Verse 1
Dark skinned & your hair is nappy
Called blackie buy friends & family
Some of those who's skin tone differ
Ignore your name & call you ______
Don't use slang you talk white
Hip hop ain't the only music that you like
Metallica tees on you just don't look right
You ain't gotta be another stereotype
Clothing's life, folks figured out
One look at what you're they know what you're all about
In or out, can't like it all
The illusion of race ain't allowed to fall
A box for yawl and a box for them
River of life, go ahead sink or swim
Embrace being a human of different hue
And let no one's view define you, hey

Hook
You gone walk the way, walk it out now... you gone talk the way, talk it out now... boy girl light or dark you gone be just who you are, who you are now... 2x

Verse 2
Living single, scrolling through mingle
Ain't feeling the club there's to many people
You feel see through, vampire's reflection
And your figure don't scream perfection
That's hard to think, even harder to kill
That's the hardest thing since Dr. Phil
Real recognize real, that's your painful truth
You tired of hearing for a big girl you cute
I know, I ain't never been there
I'm on the other side in a different chair
Ain't dying my hear, don't do my nails
But don't numb your hands, do what you feel, yeah

Hook
You gone walk the way, walk it out now... you gone talk the way, talk it out now... boy girl light or dark you gone be just who you are, who you are now... 2x
