European Mask by Eugenius Neutron Lyrics
[INTRO - FUTURE]
Mask off, fuck it mask off
Mask off, fuck it mask off
Mask off, fuck it mask off
Mask off, fuck it mask off
[VERSE 1]
Her real name was Colandrea
But everybody called her CoCo
Straight up out thehood on the low low
78th south side of Chicago
Chiraq, she made it out of that
It should be a fact she could survive anything
But she just one person of the two percent minority
Feel like she doing time in the Ivy League
Grew up in a middle class family
But she still feel like she never had shit
But the brains and beauty in the package
With the boobies and the booty that could match it
She the baddest thang on campus
But her attitude ten times badder
Cause the skin that she in was the blackest
Some reason she just see it as some bad shit
Sad shit, but a king like me step to her like a G
'Like queen what's hadd'nin?'
But she wouldn't even give the time of day
During daylight saving when the clock moving backwards
Looking at me like I'm the last nigga
Probably tell me 'Go step nigga
Ol' righteousness of self ass nigga
You ain't nothing but a hotep nigga'
You know, tryna snap and all
But it's really cause I'm black and all
Generational hatred from white supremacy
But between you me, that's how she pass it off
Good perm change curls to a straight line
Take brunette if she can't go blonde
But her lips too thick and her nose to wide
Man she find herself tryna fix it all the time
[HOOK 1]
She got some inches
She got some inches
Straight long and flat
Her creamy crack is so addictive
Her skin too dark for a tan
She just wanna fit in so bad
So she doing everything that she can
To fix up her European Mask
She got some stitches
She got some stitches
Her plastic surgery make her perfect
It's addictive
Her skin too dark for a tan
She just wanna fit in so bad
So she doing everything that she can
To fix up her European Mask
[VERSE 2]
Troy was the son of the Dean on the yard
His daddy tried to keep him head strong
Always let him know since he black it's a fact
That he always gotta work twice as hard
I can't hate that nonetheless
Look like he taking the right steps
Always do something to please somebody else
Sometime I just wonder do he really know himself
He do whats asked even if ain't his own wish
Still gon' his best
Got a white girlfriend and he ain't even on yet
Guess he learned that from KanYe West
Pops want law school then a politician
But he got a lil' bit of weed in his system
In the bathroom blowing smoke in the tissue
Making notes of a couples quotes he could misuse
Bojangles with clever angles
Operating with the Oofta mind
Making black jokes on his own kind
But he need a drum roll with one lines
He wanna make 'em laugh all the time
Do the shuck and jive at the drop of a dime
Just so he can go Greek, wanna pledge Pastiche
Figure that's gon' bring 'em prestige of some kind
Just a everyday Uncle Tom
Let his white friends drop the N-Bomb
He the token black friend to the rich white kids
Who say thats he they nig-gar
Look what his daddy don' did now
Made another OJ Simp-son
Guess it really don't mean none
If the out come means income
[HOOK 2]
He got some digits
He got some digits
He pray to God his stock don't flop
It's so addictive
His skin color brown paper bag
He just wanna fit in so bad
So he doing everything that he can
To fix up his European Mask
He got a pension
He got a pension
401K and a IRA
It's so addictive
His skin color brown paper bag
He just wanna fit in so bad
So he doing everything that he can
To fix up his European Mask
[VERSE 3]
Dear White People was the inspiration
Fact of fictional observation
Before we spark up the conversation
Of everyone calling me a racist
It's not a call for some segregation
Just the problem with our integration
Black people have to face this daily
From college majors to occupations
Systematic oppression gave us
A psychological black behavior
Rooted in the effects the slavery
Years later enslaves our thinking
To appease what's not meant to saves us
In exchange for some compensation
To avoid the poor population
And ultimately incarceration
[HOOK 3]
They outchea living
They outchea living
Inside a system where yo' pigment get you prisoned
Slave at first Gahdamn
But they wanna be free at last
Guess you gotta get it however you can
If you gotta wear your European Mask
Mask off, fuck it mask off
Mask off, fuck it mask off
Mask off, fuck it mask off
Mask off, fuck it mask off
