Kuro Gold - Cause of Matter

Sometimes I feel like you tryna keep us small
Cause our culture makes you feel threatened
Like we ain't human beings no we trade with the devil
But better know our grudges will last forever
Remember doin' shit won't ever make things get better

I close my eyes hear our ancestors crying from heaven
No changes at all, after all that has happened
Who is suffering is us you could tryna understand
But rather claim that all we're good for is to make a fuss at hand

Too many act like everything's alright
Then how come every black girl gotta learn to defend her pride
How come black children would rather choose to be white
Instead off suffering this torture every day and night
Why don't I feel equal even though I'm native as you
You can do what you want but we got a face to lose

Tears turned to blood that dries on the concrete
And if I criticize the system you say go back to your country

We just tryna chill
We just tryna eat
Living our lives
Man we 2 are free

But after all the difference is upon my skin
We're not the same we, me and my kin
What are we to you what have we been
Tell me what the fuck is wrong with our skin
Man it's coming from the roof, you know that I tell the truth
And I'm starting at the basement tryna keep down my resentments

To walk on par with our fellow neighbors
Savour our lives in every kind and flavour
Dr. King had a dream, I'm dreaming on for my savior
And I truly understand my senior Malcom's anger

You don't know how it is
Growing up under conflicts
With people treating you badly showin' you that you don't fit
Sure we all are the same but I ain't feeling it
Not for myself and not a bid
See my mum has this anxieties
She has to spend her time with these
When I leave her, I leave her in tension she won't mention please
Just let him come home, dear lord let him return safe to me
Not everyone is bad but every one is a threat to me

So many've been left in grievance
Too much pain no exist no redemence
Who's gone is gone
Nothing to hold on
Black and white, right and wrong
I'm dreaming on through the down

We just tryna chill
We just tryna eat
Living our lives
Man we 2 are free

But after all the difference is upon my skin
We're not the same we, me and my kin
What are we to you what have we been
Tell me what the fuck is wrong with our skin
Man it's coming from the roof, you know i tell the truth
And I'm starting at the basement tryna keep down my resentments
