Charlie Is Ready - Labels Lyrics

Is it a crime?
Time's stuck still in the seventies
Still don't align with their politics, they still trying to unpick
Tried that with Angela Davis
Now if I wear extensions, it is so clear the intention that I don't like my natural hair
Damned if I do, damned if I don't
Whose narrative do you think that you wrote?

So how can I be expecting perfection?
How can I be afraid of rejection?

Without these labels, taught were unable to remain stable in this society

Without

Look with your eyes
Let's talk about identity
More than black and white reality
One day dressed from the nineties
Slick ponytails and Nikes
These are the tales of black Queens
Residing in the S. E
Your posture should be graceful and walking so pristine- how they mean?
Fantasies of clear skin
And indigo girls in denim
An image I once tried to upkeep
But will it ever make me complete an idealistic masterpiece?

So how can I be expecting perfection?
How can I be afraid of rejection?

Without these labels taught were unable to remain stable in society
Without
I don't need these labels to define me
Labels
