Brandon Vee - Why

I'm only human like Pete Parker at the daily bugle
They say I turned hollow to the point that's why I shoot through
Fabrications always connected like bluetooths
Imagine I spoke to
The younger me barely eating eating fruit loops
Stay on your toes like skinny Russians too too toos
And everything that try told you
Was part of the whole in total
They silenced the part that's vocal
The one that just kept em hopeful
ideas of the world killed it and now they owe you
Don't they owe you for all the fear they instilled you
They failed at living dreams and so they just passed it down to you
You live a life not meant for you now who's accountable
Cuz happiness everything they told me ain't compatible
My daughters woke me and told me daddy it's hard sleep
said the darkness and monsters they always wait for me
Shhhh hush little babies there's no need to
Cuz all the real monsters in life are just people

I never saw a country love itself so much
And at the same time hurt the people who have had enough
Show me a man who refuses all the history
I'll show you a man who doesn't understand the victory
Of inner self and so they pushing right down to me
Spending my money on jewelry cuz I eat free
Whispered society judging while they look at me
While kicking immigrants out is that contradictory
Murdered a race of people and called it destiny
Tortured and stripped my people of identity
Give me your tired and give me your weak
The Statue of Liberty
Turned green is a reflection of the greed
If we are democratic why they always scared of we
Promote free speech why can't a nigga take a knee
Looking at another country like that's where I wanna be
Running from the very country birthed the idea free


Half naked pictures on Instagram
Seeking attention you can't tell me that is not your plan
I see the pressure that society that came from man
That showed what is beauty surgeries a couple grand
power of a woman and her beauties undeniable
I came from a woman to judge you I'm not entitled to
Seeking vindication of something you can't tell yourself
I love all my women but first you just gotta love yourself
