about

here's a song about compromising yourself and your potential for people who don't appreciate and/or accept you the way that you are, albeit a personal relationship or systemic oppression.

Happy Juneteenth.

- all love, Thad.

lyrics

I been walking alone
I been calling your phone
I been on, yeah
I been spending the time
I been doing your crimes
(But I still can’t get through to you)
you still do me the worst
you still force me to curse
still treat me like dirt, yeah
You still put you first
but you still want come through
I keep saying

We can fix it. we can make it alright
We can fix it. we can make it alright (1x)

But it’s never alright
Everyday feel likes night
Darker than my skin
the bitter’s never ripen
now that my mind is heightened
I’m frightened, yeah

It’s detrimental to my health
I can’t compromise myself
I keep compromising myself

It’s detrimental to my health
I can’t compromise myself
I keep compromising myself

I been needing a hand
I been taking a stand
Tryna be a man, yeah
You been hard to understand
took me out plans
You let me sink in the sand

and then you put bricks on my shoulder
I been needing someone to roll this boulder,
off my back

You keep saying

We gon’ fix it
We gon’ make it alright
We gon’ fix it
We gon’ make it alright (1x)

But it’s never alright
Everyday feel likes night
Darker than my skin
the bitter’s never ripen
now that my mind is heightened
I’m frightened that

It’s detrimental to my health
I can’t compromise myself
I keep compromising myself

It’s detrimental to my health
I can’t compromise myself
I keep compromising myself

You never come thru
