Boy Named Blue - Little Black Boy

All I've ever wanted was a super power
Little kid who played pretend for a couple hours
That was me
That was then
I was free
Then I'd watch some Cartoon Network
And I'd sit there till my head hurt
And I'd let my imagination take me places without effort
Often peppered with some leopards
Oh you know I love those
Staring at the unknown and laughing like I'm supposed
To
Saying I told you
So
Romeo Juliet
Soon was on my mind
Pretty girls and the rest that was all my life
But I'm a one man tempest
Play Jimi Hendrix
Think he's watching in the heavens
Saying who is this mentioned me
The treachery
Another rapper writing in the 21st century.
Another dreadhead rudimentary
The black boy stereotype
Fit in it nice
But I'm trying to be a variant
I'm terrified of Aryans
And klansmen tryna snatch me up for my arrogance
Like Emmet Till
So I better chill
But I won't stop
And I never will
Yeah I never will

See this the outro I've been writing for a minute
Every word every sentence
I could call it my repentance
See this song's my own therapy
I was so scared of me
I was so scared to be a little black boy
