FOLLOW MY LEAD
Staring at a clock on the wall
Staring at the watch on my wrist
Looking at screens
Time is the same all round
Someone told me that you can't see time in a dream
Now every second that passes I feel like I'm in a dream
Flying over trees
I'm starting to notice that no one is ever as high as they seem
We all wanna run
Everybody hates their past and they wish that it didn't exist
Facts
Oh it's so hard to be black
Oh in the past I was fighting my father
It seems to me
No one can ever be bothered with anyone's story
We're too busy posting our own
Now I've been put in position of learning to listen again
Hard to be grown
Apologies thrown around
As often as farmers are sowing the ground
Now I've been trying to build my sight and hone my sound
I hold it down
I do not wanna be somebody following
Routes of regretting and all these apologies
Somebody called me a prodigy
Honestly ever since then I stopped trying to be
Follow my lead
Staring at the sky outside
Staring at a child as he cries
Looking at screens
Staring at the Bibles I keep for the answers that I never get
Cause I never read
Now every sin I commit is dirt that I couldn't clean
I never sleep
Racism only starts hitting your head when your mind is at ease
I guarantee
Nah, don't follow my lead
Don't follow my lead
Nah, don't follow my lead
Don't follow my lead
Nah, don't follow my lead
Don't follow my lead
Nah, don't follow my lead
Don't follow my lead
Nah, don't follow my lead
Don't follow my lead
Nah, don't follow my lead
Don't follow my lead
Nah, don't follow my lead
Don't follow my lead
Nah, don't follow my lead
Don't follow my lead
Staring at the watch on my wrist
Looking at screens
Time is the same all round
Someone told me that you can't see time in a dream
Now every second that passes I feel like I'm in a dream
Flying over trees
I'm starting to notice that no one is ever as high as they seem
We all wanna run
Everybody hates their past and they wish that it didn't exist

Oh it's so hard to be black

Nah, don't follow my lead
Don't follow my lead
Nah, don't follow my lead
Don't follow my lead
Nah, don't follow my lead
Don't follow my lead
Nah, don't follow my lead
Don't follow my lead
Nah, don't follow my lead
Don't follow my lead
