I'm not black. I'm a Hispanic girl but I still feel the lyrics so strongly. Im currently in a relationship with a white guy and he doesn't like my race. I realized this no too long ago. I feel incredibly inferior. I feel like the "black swan" when im around his family and white washed friends. I am building up the courage to breakup with him rn. This song is like a reminder that it's normal to feel belittled. I break sometimes, I hate that i'm not white sometimes. I know i shouldnt, but when youre constantly being told you are less than because of your race, it hurts. i'm getting therapy for this soon hopefully.
2:19 What's it like where you are from? Are you just a heart attack Buy one up and make it your home Apparitions of your love Have you seen them falling short
Nothing lasts forever, and I told you Everything you need to know that's not true Lyin' to myself because it hurts you Waitin' for the simple chance to come through I've been known to hide within my own walls Jewelry in my ice so that I don't fall Onto higher prices, and escape with All my ice intact, and who am I to kid? Pound of flesh, and yeah, I'm still kickin' (What? See) but now I'm stupid Fears because the past and future scare me Ridin' out to Venice with a nosebleed I stood before the waves and prayed to be clean But dirty in my mind, I don't turn green, uh This is everything you ever wanted Cryin' for the ones I lost in '18 IG3, 2-0-1-4, unhappy Nothing ever makes you get past it Thirty-three and stuck stop thinkin' Fine with this and I keep on spendin', uh Shower my beliefs with ice melting Losin' touch of everything I know Prayin' for my heart to turn to stone Bandana tied around my broken skull Ice around my wrist, my touch is cold Losin' touch of everything I know Prayin' for my heart to turn to stone Bandana tied around my broken skull Ice around my wrist, my touch is cold Don't be actin' dumb, cookie's gonna crumble Wipin' up the crumbs, I do this shit casual Happens all the time, plus I'm dark and handsome Shit broken by design, it's a tantrum Losin' touch of everything I know Prayin' for my heart to turn to stone Bandana tied around my broken skull Ice around my wrist, my touch is cold
Dev, you ain’t gonna convince me you didn’t know more about Diddy. But hey, as long as you get to compose music for designer shows you don’t mind not saying a thing, don’t ya.
Can you redo this song without that piece of shit that goes by “Diddy.” Always hated him; could never enjoy this song fully with his babbling nonsense.
I can tell you he’s in a whole new space right here. . He doesn’t know if he can handle it….too bad he’s a grown man and has already decided the turmoil
finding this song as a white guy is like walking into a shady soul-food restaurant in the part of town they tell you not to go to, and having the best meal of your life.
Only 15 commenter is insane i just recently discovered blood orange and I fell in LOVE with his music. It makes me feel like I’m gonna be okay and that I’m going to heal❤
