lirik lagu brittney chantele – labels

[verse 1]
i’ve got a name
and it was once written on my chest
thought i was serving my country
thought i was doing my best
till she asked me some questions
put me to the test
realized my answers were just like the rest
i was sleeping for a bit
i snapped out of it
i got too much to do
to get caught up in this
so don’t thank me for my service
service is not bullets and bombs this i am certain
only bombs of knowledge
like d-mn who am i hurtin’
so i check my palms
i’ll never be a guru
and there’s pros and cons

[hook]
these hands are not for fists
i know of this
other ways to route my anger
president got me p-ssed
we got some sh-t to say
we got some things to change
before we do
ima need you to stop labeling me
we got some sh-t to say
we got some things to change
before we do
ima need you to stop labeling me

[chorus]
is it unsatisfactory
to be who i want to be
try to put me in a box
you ain’t got enough locks
you ain’t got enough labels
it’s time i turn the tables
i’m strong and i am able
i’m grateful
here are my labels

is it unsatisfactory
to be who i want to be
try to put me in a box
you ain’t got enough locks
you ain’t got enough labels
it’s time i turn the tables
i’m strong and i am able
i’m grateful
here are my labels

[verse 2]
immigrants daughter
who’s black your dad or your mother
are you adopted
and how are they your brothers
is you hair real
and are you from here
you don’t look like us
so you should disappear
i’ve pretended like i don’t care, care-free
but now i’m turning the tables
something you wanna see
i turned 1, 2, too many cheeks
i didn’t own my blackness till 23
and i’ve learned n-body can take it away from me
these roots are far from supplementary
so treat others how you want to be treated it’s elementary
love and kindness together will remain complementary
representation lacking on mtv
stare at the screen are there people that look like me
but now i’m catching myself owning these things that i feel
took some time to know my feelings are valid and real
stay humble, stay woke, and here’s the deal
the labels and boxes do not appeal

[verse 2]
am i lesbian or am i queer
didn’t know i had to clarify it’s so unclear
cause i do it for attention
it’s not even real
when i kiss her on a date
ruin your evening meal
and i’m going to h-ll
didn’t know you can tell
thought only god could judge
how do you know so much
don’t think he’s cool with being prejudice
people got different definitions of what it just
in a world lacking so much love and trust
i think ‘faith in humanity’ is a must
cause i will love who i love
i will kiss who i kiss
i even got love for you
something i won’t dismiss

[chorus 2]
is it unsatisfactory (we got some sh-t to say, we got some things to change)
to be who i want to be (before we do
ima need you to stop labeling me)
try to put me in a box (we got some sh-t to say, we got some things to change)
you ain’t got enough locks (before we do
ima need you to stop labeling me)
you ain’t got enough labels (we got some sh-t to say, we got some things to change)
it’s time i turn the tables (before we do
ima need you to stop labeling me)
i’m strong and i am able (we got some sh-t to say)
i’m grateful (we got some things to change)
here are my labels (before we do
ima need you to stop labeling me)
