Reasons Not To
You say you want to date me, but I think you might hate me
And when you hear what I speak, I think you might just agree
I'll give you 3 reasons, just listen, you'll see
1) I refuse to be your black token, my words are too cleverly spoken, and mind far too awoken
I'm pretty for a black girl? Your words are revolting, like what in the world do you have to be smoking
If that's a compliment, then I must be incompetent, because the last time I checked I wasn't out for your acknowledgment
I am NOT your acomplishment.
2) I'm a hypocrite like everyone else
Sorry if you thought I was different, sorry if I ruined your interest, even though I'm really not
I think of myself as efficient and sometimes magnificent
even though I'm not all that significant, kinda ignorant, and sometimes bad at commitment
3) I'm honest to a fault (If you haven't noticed), people exalt that my words feel like assault
I'm just trying to help, I promise. I mean, nobody's flawless or a goddess, so let's just decrease the drama
I'll always tell you exactly how I feel
To you, every ordeal I will reveal, I see no reason for it to be concealed
And while that may not b e to your appeal, and maybe not ideal, I refuse to stop being real.
