Told

I’m in middle of the yard (yard x4)
I didn’t get picked again, I tell myself its not my fault
You don’t know what I have going on, (no you don’t)
I’ll surprise you with my skills
Call me unique that’s not enough
I’ve blamed myself cos of religion, then I
Spoon fed myself with all your views I did listen
Till I saw my birds eye view, my perspective
I feel safe in knowing the unknown
Love is real, now I can say I’m not just clinging on
Still the fight is so raw I can’t talk to my blood are they shamed I’m armoured
Is it my fault?
What am I running from?
It’s not enough
To forget that we are living
Humans can be forgiving
I’m grateful for where I’m living
Still a chunk aren’t so willing

I did not think that
My nerves would shake me up this good so it should
I burn I’m convicted, so deep
No turning back its my truth
Yes, it’s true

Them words on the tip of my tongue
For many years feels so long
Didn’t understand what was going on so I blended to belong I know there’s bigger things going on around me
When it takes over, it’s all I’m ever thinking
I say hold on, the world is evolving
I’m lost, why would you shoot at us
At people, judge them that’s not love
Ignorant I was once taught
Now I chose to think
It’s common sense, its my heart
Slow it down, back it right up
We can ooh to this groove
My music will do that, with you I will do that

I did not think that
My nerves would shake me up this good so it should
I burn I’m convicted, so deep
No turning back its my truth
Yes, it’s true
