People ask me who I am
I say a simple man
I like to think things through
make a simple plan
Step back, relax
try to understand
I'll be the best that I can
be
What it means to be me
and my ethnicity
What I think that it means
and the reality
I like to drink truth
so give me honesty
Real Talk, I'm black
and Black as me
I'm not Waldo
So stop asking me where I am
I immerse myself in Emerson
Ralph began
What lies behind us
and lies before us
matters little to what lies within us
It becomes a matter of
painting the perfect picture
of being the perfect color
or the perfect racial mixture
They say that black is bad
And that white is good
But I stand under grey skies
That's where I'm understood
And imma shoulder my burdens
just like I know I should
Live life with no regrets
no if i coulds
They say I'm too black
That I'm not white enough
But black's got many shades.
Which one is right enough?
But we can move past it
Cus we have had it rough
I'd call you my brothers in arms
But we have fought enough
I hope I'll recount a story
When I am old and wise
Of how I lived to see the day that racism died
They tell me lighten up, that I am too stark
I reply that I'm not sad, I'm just too dark
But I'm a mix, I am composed of just two parts
Black and Caribbean But still just one heart
They say that racism is weak
So let the weak end
And thank god that it's Friday
Let the week end
It's not y'all can end the hate
It's that we can
It's not that you're not strong enough
You're just weakened
I'm not black or white
I'm just human
Open up your eyes
See the hues man
See the hues man
See the hues man

Let me introduce myself
I am Faraday
I am here today
to make you used to
the blessed good news
here's to the good muse,
without the ick
I'm sick of it
get rid of it
on Ritalin
I'm wriggling,
I'm struggling
here to rush
make my mind hush
and get some silence,
acting like a sheep
I'm not really one for violence
not violent
more prone to some violins
don't forget my vitamins,
it's vital for my Irises.
See shit like it's violet
cultivate a higher sense
more toxic than some hyacinth
no test rhyme
guttural intestines
as I break minds
as I rip spines
like a rip tide
a tendency to captivate
I don't hesitate
Marvel, I'm a heavy weight
Hulk like when I'm out the gate
Watch you quake, I show the blade
the better Slade
I'm laying down in heaven
an automatic weapon
spitting like a veteran
I've got no time to leaven
I'm full of tricks,
spiting sick licks
with some big lips
throw some quick hits
fists like thick bricks
count and pick six
try to survive
don't wonder why
I am alive
begging me for more
'fore they hit the floor
they pass out at the count of three,
some serenity
surrender to me
and rest in peace
the rest in piece,
a resting feat
arresting peeps
down from two too
grace like tutu, Wu Shu
slew you, fist of kung fu
words of voodoo, Ju Ju
hole in one
almost done
my first run
end of gun,
I'm done
