Walo, the underscore. – Running wild. Lyrics

Artist: Walo, the underscore.
Song: Running wild.

“we live in a system and a society—and, not just america or the west;
Black is just a negative thing, yeah?
Even ourselves—you understand, like
In the states, you have black people (talking about black on black crime in the states, yeah?)

But the thing is that—not that black people are violent or that type of thing
The reason why the violence is there is because
We live in a society where; ever since birth, everything you read, every poster you look at, everything in school you’ve been taught
It engenders a self-hate.”

Huh, huh!
Uh-huh?
Uh-huh, uh-huh
Every morning i

Open my eyes, apologising for who i am
My skin is black, i didn’t get to choose it
I’m blaming whiteness
My skin is darkness

I stumble and i call it blackness
A king of past tense
I’m lost
I mean, who the f#ck am i?

I’m lost, that’s who i am
At age 10 i was staring at mirrors
15, my boys were my mirror
20, i’m running from mirrors

Asking, wondering, desperate to answer my questions, no mirror
Daring to look in the mirror’s
Scary for me to look in my eyes
To try to figure this sh#t out, like

I know for sure that i’m african
That means that me, my parents and my kids are the lesser man
So we gon’ have to emigrate this b#tch with our dinner plans
Never looking back, got lots of salt on our abra-hands

Till we fill up other places
I’m lost!
Like, who the f#ck am i?!
I’m lost!

Somebody tell me who the f#ck i am!
I’m lost!
Somebody tell me! somebody tell me!
I mean, somebody f#cking tell me because see

I’d rather follow the culture
I’d rather live with the system
I’d rather be who they want
I’d rather die unfulfilled if i can be comfortable, trust

If only i knew
That who i am is not just about all the places i’m from
Who i am is what i want –
And that’s what my life is worth
