Sanity - Black Eye Lyrics

Took a hit
(I bounce back)
I'm enough
(Never lack)
Say I'm scarred
(Never that)
Make my mark,
(Know its black)

Took a hit
(I bounce back)
I'm enough
(Never lack)
Say I'm scarred
(Never that)
Make my mark,
(Know its black)

Took a hit
(I bounce back)
I'm enough
(Never lack)
Say I'm scarred
(Never that)
Make my mark,
(Know its black)

Took a hit
(I bounce back)
I'm enough
(Never lack)
Say I'm scarred
(Never that)
Make my mark,
(Know its black)

I don't feel like you care
See I'm black everyday baby
What's a black square

Don't focus on what's back there
Got bare assets
More than I appear
Life's not fair
I could never live in fear
I ain't got a moment spare
Clear
Know when I'm not welcome
See I've got that down to a stare (yeah)

Keep it steppin'
Like yeah Imma head out
Brush past em like the
Brother in get out
Threatening when we're together
So they pressure us to spread out
Can't swallow pride even when I know a fed out

Hoarding rage that I know I can't let out
Nah nah see we can't get loud
Too aggressive keep my head down
But I'm so fed up
Pressure to the neck
Can't live in regret

Trying to make a check
You know how it's set
Dumb it down cause they question intellect

See it in effect
Reading for the depth
Stay woke come in like we never slept

Babylon got me feeling like a guest
Walking in rooms they never would of guessed
Asking me how I wanna be addressed
Calling me lady in Adidas creps

Don't ask my government
Why are you obsessed?
(Baby why you so obsessed? )
Living rent free in your mind give me rest
(Baby give me rest)

Why is you pressed?
Pushing your luck but you can't gimmie no reps
Equality meeting just wasting my breath
Lemme see what you've tackled come gimmie refs

Took a hit
(I bounce back)
I'm enough
(Never lack)
Say I'm scarred
(Never that)
Make my mark,
(Know its black)

Took a hit
(I bounce back)
I'm enough
(Never lack)
Say I'm scarred
(Never that)
Make my mark,
(Know its black)

Took a hit
(I bounce back)
I'm enough
(Never lack)
Say I'm scarred
(Never that)
Make my mark,
(Know its black)

Took a hit
(I bounce back)
I'm enough
(Never lack)
Say I'm scarred
(Never that)
Make my mark,
(Know its black)

Every day I wake up black and proud
Tell me why they wanna a black man down
White man took a black man's sound
And white man rose and the black man drowned

I was living in white mans town
Why the feds wanna pat man down
Might run up in downing street with a heater
Then start letting of rounds

Felt shivers its pain that were living in
Stay with it, they hate when you're diligent
Racism ain't changed just hidden in
Am i way too brave for an immigrant

When your this black
Prejudice ain't far from a dispatch
I'm a riff raff
Cause the cainrowes tight
And my skins not white
But i can't just take it and sit back

You can really get down in a day
Drowned in the rain
Real shit allow the debate
Couple heads still loud with the hate
Sounding the same

So I point then I aim and then shoot it
That's down to the pain
Black with a vengeance
Allow the delay
Ring the alarm get loud in the place
It's time to go mad so we lowed any breaks

You don't wanna get caught slipping when you're black
Gotta get through so we're slipping in the gap
You ain't gonna change shit sitting in the back
If I see a racist hit em with a slap

Can't go alone so we did it in a pack
I was in defence cause they was in attack
Sitting on the fence ain't really where it's at
I was tryna vent so i put it in a rap

Took a hit
(I bounce back)
I'm enough
(Never lack)
Say I'm scarred
(Never that)
Make my mark,
(Know its black)

Took a hit
(I bounce back)
I'm enough
(Never lack)
Say I'm scarred
(Never that)
Make my mark,
(Know its black)

Took a hit
(I bounce back)
I'm enough
(Never lack)
Say I'm scarred
(Never that)
Make my mark,
(Know its black)

Took a hit
(I bounce back)
I'm enough
(Never lack)
Say I'm scarred
(Never that)
Make my mark,
(Know its black)

Not sitting on a fortune yet
Still I'm not unfortunate
Still we know our power
Although we ain't got our portion yet

Pay me what you owe me
Not to tick the box the thought of it
God forbid can't let that sell
Culture try to auction it

My shoes you can not walk in it
Excuse you trying to tell me how to feel
As if you know just how I feel
You pick a colour then you morph in it

The awkwardness
Gas lighting torturers
Say the pasts the past
But too much black is too much forwardness

My sister works in corporate
Made to feel she's forcing it
Like she's less important
See success and then they caution it

The early bird gets the worm
But the black bird means they're mourning it
These hashtags phony
If you ain't really on calling it

Out
I've lost count
The amount
I've been fuel up on doubt
When they drown most your history
How'd you find self?
So I shout about beauty
I lost in myself
What's problematic?
When pride's all I felt

Took a hit
(I bounce back)
I'm enough
(Never lack)
Say I'm scarred
(Never that)
Make my mark,
(Know its black)

(I bounce back)
(Never lack)
(Never that)
(Know its black)

(I bounce back)
(Never lack)
(Never that)
(Know its black)

(I bounce back)
(Never lack)
(Never that)
(Know its black)

(I bounce back)
(Never lack)
(Never that)
(Know its black)

(I bounce back)
(Never lack)
(Never that)
(Know its black)
