This is my body and I’m not sure how to explain it
My head is a wildfire imagination but I keep it silent
My body is a gift and a curse that I’m trying to cure
I hope for the best but I think it’s the worst
if only you knew the truth.
I’m a young black man with a dash of Puerto Rican blood,
Born in two family’s do I have to pick a side?
I don’t think I have to take a side because it’s too hard to decide
Cuz on mom side and her sisters were playing with Barbie dolls
my grandpa was out there with grenades in the Vietnam war
Can’t forget my dad’s side my grandpa was a hustler
He moved from Puerto Rico to the U.S.
fixing cars left and right making his money
no one disrespected him
until he got stabbed one night
no matter what side of the family
or what they were doing they were grinding
working hard to do what’s right doesn’t
That means I get to be on both sides, right?
I like how vulnerable you were with your struggles. I think this is super important to help others feel more comfortable and relate. I think self love is so important and finding a place where you fit in most is up to you.
