Tunde Olaniran Brown Boy
[Verse 1:]
Trynna figure out who I am
What to be
But it's just no happening
Lights on; I look around
Check out my surroundings
Steady breaking through until I get understood
Try to stop me; get a splinter
Cuz I'm like “I wish they would/wood”
In a barrel they're found
Kill each other for the crown
But when I come through your town?
Break it up! I shut it down
It's like everytime I try to get a view
They throwin shade
Damn, what's a Brown Kid to do?
So instead I put them suckas on blast
And you can tell them man that he can kiss my ass
[Hook:]
I'm every single thing you think of me
I'm a sinner, killer, drug dealer, refugee
So keep your jaw locked and I'll keep the peace
They act like they don't wanna but man you know me
I'm a Brown Boy
[Verse 2:]
Trynna figure out what to do, what's true
Think of any way that I can break through
Or what, I can give
Be sure I can find it
Left of the center is where I spend my time
I need to brave enough to leave the peace behind
'cause I could be charred up in a barbecue
Still come out and not be black enough for you
And then these questions; they can really trip me up
Especially when they prove to be real tough, like
"Can I be a man?"
"Can I not love?"
Pledge allegiance to the flag of revelation
[Hook]
[Bridge:]
What else can I give?
I can't let go
What else can I give?
I won't say no
[Hook]
