Too Black MAG
Yesterday I saw myself
But through the eyes of someone else ...
Only I didn't laugh when you did.
Yesterday the world spat at me
Because of my nappy hair and big lips ...
Only I didn't point when you did.
Yesterday they chased me
And I ran and ran 'til I barely got away ...
Only I didn't stop when you did.
I saw destruction and corruption
I felt evasion and damnation.
Yesterday the world was murdered because of her ignorance ...
Only I didn't die when you did
'Cause I'm too smart,
Too beautiful,
Too fast
Baby, I'm too black!
