White Lies
You're so pretty....
You're so funny....
You're so smart....
You're so talented....
You've got the perfect body...
Would you date me?.......
THEN SHUT UP!!!!!!!!!
Shut your motuh before I scream
Compliments are never what they seem
When referred to me, you see
When I ask why I don't have a man in this prodominantly white clan
Saying "It's because your Black" always seem like their plan
Don't lift me up to bring me down
I've fallen so much there is no more sound
The crash still hurts, the tears still flow, but the scars are my new skin
Strong and independent doesn't mean go away
We want someone to come over at night and stay
I know they like me...I know there's more than two
But I'm Black, there's nothing I can do
Society can not control you and neither can I
But those words you say hurt more than I can deny
So DON'T say them, DON'T even try
They'll just be more white lies to soak my eyes.
