[Verse 1]

I'm proud to be Black and I'm proud to be Arab

I've been given life when I thought life was barren

I'm proud of my mother whose roots are Latin

Who told me that life should be lived with compassion

Monotonous beings obsessed with conformity

Judging me 'cause I don't live my life normally

Mad 'cause the bandaids I've worn have been ripped off

Fuck all that Kool-Aid that y'all have been sipped off

Our age is all about propaganda

Fascism and slander

The more we convince you to hate people

Somehow equates to the more you have manners

They ain't cracked the code, no Da Vinci

Brainwashing the soul can't convince me

That I'm a follower, have no identity

Try and indict me, I'm guilty of felonies


[Chorus 1]

My eyes never will be wide shut

Donnie Darko, eyes cut

Angels and demons just for the clarity

I bring the anarchy to the severity

Angels lined up, blowing trumpets

Bitches obsessed with tea and crumpets

Can't hear the message I'm tryna encompass

I guess they are fine living as puppets


[Verse 2]

I've been told that I'm being dramatic

Oppression is real, it's systematic

What about those who've been raped and pillaged

All for the gain of those thriving in privilege

The standard has told all these beautiful

Individuals that they're not suitable

They cannot be natural and mutable

But really that shit is disputable

Charles Manson, I ain't never had a family

Speak the truth, bitches think uncannily

Raised by the streets, they callin' it vanity

Refusin' to see that Heaven's gate is a fantasy

I'll break free, will not be a prisoner

Of these patriarchal practitioners

What is the reason? I'm the inquisitor

Fuck all these [?] shady partitioners


[Instrumental Interlude]


[Verse 3]

All my life, I wanted serenity

Piece of Heaven, my own identity

Adopted at birth, never knowing my parents

Man, that shit fucked me up mentally

Even worse, when my dad walked out

Packed his shit, took the food out my mouth

I still hear my mom screaming loud

Pierced ears, echoes through the house

Friends? Man, you funny

All those niggas wanted was money

They knew my mother was stacked

In reality, I was a dummy

Followed in stores, watched on a camera

No matter how correct my grammar

I swear I'm educated

All my life was lacking was glamor


[Chorus 1]

(My eyes never) will be wide shut

(Donnie Darko) eyes cut

(Angels and demons) just for the clarity

(I bring the anarchy) to the severity

(Angels lined up) blowing trumpets

(Bitches obsessed) with tea and crumpets

(Can't hear the message) I'm tryna encompass

(I guess they are fine)—

I'ma stop being nice!


[Verse 4]

People expect me to apologize

For not fittin' the paradigms

Bitches obsessed with all my success

Y'all bitches blind, put on them lenses

See through my eyes, look at my body

So many scars, but I am Parvati

Fightin' this battle, your work ethic's body

Don't want the smoke, I'll give you a [?]

You know the struggles of being ugly

In the world's eyes, isn't that lovely

Still walk around and acting all bubbly

Wishin' that someone would shut up and hug me

This obsession with passing normal

Is stupid, I'd rather be informal

Taking this culture straight to the oral

That shit just makes me wanna quarrel


[Chorus 2]

(My eyes never) will be wide shut

(Donnie Darko) eyes cut

(Angels and demons) just for the clarity

(I bring the anarchy) to the severity

We need the change (And we know it)

Humanity has a chance (Don't blow it)

Just light the match (Don't throw it)

The world's too gassed (You know it)


[Outro]

I'm just gonna let this fucking beat play for another few bars so y'all can let this shit set in

Do you feel it?

Do you fucking feel it?

Y'all never feel it

So shut the fuck up

And sit the fuck down

I'm tired of you fucking clowns
