Mic Brim - The Conversation

Aye yo I had to be nice at ballin and rhymin just to feel like I could fit in
Had to make everybody believe I was walking around with thick skin
Had to take all the jokes from who the folk who looked like me cause I was too light
The judgement from the others for anytime I ain't do right
The Do me a favor thank your mother for raising you rights
The girls wouldn't talk to me thinking I only choose white
And I ain't get it but I felt it and I ain't like it
Anytime I was slighted
By either side it
Was silence
Awkward
I member movin to Vegas
Soon as neighbor's kids would see me they'd run in the house to avoid the threat of violence
Yo I was fuckin' 9
And they was even younger Apparently it's never too early to corrupt a mind
How was it possible for my skin to be such a crime
I'm bettin they grew up telling people they're color blind
It's no shade
We're all products
My only hope was that their environment eventually opened up as much as mine
You know you just gotta get out to see what up sometimes
I need to take my own advice, but I'm an extroverted introvert
So if you happen to see me out.
Yeah I'm good but more than likely I'd rather be in the house
And that's not the result of the pandemic
It's just that I got everything the streets have for me with my spouse
Mary and Meth would be proud
This ain't something people thought they would ever see
And I can't even credit me
In full
It's been a joint effort see
Life is just sorta different when you're moving collectively
This is ecstasy
From inception to pregnancy
To the wedding week
Every reason to second guess whether we
Made the right move
We addressed it together
Even separately
We always had telepathy
What's better to dedicate your life to
Than that kind of love
Never even dreamt it
If you have but still ain't found it I empathize with the resentment
But chill
Please
When it's drama I'm in a different bag
Much as I love momma she ain't even get a pass
I've learned when it's
A matter of peace the people disturbing it
Usually don't care about if they burn bridges
I know it's ludicrous
That's why I don't tolerate no foolishness
I gotta love me enough to not let people try to pretend they never knew the risk
And that goes for everybody I'm an inclusionist
Can't set a boundary just to make an exception unless you're cool with it
Creatin' a mess that's ultimately left for you to fix
Just 'cause you can fit more
Baggage don't mean it's something you need to be equipped for
Personal space is sacred
Like I'm the type to give MORE room than 6
And if it's wrong I'm comfortable being guilty now
I just paid off one of the biggest problems I've ever had and I'm still in doubt
I'm tryna see what this healing bout
Cause every time I'm chilling out
Minding my business somebody's tryna bring the villain out
And my patience ain't something NOBODY tryna get real about
I let it all slide
I could pull a billie out
Hand it over and it'll still amount
To nothin
You would just come up with something else to send a bill about
Even when your cup is full you find a way to spill it out
On me
And I just wanna be as unbothered as my wife
It don't even affect her life if it ain't something she would kill about
But you just gotta take me as I am though
Gotta understand those
Triggers
You can't go
Screaming 'bout reform when you gave me the handful
Of ammo
You can't pose
As the victim while really being the sickness
Then demonize the antidote
Sidebar: Democrats Republicans – cancel both
Matter of fact let's add to that cause too often
These politicians do nothin but talk and
Then when they do act
More people suffer because of it than they benefit from it
See Dems like to use traps
They be front and center for votes when the right is wrong
But anytime you look to the left for leadership that's when they scoot back
I ain't got no issue with guns just who you shoot em at
You don't care about life once it's out of the womb in fact
Lot of y'all aborted before so we know you're cool with that
That's not an indictment just tryna make sure we doin facts
Lawmakers pay for the mistresses to go through with that
Then it's Bible grabbing and gathering for a group attack
Newsflash
They don't want us talkin about it but everything that they're voting for
Is meant to return us to the past
The mirror's reflecting the threat to your children
The real danger – the prejudicial weapon you're wielding
I mean the nerve
Y'all wanna regulate gender
While you're in the midst of your own transgression concealment
I will not be judged by the likes of you
Don't even bother talkin' to me 'bout what Christ would do
You ain't got the slightest clue
Someone really gave their life for you
To tell me what I got the right to do
Aight I'm through
