Why do you think I'm always strong
And always so turned up, up
Expectations of me lay so skin deep
As if I can take anything, but who's here to protect me?

Ooh, looking like the sun's going down
Think about the day I feel the pressure come around
Ooh, better shut my mouth
If I say my feelings then they'll say that I'm too loud
Ooh, blend into the crowd
Once the see my color then they'll think that I'm too proud and now
Ooh, they'll think I'm super tough
And made of silver stuff
All while I'm falling apart, yeah, yeah

In the nighttime, I lose it for real (for real)
Watching as my cup overfills
Losing all my sense of what I feel
Yes, I guess I'm broken steel

Maybe I'm just that soft
'Cause you're playing too rough
I am delicate with strengths that I created
For a world that's always taking
Pieces of who I am without anything worth trading

Ooh, looking like the sun's going down
Think about the day I feel the pressure come around
Ooh, better shut my mouth
If I say my feelings then they'll say that I'm too loud
Ooh, blend into the crowd
Once the see my color then they'll think that I'm too proud and now
Ooh, they'll think I'm super tough
And made of silver stuff
All while I'm falling apart, yeah, yeah

In the nighttime, I lose it for real (for real)
Watching as my cup overfills
Losing all my sense of what I feel
Yes, I guess I'm broken steel (yeah)

I bare the weight of the world on my hips
I must be strong, can't simp
I fed the culture off the tit
Created the wave, can't catch my drift
Hide my strength
Talk my shit, they buy my lips
Cry my pain, they mosh to it (I hate y'all)
You wanna defund, I wanna defend
Not the same, can't pretend
Mind of orisha, skin of a heathen
I don't walk in rooms where I'm not greeted, yeah
Try me's treason, yeah, yeah
Smile's deceiving, yeah, yeah
Built this table where I'm seated
If they can manifest destiny, why can't you?
Need a minute to catch your breath, hmm? I need two
Can no longer do the work that they won't do
My race is not my cape, ho
Give me space, I cry too

Broken steel
