The Shade

Modern day but feeling different
In recent years there's a familiar scent
Back in school man I was used to it, yeah
Nothing defined me but the shade of my skin
Not the content of my soul
Ostracized and put aside I never had control
Ten years on the clock but questioning what I'd been told

And I ain't going to sit here and scream for unity
'Cause I'm tired of starting dialogue with those who don't want it with me
But I'm still spreading kindness, that's the one virtue we need
So whilst I'm on my feet
I'ma give hope еverything it need

'Cause this world is all of ours
This world is all of ours

For five yеars same rhetoric
Some think that one type's heaven sent
The majority are peaceful beings
But drowned out by the cats who filter the unseen
We can't let them set the pace
We control the narrative with educated grace
Imagine seeing the world where everybody has their space

But I'm still in disbelief why we're still debating these things
It's common sense that we progress when everyone wins
Ain't here for a long time don't let the shade put us all in teams
I sign off with these dreams

'Cause this world is all of ours
This world is all of ours
