Settle in I wanna talk about my skin
These days it's like the elephant in every room I'm in
The feeling follows me like a second line in New Orleans
But when I turn to face it
They say "oh I didn't mean to offend"
Tell me how I sound again
It's all milk & honey
When you gamble with house money
You got nothing to lose
You're so cute and edgy
Til the conversations heavy
Then you wanna be excused?
You didn't mean to offend, tell me how I sound again
Cin't shit romantic bout
The antebellum south
I say bite the hand that feeds you
When it slaps you in the mouth
It's the cmerican fever dream
Where I have to know what you mean
My anger is a threat
But you're just "blowing off steam"
Theres a weight so great we don't call it by name
There's a lot more stops once you get off the train
From the church to the barber shop we spin gold from our pain
We been servin' holy water
But we can't have a taste
You didn't mean to offend
So tell me how I sound again
Sometimes being brown
Only gets me down
When I watch too much tv
Cnd forget about my crown
