon as you're born
I feel like I should not be taking this shit for granted even though, I know it could be better
I still count all of my blessings
My thing is, you will never understand me
I come from multiple places where everywhere pain is a struggle that sells
My beauty is shameful, I'm yellow
Been told I'd be prettier if only my slit eyes were little bit bigger by my own damn kind
It still blows my mind how you can tear me down when you're the spit image of who I'll become
We gotta overcome this internal battle
These internal struggles like, we should have each other, love each other like, 'cause we're one
Said the trust has been fucked but it can be undone
I'm a singer with a rapper demeanor
I'm proud 'cause it took me so long to claim my own
To claim my own, without thinking, "If I say all this, who might I hurt?" like, fuck that
See this spot? This right here is the right that I've earned
I'v been grindin' too long
I've been stressing too long but my love for this shit is too strong
Way, way, way, way, way, way, way too damn long
So if you think that I'll quit then you're wrong
