Kohm - Welcome Home Lyrics

Take you cheek in my palms
I wish my hands were softer for you
Kiss your nose and your eyes
I wish my lips weren't so damn dry

I'm scared of the stars
I'm scared of my scars
I care for the nights
I'm wary from fight

I just wanna hold your hand and make it all better
Play with your hair
You wearing my sweater

Square Space Make it your own

I'm afraid of a lot of things
Heights, spiders, white men in
Hoods with their hair in their
Faces in the back of the
Classroom muttering to themselves
Yeah that shit freaks me out
You ever just been minding
Your own f*cking business
And a white woman looks
Into your eyes and tries
To colonize your mind
Nah that shit is real
The early education system
In America tried to do that
To minorities. like, forcibly
Assimilate people, but with knowledge
Knowledge is f*cking power
And whoever has the power
Controls knowledge
Damn bitch that shit was deep
I didn't mean for that
But y'all gotta f*cking go to class I know I don't go I'm bad with that
I skipped often, but going is important
Gain that knowledge, that f*cking critical theory
Pedagogy within the institutional education setting
Is causing a deficit thinking that is fostering a toxic environment for brown people
And other minoritized individuals
When educators pick what they're gonna teach they are taking their biases
And the biases of like the f*cking U.S and the societal hegemony of it all is f*cked
So we need to dismantle the infrastructure that holds down voices
That shit ain't cool. Schools don't teach critical theory
Because the second we start analyzing the shit around us and really taking it in
Shit's gonna hit the fan

I don't know, I'm just some brown poet in a car writing this on my way to teach
Square Space make it your own
