Eye to eye, but they don't see me
Listen the don't hear me
It’s the same story again and again
"Be you", "Be different"
All in the mix of being looked down upon
Because to them I'm the whitest of the blacks
Fell in love because no one else would get love back
She can do better, probably ,but I'm changing like the weather
My moms like to strike me, because I'm hard headed
Bold face lie I don't care about others
It’s the truth.
If it’s not about me why would I care?
Share? What my feelings? I rather not
Hold them in a lot
Laugh out loud while I smile and bleed internally
My friends don't notice my mentality
The reason I am the way I am I lack confidence
Don’t need any compliments for my accomplishments
Not like Bellarmine offering me a scholarship 
I feel myself becoming overdeveloped
Mellow when I'm at my lowest, I’m impatient at my highest
What you providing, realism? Remember this thing called live and learn
I don't need forgiveness
Never needed a baptism
Bread and blood, nope I got music and love
Basically that’s all I need
Family I rarely want it
I know they say blood thicker than water, but I know family that wouldn't give me water if I was burning
Came to a realization be true to you, be honest and wise
Never compromise with who you despise
I hate me, is it too late
I could change one day
The mask I wear like Greek plays
Change for drama as we speak and age
Not obvious enough, but music my legacy
I bonded myself with ink no tattoos
Speak about anything like we changed the definition of taboo ?
