Your Truth (feat. Steph, The Sapphic Songstress)

[Hook: Steph, the Songstress]
It's amazing when you know
It's the moment when you grow
Everything changes
Your thinking rearranges
Your mind sees a different view
Through the eyes of a new you
See the light, the sacrifice
You realize your place in life
Amazing when you know
It's the moment when you grow
Everything changes
Your thinking rearranges
Your mind sees a different view
Through the eyes of a new you
See the light and realize
Your place in life
What a feeling
[Verse 1]
To live a lie isn’t living
You gotta live the life you been given
However you decide to the ending
You try’na make it like you envisioned
Use to run and hide, use to wanna die
‘Nuff tears cried we could swim in
True self denied, no self pride
Like you’re locked inside your own prison
Try’na fight loose when they bind you
So you’re free enough to go find you
Got enough to say to write a novel
But they’re limiting you to a Haiku
They’ll condemn you with their bibles
Tried to kill you with their rifles
Even hold you down with their titles
Some of us hide for survival
When you really know who you are
What another thinks shouldn’t concern you
But of course this is still hard
When a person intends to hurt you
Freedom comes with risk... no love without war
What you thinkin’ buddy, gonna take it from me?
Have to kick down my door
‘Cause my vision hasn’t been clearer
I am on a mission now I don’t fear much
I won’t give in now, and I’m grinning proud
When I see the man in the mirror
So I welcome change like it seldom came
Very interested in what tomorrow brings
Getting all this pain, slowly off my brain
Now I see that there is so much more to gain
[Hook]
[Verse 2]
Some call you black , Some call you weird
Some call you artist, Some call you queer
Some never call, Some are in fear
Some, when you speak, will never lend an ear
Some, when you need, will never lend a hand
Some are simply here to sabotage your plan
Some call you different
Some call you fam
Their the sum of anyone that understands
Come as you are, and they love you
Couldn’t live false if you wanted to
What’s in your heart, can’t undo
Come too far, shouldn’t shun truth
I had to run to another city, to find my true self what a pity
Where they embrace diversity
And don’t try changed you with scrutiny
Because the skin of me and my kin is known to offend
And treated as sin
But black is beautiful and always in
That’s the way feel, I can’t play pretend
That don’t make me better that just mean I love me
In a world that loves to paint us ugly
Can’t believe we live in a country
That tells you who you love is disgusting
Thought we lived in a free state
But that’s clearly up for debate
I don’t speak hate, I won’t behave
I don’t give a damn if you relate
I just want peace for the peaceful
And the haters too ‘cause we equal
For I leave you, I really need you
To live your own truth, for my people SING...
