Stereotopics ft. Josh Latunji Lyrics

Who am I?

Got to find out on my own

But isolation is the quickest the quickest way to grow

In this fast world, can't be the only moving slow

I put myself in box like I'm moving home

But home is where the heart is

And I'm searching for a heart

I've heard he beats that i followed from the start

Then I caught up with the pen

That's a craft I fell in love with

Would my stories do you any justice?

I'm caught up in this cycle I've never even peddled

Rocks or pebbles

Seeing gold but losing medals

Do I change around surroundings

What do I stand for?

I wish people that I know would understand more

Always been in the middle

Never felt too comfortable

That's why I'm never still

I hold school responsible

Five on the hand from the jump to the fall

Most diamonds in the ground call them crown Jewels

Mistake are tools

Not in this system of rules

So I walk alone, I'm blue

I guess I'm not Liverpool

For ever tons of weight on my shoulders

The more I've realized when I'm getting older

That little dig there

I buried again

Did that make you feel stronger

Now you're questioning them

Don't want to cause irritation against the grain

But you stand for your thoughts you can't refrain

I, find it hard to speak my truth

So I spit it in the booth

Trying to find light in this dark skin of mine

If you are black, you're one of a kind

One of a kind, one of a kind

My king, my empress

My king, my empress

I'm walking down this long long road of success

I'm not here to tell you that I'm the best

I'm here to pursue my purpose

And complete the quest

But I'm better than average, just look at the rest

I've come this far from feeling feeble

Not trusting people and not feeling equal

But that doesn't matter

Cos we smile

So many different ways

On a sunny days is when we get paid

To move forward you need gratitude

Not a stinky attitude

So I smile through the pain

While I'm going insane

Trying to stay sane

But it's not the same when you feel like you're wrapped in chains

I'm feeling so mellow on the beat its that time

See a black man in the street I'm that guy

I just want to find freedom in my life

They tell us that they love us and then they oppress us

I, find it hard to speak my truth

So I spit it in the booth

Trying to find light in this dark skin of mine

If you are black, you're one of a kind

One of a kind, one of a kind

My king, my empress

My king, my empress

On the right path, just the wrong road

Situations like these help you keep the pen flow

Man, are you so blind to not see beyond your eyelids?

Its way deeper than 'No dogs or black or Irish'

The time is right

To not back down or get back down

No Ps or Qs

And no I don't make p's from the q's

Saying no offence doesn't mean you're excused

Your assumptions wrong don't look at me confused

I got short fuse

Nothing to prove

The hundred meter sprint the only race I wanna lose

The way you're viewed

Everything gets back to you

I'm too white for you

Too black to speak the way I do

So if I don't conform to your stereotype

I lose all of my heritage, I'm suddenly white

But in the eyes of the right, I'm as dark as the night

Yeah you can't pick and choose when you're living my life

I, find it hard to speak my truth

So I spit it in the booth

Trying to find light in this dark skin of mine

If you are black, you're one of a kind

One of a kind, one of a kind

My king, my empress

My king, my empress

I, find it hard to speak my truth

So I spit it in the booth

Trying to find light in this dark skin of mine

If you are black, you're one of a kind

One of a kind, one of a kind

My king, my empress

My king, my empress
