lirik lagu bylwansta – grey
[verse 1: bylwansta]
excuse mam’, could i please just speak to you for a minute?
my name is dominic, i know that you don’t know me but listen, i know there’s something that bothers you
cause it bothers me too
i know it does, cause i can see it in the change in your mood, now i know what you’re thinking
your face tells me that you’re disgusted
i know what i’m about to say it’s, probably been discussed
i never came to disrespect you
but i truly expect you to listen
because i’m hopelessly hoping this will affect you
i don’t mean to waste your time, but mam
i just want to tell bout this girl who’s always on my mind
we met on campus, and since
it’s been nothing less than a pleasure
she’s the only reason that i look forward to this semester
when we got together, we got to know each other pretty quick she doesn’t know my language
so it’s pretty crazy how we clicked
she tells me everything
she told me how durban just changed everything
she told me leaving home is the way she escaped the scary things
she told me bout her past, told me bout her depression
told me she likes the colour black it’s like an obsession but
i’ve always thought it’s deeper than that
cause when you’re all alone, surrounded by darkness
the only image in your vision is black
she tells me everything
she mentioned you, how you’re killing that single parent thing, the baggage that you’re carrying
she thinks that i could help, but she told me that you don’t think so
she told me that you hate me, it’s all because of my skin tone
[chorus: kimosabe]
i’m sorry miss lady
if i’m not the one you want for her
i promise not to make your daughter cry
i always keep her warm when it’s cold at night
i’m sorry miss lady
i wish you could read between the lines
she said she loves my nappy headed self
i just wish that would wish us well
[verse 2: bylwansta]
i couldn’t believe it
when she broke it to me, the words she had spoken to me
i promise i couldn’t receive it
your daughter she needs me
it just makes me sick to my stomach
i didn’t see it coming
now all of a sudden you just want her to leave me?
i said i love her, you don’t believe me?
i’m so confused
do black people really make you so bl–dy uneasy?
if it were up to you, i’d probably never have her
cause it probably kills you that your daughter’s dating a kaffir right?
i can’t believe you’re just ignoring her happiness
just because i make her the happiest?
i just wanna care for her
i just have to occupy, all of these empty sp-ces
left by her father that wasn’t there for her
you know what? this problem is bigger than you and i
i wouldn’t be surprised if you decided to fly
to america, just to be watching my people die
it’ll probably be too late by the time that you realize
what it really is, that you’re busy you tryna destroy
cause you’re denying her happiness, you’re denying her joy
you wanna jeopardize her future all because of a boy
a boy that you don’t even know but has you so d-mn annoyed, please forgive me mam’, for raising my voice
your daughter said i shouldn’t speak to you
but i feel i did not have a choice
and so i’m here now
cause i really don’t want to hate you mam
i just want to make you understand
[chorus: kimosabe]
i’m sorry miss lady
if i’m not the one you want for her
i promise not to make your daughter cry
i always keep her warm when it’s cold at night
i’m sorry miss lady
i wish you could read between the lines
she said she loves my nappy headed self
i just wish that would wish us well x2
