lyrics

I push my hair back but it won’t lie flat
Like those other girls do
The ones that wear their hair with flair
 like I wanted to
And now they're looking down their noses
Pointing like I belong
I feel a weight on my shoulders
Because they’re supposed to be from

My caramel skin don’t sell, easy
I'm just a little darker than what they want me to be

I could’t choose to be anything but me
But I’ve wanted to
Felt the grieving building inside being pulled in two
My feet straddling the line sinking deeper still
But the battle inside my mind won’t be quiet 

So it get’s louder, louder

My caramel skin don’t sell, easy
I can’t scrub myself to be treated equally
