Brown Boy

[Verse 1:] Trynna figure out who I am What to be But it’s just no happening Lights on; I look around Check out my surroundings Steady breaking through until I get understood Try to stop me; get a splinter Cuz I’m like “I wish they would/wood” In a barrel they’re found Kill each other for the crown But when I come through your town? Break it up! I shut it down It’s like everytime I try to get a view They throwin shade Damn, what’s a Brown Kid to do? So instead I put them suckas on blast And you can tell them man that he can kiss my ass [Hook:] I’m every single thing you think of me I’m a sinner, killer, drug dealer, refugee So keep your jaw locked and I’ll keep the peace They act like they don’t wanna but man you know me I’m a Brown Boy [Verse 2:] Trynna figure out what to do, what's true Think of any way that I can break through Or what, I can give Be sure I can find it Left of the center is where I spend my time I need to brave enough to leave the peace behind 'cause I could be charred up in a barbecue Still come out and not be black enough for you And then these questions; they can really trip me up Especially when they prove to be real tough, like "Can I be a man?" "Can I not love?" Pledge allegiance to the flag of revelation [Hook] [Bridge:] What else can I give? I can't let go What else can I give? I won't say no [Hook]
