letra de perspectives - lilly skye tucker ft ballin_w_mimi

she’s probably good at math, she probably aced the class
she probably never kissed a boy, she probably smells of trash
they saw her walking past the lockers, all the kids would laugh
any given chance, the kids would call her yandere chan
but what if she was actually mad, and she was from us
and what if actually that was me, i’m actually into rap
…..yeah
i have a friend, he’s cuban, my other friend is jewish
but giving all these labels to my friends is pretty useless
we’re all connected, еvery color, creed, race or s-x
thе only way i gain perspective: if my judgment’s laid to rest
’cause all we want is some respect, they put that on my name
i’m balling every day to be the hottest in the game
my skin and face will never change, that’s just the way i’m made
i know that every life is beautiful, i’ll never be ashamed

my hair nappy, my skin golden
my mom white, my dad black, so i don’t know where to fit
they say i’m mixed, but why i gotta be that or be this
can’t they ask me about my dreams or where i plan to be next
for real, i hate the fact they say i’m pretty for a black girl
always want to touch my hair, when i rock it natural
and what is black anyway? i thought it was a color
we come in many shades, unique and different from each other
were all beautiful look up in the mirror tell yourself that your a star never let somebody make you feel like you ain’t perfect just the way you are

yo, i know this is a hard topic. don’t let other people define you. be true to yourself
never let somebody make you feel like you ain’t perfect just the way you are…

ivory complexion, but she didn’t notice
at 9 years old, penning prose, man, that little poet
knew her brothers were her brothers, couldn’t really see color
until she saw the world, and the scope of it made her shudder
privilege handed out like grades on a test
but only handed to humans with pale flesh?
someone’s right to achieve shouldn’t be stifled by greed
seeing systematic oppression made her fall to her knees
well, that girl grew up, and she started to teach
to break the silence, break the cycle, kept her heart to the streets
a few years later, still using art in her speak, still preaching peace
that little poet was me

and when they ask me where i’m from, i tell them that i’m from planet earth
the only place i’ve been since my mother gave me birth
government categorized society, made it just worse
separated people all over the world taking their turf
and if you ask me my race, i might run, yeah
obama ran for president, running is quite fun
either african-american, but africa’s not in america
or black, which is a color, and i’m not one
but, they tell me check one on applications
instead of race, you should judge me as a person
proud to be black, but play my race card smarter
race is a tool they used to divide and conquer

(2x) were all beautiful look up in the mirror tell yourself that your a star never let somebody make you feel like you ain’t perfect just the way you are
