1509

You played with my heart but it's my fault, I let you 

I let you in to a place no one had ever seen 

I let you see soul deep inside of me 

I gave you my worries, trusted you with my dreams 

But when you finished there was barely anything left of me 

You altered my mind and conquered my heart 

Only to leave me broken 

I let you see my soul, I gave you everything 

And you still left me

Left me to re write my dreams 

Haunted by faded memories 

Of what we would never be 

Black Boy Blues

Hey black boy

Why you so mean?

Heart full of ice

Head full of steam

Hey black boy

Why you so mean

Cussin’ folk out

Causin’ a scene

“Hey black boy

Why you so mean”

Maybe cause my daddy gone

And mama ain’t home to feed me

Maybe cause my brother locked up

Cousin been gunned down in the street

Hey Merikkka

You wanna know why I’m mean

I go to bed hungry

My water ain’t even clean

System took my people

Ain’t nobody lookin’ out for me

Each night

I pray just to wake up

Each day

That today ain’t the day police decide to kill me

Stop asking

Black boys why they’re so mean

Maybe

Cause they struggle in a society

Built to oppress and detain

Rather than sustain such KINGS
