Golden by Hoosh Lyrics
I used to wish my body was another
I used to be embarrassed of my color
Sitting on a terrace no my skin is not the fairest
Got the nappiest of hair
So I’m worried about appearance
Look, this is what I think
The world always wanted us to sink
So fuck it i'ma go out in a mink
And as
The fur gets heavier
I’ll drown steadier
They threw us in the water but we’re harboring our stamina like
Mind my grammar hoe we animals right?
Certain standards I ain’t standing for no animal rights
Whats a riot to a murder
You’re mishandling life
That’s a child with no mother
Try replacing a wife
Cases never see the light Breonna Taylors just die
Face it i could never trust you cause you severed the ties
And created insecurities to battle my maturity
They took away our purity let’s leave it at that, thinking
Seems i lose my shade sometimes but i’m golden
Swear that i’m golden, yea yea
Seems i might be gray sometimes but i’m golden
Swear that i’m golden, yea yea
So tell me should I trust
Why is it I’m biased into thinking that a biopsy determines whether cuffs
Shackle my wrist
Fact is the blacker one is
The faster they factor you’re it
Passive or pissed
Officer it seems that all the oxygen
Is leaving my esophagus
So how could i be competent?
Commenting on questions
But your knee is on my neck
So how the fuck do you expect
For me to answer this in confidence
Common sense
This is for the Gurleys
This for Alton sterling, Eric Garner, and Freddie
Gray praying they don’t pull me over and then frisk me
For its over the aroma of the doja that i roll up for the
Anxieties
These fears of my peers and i dying to
1 2
Ones you call reliable
Ain’t it wild to think
You rely on them we hide from them shit, like
Seems i lose my shade sometimes but i’m golden
Swear that i’m golden, yea yea
Seems i might be gray sometimes but i’m golden
Swear that i’m golden, yea yea
I used to be embarrassed of my color
Sitting on a terrace no my skin is not the fairest
Got the nappiest of hair
So I’m worried about appearance
Look, this is what I think
