Kiai - Blasphemy

I've been called so many times now
I've been called the N word
I've been called all sorts
The worst thing is
People who have not been there
Well they, they wouldn't
They wouldn't understand
They wouldn't get it
How hard it is for us
How hard
Because these kids, when they go home
Miss said this, Is that the the black ni-
They're children, they don't know any better
They're children, they don't know any better
That's the worst thing about it
When you have got somebody there
Who cannot actually stick up for you
They're thinking that you're using your colour
For some sort of, I don't know what
Yeah, because there's no one to stick up for you
You're on your own
You're on your own
No, he's being horrible to me
Because of my colour
Why are you not sticking up for me?
Why are you not sticking up for me?
I got a noose around me
Tightening with every moment of silence
I need a licence to kill
So I can feel myself
Double o serving time
looking in mirrors I find
A moving tongue that's tied
A soul that ain't alive
I find reflection unknown
I find a section of hope I lost
How do I know I'm not
A piece of puzzle
Thought I was one in a dozen
Blasphemy
I start to see how that define me
Mistaken identity
Who can I call relating to x
They got gunners on call
Our name on their board
Hide in applause aim when I tour
So I cannot talk or walk
Without living a lie
Beginning to lose my mind
A piece at a time
A piece at a time
Repeat, this a sign of an era
Please lend me your ear so I
Can explain and say
How often I've looked down
The sights of a blind eye
Starting to be reminded I
Was forced to let myself die
People around allowed imagine I
Protest, my family would be next
Inside the storm begin to vex
Subdued so I survive school
Motif silently manifest
I crept in the crypt
Of the demons
Returned with only one feeling
Only one feeling
They're dead to me
Shooters gunna get em
With the loadout
Automatic type with my words
Better hold out
Automatic praying when they hear
Try shoot back
Heat seeking gone miss, I got a cold heart
That a known fact better fall back
Come across me again, you best flee
You done pushed too far
You ain't nothing to me
may I remind that you're dead to me
In my heart lies the true recipe
Unlock it through writing, it therapy
Centuries passed finally asked
Why do I hide my validity
Why do I hide my validity
Blasphemy
Sneak up in your blind spot
Do it for survival
Gotta look both ways
When you speak a mouthful
Turn a blind eye you gon get hit eventually
Don't think I forgot what you did
You're dead to me
Sneak up in your blind spot
Do it for survival
Gotta look both ways
When you speak a mouthful
Turn a blind eye you gon get hit eventually
Don't think I forgot what you did
You're dead to me
Blind spot I'm living
I claim to clear your vision
Who am I to say it
Inside my hands is gods decision
I listen to myself only
Don't need no one else, they phony
Everybody already don told me
I need help, but this me truly
A new leaf that I gon turn
A new man's gunna be birthed
If you knew me then
Best come and get acquainted
Or faded wipe a brother nose
If he come test the best
Best believe I'll go against the rest
But If I don't reply, understand
It's cause I don't play with the dead
Test me but I do not recommend
Tested since birth cause of melanin
11 years in I been running since
To dodge the warden
My mam sent the warnings
I was too busy adoring girls, fame
Trying to impress plain Janes
Trying to live on the same plane
As my peers
But now my vision clear
I'm a stranger to fear it's dead to me
Old self, now is offending me
It be an enemy failing appeal
Shooters gunna get em
With the loadout
Automatic type with my words
Better hold out
Automatic praying when they hear
Try shoot back
Heat seeking gone miss, I got a cold heart
That a known fact better fall back
Come across me again, you best flee
You done pushed too far
You ain't nothing to me
May I remind that you're dead to me
In my heart lies the true recipe
Unlock it through writing, its therapy
Centuries passed finally asked
Why do hide my validity
Blasphemy
Sneak up in your blind spot
Do it for survival
Gotta look both ways
When you speak a mouthful
Turn a blind eye you gon get hit eventually
Don't think I forgot what you did
You're dead to me
Dead to me
Dead to me
I got a noose around me
Tightening with every moment of silence
I need a licence to kill
So I can feel myself
Double o serving time
looking in mirrors I find
A moving tongue that's tied
A soul that ain't alive
I find reflection unknown
I find a section of hope I lost
How do I know I'm not
A piece of puzzle
Thought I was one in a dozen
Blasphemy
I start to see how that define me
In my heart lies the true recipe
Unlock it through writing, it therapy
Centuries passed finally asked
Why do hide my validity
Blasphemy
