How the others

lived?

Well I've never been other.

I Was the same, when I Came out of my mother.

Raised right by my studious father.

Learned honor from the thugs and my brother

How the others feed

Well my milk came from an utter.

My rice always tasted better.

My Mom's tea always made me warmer.

So How am I the other?

How the others feel?

Well I feel like you're doubting my fire.

And it's only aiming higher,

And it's gonna make you madder.

So you better watch that Blood pressure

Why the others killed?

You made the sun a barretta.

Made the night light a switch on a burner.

You’re the other!!

Holding me down, cuz you can’t fake this fire

So wear the attire and forgive yourself for what transpired,

Yet you’re soul will know that you’re a liar.

Because I was the same when I came out of my mother.

The sun shone on me today,

I even saw a beautiful rainbow, I wasn’t impressed

When I was younger I would have doubled down on my naïveté.

But it’s getting harder and harder to ignore life’s mundaneness

I wanna tell my brain to take it slowly,

And take in the happiness.

Thought there are the royal voices inside me,

ancestors from my past waiting to reclaim their rightful title of highness.

I’m going to have to look away

Put my head down to unlock my true prowess

so sun I don’t need your warmth today

For even if you shine you can’t save me from the rain

[henry-cadet]

Peek into an unhinged scene.

Peace is distant yet it teems.

Sparkly clean is not our way.

That superficial fiend thrown up and away

It’s my colonial defense mechanism please say,

Hey! to all my flaws I’ve tucked away.

For all the gold nuggets your people don’t want me to say,

And lastly as I finish my scribbles away.

The spirit of my ancestors are slaving for their day,

In the sun without you in the way.
