My tears, my pain,
Do you see me?
I'm over here!
Can you hear me?
My cries, my lies-- Suprise!

I'm shaking here!
How was I supposed to know it was so bad to be educated and black?
Do I really intimidate you to the point of you trying to hold me back?
All I've tried to do was make something out of $5 and a dream,

But I always knew
I’d find you somehow
Still, the cease of
the smile on my face

Clunk clunk, clunk clunk goes one shoe then the other on the pavement.
The wind pushing against me.
I’m steadily gaining speed now; building up adrenaline.
