Lyrics
Verse 1:
I got somn to say
And you aint making me believe
I been hearing this for some years
Its not gon end cheap
You dont want me with him
You cant stand the colour of his skin
He look so impure, hell use me for sure
Thats what you say
Pre-chorus:
If his hairs not straight then he wont treat me great
I can do better, for you, thats what you think
This belief embedded in your hearts
It wont change
Now Ive put you to shame
Chorus:
I been running from these past notions
They dont want me choose someone like you
They think Im blind and Im a fool
But I dont see you through their view
View, view, view
View
Verse 2:
I dont live up to the ideal of their women
Just stick to your kind, just choose a better man
Youve contaminated us, defied something sacred
Hes no good for you and I disapprove
But I dont wanna hurt nobody
My love for you is completely real
Their thoughts are their own, they wont face this
Same old values in a new time space
Pre-chorus
If his hairs not straight then he wont treat me great
I can do better, for you, thats what you think
This belief embedded in your hearts
It wont change
Now Ive put you to shame
Chorus:
I been running from these past notions
They dont want me choose someone like you
They think Im blind and they think Im a fool
A fool for you
But I dont see you through their view
View, view, view
View
Outro:
And Ill say that Im thinking out loud
Ive let you in now
And Ive convinced myself that Im supposed to change your thoughts
Am I supposed to be the one to stay and change your hearts?
Oh no, I am, Im putting it all
On myself
What if I am the catalyst?
Oh God, can You show me
What my purpose is?
