Haviah Mighty - In Women Colour lyrics

If I was taller, you would run from me huh If I wasn’t balling I couldn’t be your cup of tea huh I mean, what if I wasn’t somebody huh Since rapping makes you so uncomfortable huh You’d never actually f** me huh They used to say I’m too loud, but that’s cool now Love my skin, always been proud, guess that’s in now They used to say I’m too black, with that crude rap And I courier the boom bap over new trap Hmm, we’re in your maze Before they called us monkey n***as Where are those days? That cotton picking f**ing wit em’ Where are those slaves? I want em’ on the rise like varicose veins Hmm, yeah I’m darker than my friends And finally they see it and they start to get the trend I gotta do 2 times more to get 4 times less But it’s cool ‘cause I’m sharper in the end Still, let’s talk about it About the fact I got commercial appeal So ultimately, it’s them dollars that be turning the wheel Most my homies, they want gold and not that surgical steel They wanna make more than we currently will I mean I get it, I’m trying to stack stack stack All of the coin coin coin I love that I’m black black black So f** all that noise noise noise Boing boing boing Lady parts but I’m fierce This a daily dart from my fears Issa lazy start from my peers Imma pave a pond with my tears I gotta interrupt the service I gotta switch it up, I gotta think below the surface They dropping they change, I’m picking up the purses History deserted, huh You think I’m proud to be a**ociated with you I don't need sh** And most importantly I don’t need you Need you ... All my life I hung with the man dem Yeah - sometimes they gotta let you know that you different, I used to Point guard, set the play on some ball sh** Poised tall, 7th grade, still a small shrimp We was running, we was shooting and um This one boy was moving ruder than he usually does At one point, he threw my ball over my reach I’m talking way down the street, like 45 feet I f**ing stepped, like is you serious n***a This ain’t the end, there ain’t no period n***a This is a mess, I ain’t inferior n***a Bruh I stepped to him cleanly So he cuffed by the neck and he beat me I shrug about it now Its just my struggle with the power divide Cause even as little kids, he told me with his hand around me That all the other boys don’t never wanna hang around me And they don’t f** with tom boys, it’s a squad of small boys He was swinging hard like I ain’t have my dad around me Like I ain’t always have my sisters and my fam around me Side eye how them n***as used to act around me Looking back, I ain’t have a fat a** around me Still I levelled up, I always had that ladder round me Now I’m rocking big stages and they gather round me I got nothing but them groupies and them fans around me Oh say can you see by the dawns early light that I’m proud like the star spangled banner round me Shorty gloss like that laquer ‘round me More a boss than the mans around me Lil n***a couldn’t shake me Lil n***a couldn’t break me Nah Lil n***a couldn’t shake me Lil n***a couldn’t break me
