Picture little me watching the TV screen Just imagine seeing Eddie Murphy in a scene Imagine how I wanted to be the media man To make it a reign, see the 90's were crazy Just young kids addicted to the Mega Drive Then came the Nintendo 65, damn what a time 96 Michael Jordan was jamming his face But I can never forget 98, Wesley Snap playing Blade Back when Marvel was underrated and needed The black man to Eddy Vader, see I always ask myself Why comic nerds never debated But that's just what it's like to be melanated Growing up all the superheroes were white But my heroes were real life, my heroes were Life, They could spit on the mic, I don't mean they could rap I mean they could philosophize That's why I fell in love with Vegeta, Goku, Bruce Lee, Socrates and Nas See I didn't see the pigment, cause I still love Michael Jackson Whether he was black or white, see as a kid I loved my face in the mirror Before I experienced colourism, a black person telling me I was too black for them Yeah that sounds blasphemous, but that was 5 years before I encountered my first day with racism Now I couldn't understand, cause my family Was multicultural I evolved into Congolese, Lebanese, every type of creed that there is Now picture me, 11 years old getting jumped by 7 kids that were taught that black was the enemy While my teacher stayed steady, watching like a referee See these kids were anywhere from 13 to 17 So I grabbed onto Connor's neck then started strangling In hopes that they would stop, if not I would have killed them like they did Stephen Lawrence in 93 How ironic, I was out in the street, 2020 screaming I can't breathe The moral of this story is my story ain't one in a million There's a million stories like mine, so I wonder in time If my kin, human beings can see me as their kind Now let me decipher the glitch, the hieroglyphs so you can see through the matrix Now back from speaking in codes, my genome black kings Black emperors, black sultans and black pharaohs But if you open your mind you can see me through Your iris and auras God like with my aura, where the cold be I'm a different animal but the same beast See educated man only see the world through The things that they read But wise men can see through the deceit Understanding that flora and fauna got all the information that you see But not all things are seen, some things you have to feel So in order to understand where I'm coming from You gotta feel it through my eyes Go deep, submerge, feel my core so you can know what it's like I said go deep, submerge, go to my core so you can know what it's like I know with eye for an eye make the whole world blind Wish you could see through my pain Wish you could see through my eyes Wish you could see through my pain Wish you could see through my eyes
