letra de the therapist's terrorist - keralanka

[therapist]
mister raj, welcome to session 7
so, tell me – what would you like to talk about today?

[verse 1: roheezy]
i hit my shrink, unloading trauma up off my dome
til she called me terrorist, joking inside her comfort zone
the same comfort of dehumanization
middle eastern displacement that the people been facing
you barely tryna listen
tryna spread the guilt like b-tter with your clarified intentions
it’s a paradise of stress existing witcha’ feels
living ill
but i gotta do my part in progressing the convo, so i told you ’bout it to keep it real
her response was stuttering d-mn
(i just meant your beard was scruffy…)
that was her reason to cover the sham
and justify the joke just in case it holds up ya guilt
since i’ve vented to yo ass about racist trolls that i’d k!ll
she said
(i’m sorry, i’ll do better)
sh-t that happened next had me hoping for true effort
she asking me for advice, well
i’m asking her if my beard would indicate a terrorist if i happened to be a white male
she said
(well, regardless of race
society perceives every man with an untrimmed beard as a terrorist
besides, trumpers stormed the capital, it’s evident
they’ve been treated the same in my head)
see, being sh-ggy ain’t a race thing to her, she an angel instead
screaming “it wasn’t me”, tryna lay the blame to a rest
project so much, you’d split the sun in fragments
the point over her head, she stood under to bask it
there’s a war going on you almost always been safe from
you think that you’re aware, but your comments cause elevation
center yourself, feeling odd with no even edges
and while you drone off they been bombing our people wreckless
it’s all interconnected, cause imminent pressure
if you want a safe sp-ce, then launch into the nexus
and get to paying attention
we always had a home til your renovations annexed it
then evade our expression
so please understand it’s not my motherf-cking burden to educate your perspective
i don’t walk around the world with no reparations embedded
and i don’t expect to get nothing back from these f-ckin crackers ‘cept meditation and prayers
and detonations of meccas that’s predicated on tears
separation of borders and incrementalists pushing they legislation for fear
while my dedication appears to be boiled down to the hue of this melanin in the mirror
[verse 2: roheezy]
(why don’t you look in the mirror for once?)
i was raised through the lens that there’s no defying authorities
that bigger picture the code for violence and gory scenes
papa probably thought he was solarizing my spirit
but they taking headshots while we pose as model minorities
i hate this movie, they been digging the plot
’cause them boys on film, but still cinema shot
with body cams, i thought that meant that they’d leave it
ripping ‘em off with bandaid solutions, sh-t ain’t adhesive
and brown folks align ourselves with supremacists
every time we cater to light skin or the fetishes
not understanding that without black people
we’d never have the privilege to immigrate to the life we live
it’s 1965
the immigration act that was passed, opened the door to those who isn’t white
and only ’cause of civil rights
so us pointing fingers at the community that got us here is so ill advised
and cuz of that sh-t, i won’t oblige… nah
(listen to me, you will oblige)
don’t oblige to these crackers, i start a fire with the match that’s lit
we been sleep, i know the blind can imagine
they k!lled malcolm and then hampton while throwing lies on they casket
since they ended in a coffin, we owe our lives to the activists
it took 23 years for me to honour pain
and recognize we not the same
’cause i was young, brown, confused and making jokes with n words
never looking inwards
how it go when you misdentify with a struggle that don’t reflect yours
that anti-blackness is what got us on enemy front
we putting down a culture that we borrow identity from
they suited up for funerals in a fit of rage
while we sagged our pants, added slang to the sh-t we say
our empathy only extends to when we gettin’ paid
center ourselves, feelin’ odd with no even edges
and while we go off, they got ronald to keep em restless
it’s all interconnected, cause imminent pressure
f-ck a safe sp-ce, just launch into the nexus
and get to paying attention
cuz britain stole africa
then enslaved all the children to get the labour expensed
so please understand, it’s not your motherf-cking burden
to educate my perspective
you don’t walk around the world with no reparations embedded
and you can’t expect to get nothing back from these f-cking crackers
‘cept pent up hatred and fear
and detonation of ghettos that’s predicated on tears
separation of class and incrementalists pushing they legislation for fear
know your dedication and worth is bigger than any part of the melanin in the mirror
