lirik lagu leel da vinci – priviledge
[verse 1]
im not as privileged as you
cause my skin black as tar compared to you
and my hair not as soft compared to you
they watch my mannerism compared to you
d-mn i’m always compared to you
and i’m just a statistic
there is a target on my back in which they aim their ballistics
cause they believed that i fit the description
i’m too d-mn black for the black folks
cause they be making all the you too d-mn black jokes
haha sometimes i laugh though
and laughter the only medicine that i know
and they mesmerized by the aquamarine in your eyes
my eyes too dark they can see their demons in mine
i enter a store they -ssume i’m committing a crime
and they follow me around until i go outside
and d-mn i wish that i can be like you
they automatically believe that your words is the truth
i need a whole investigation if they have no proof
you might see me on the news like the media needed a scoop
just know my hands was up he just wanted to shoot
my pants saggin’ oh i’m a criminal
belt on oh i wanna be professional
black lives matter – oh no f-ck that sh-t
they want me ignorant
not colin kaepernick
gun money drugs my 21 savage sh-t
cuz they dont want me at the top just salvaging
bottom feeding they want me to be contained
i’m breaking every shackles i’m no longer a slave its just
[chorus 1]
i am not privileged as you
my skin not as light like you
wish my hair less nappy like you
wish my skin less black like you
nah you not as privileged as me
and you just wanna be like me
you envy me get fueled with jealousy
that’s why you dropped ya margarita picked up the hennessy (eh)
you wanna have swag like me
try to copy my dialect and spit the slang like me
you want your hair nappy like me
i got the dreadlocks and the conrows you want those
but you can’t get it is that why they get denied at your jobs for
why you gotta follow me around the d-mn store
i guess you tryna mimic my walk
do you look inside the mirror to mimic the way that i talk
i’m not beautiful my skin too dark
but you skin tanning cause you tryna get lil’ dark
melanin can’t be recreated so d-mn easily
why the animosity can’t you show some decency
you talking to the nappy headed b-st-rd am i coming of too strong
i’m tryna liberate my people like a young toussaint
oh you tryna sell me short cause my d-ck too long
oh you tryna son me cause you think my daddy gone
you always tryna be like me
but there can’t be two thats why you always tryna snitch on me
and you not as privileged as me
my culture runs deeper than yours through out history
i got more milestones through out history
can’t be mixed with my existence to become one ent-ty
you appalled my existence and my physique
dont gotta reveal your motives we all know that
[chorus 2]
you not as privileged as me
wish your skin wasn’t lighter than me
wish your hair was more nappy like me
and wish your skin was more black like me
and you not as privileged as me
wish your skin wasn’t lighter than me
and wish your hair was more nappy like me
and wish your skin was more black like me
