时长: 04:44
it's amazing when you know[00:00:13]
it's the moment when you grow[00:00:15]
everything changes[00:00:16]
your thinking rearranges[00:00:18]
your mind sees a different view[00:00:21]
through the eyes of a new you[00:00:23]
see the light, the sacrifice[00:00:25]
you realize your place in life[00:00:27]
amazing when you know[00:00:29]
it's the moment when you grow[00:00:31]
everything changes[00:00:33]
your thinking rearranges[00:00:35]
your mind sees a different view[00:00:38]
through the eyes of a new you[00:00:40]
see the light and realize[00:00:42]
your place in life[00:00:44]
what a feeling[00:00:45]
to live a lie isn’t living[00:00:47]
you gotta live the life you been given[00:00:48]
however you decide to the ending[00:00:50]
you try’na make it like you envisioned[00:00:52]
use to run and hide, use to wanna die[00:00:54]
‘nuff tears cried we could swim in[00:00:57]
true self denied, no self pride[00:00:59]
like you’re locked inside your own prison[00:01:01]
try’na fight loose when they bind you[00:01:03]
so you’re free enough to go find you[00:01:05]
got enough to say to write a novel[00:01:07]
but they’re limiting you to a haiku[00:01:09]
they’ll condemn you with their bibles[00:01:11]
tried to kill you with their rifles[00:01:13]
even hold you down with their titles[00:01:15]
some of us hide for survival[00:01:18]
when you really know who you are[00:01:19]
what another thinks shouldn’t concern you[00:01:22]
but of course this is still hard[00:01:24]
when a person intends to hurt you[00:01:26]
freedom comes with risk... no love without war[00:01:28]
what you thinkin’ buddy, gonna take it from me?[00:01:32]
have to kick down my door[00:01:35]
‘cause my vision hasn’t been clearer[00:01:37]
i am on a mission now i don’t fear much[00:01:39]
i won’t give in now, and i’m grinning proud[00:01:41]
when i see the man in the mirror[00:01:43]
so i welcome change like it seldom came[00:01:45]
very interested in what tomorrow brings[00:01:47]
getting all this pain, slowly off my brain[00:01:49]
now i see that there is so much more to gain[00:01:52]
it's amazing when you know[00:01:54]
it's the moment when you grow[00:01:56]
everything changes[00:01:58]
your thinking rearranges[00:02:00]
your mind sees a different view[00:02:02]
through the eyes of a new you[00:02:04]
see the light, the sacrifice[00:02:06]
you realize your place in life[00:02:08]
amazing when you know[00:02:11]
it's the moment when you grow[00:02:13]
everything changes[00:02:15]
your thinking rearranges[00:02:17]
your mind sees a different view[00:02:20]
through the eyes of a new you[00:02:21]
see the light and realize[00:02:23]
your place in life[00:02:26]
what a feeling[00:02:27]
some call you black , some call you weird[00:02:29]
some call you artist, some call you queer[00:02:30]
some never call, some are in fear[00:02:32]
some, when you speak, will never lend an ear[00:02:34]
some, when you need, will never lend a hand[00:02:36]
some are simply here to sabotage your plan[00:02:38]
some call you different[00:02:41]
some call you fam[00:02:42]
their the sum of anyone that understands[00:02:43]
come as you are, and they love you[00:02:44]
couldn’t live false if you wanted to[00:02:46]
what’s in your heart, can’t undo[00:02:48]
come too far, shouldn’t shun truth[00:02:51]
i had to run to another city, to find my true self what a pity[00:02:53]
where they embrace diversity[00:02:57]
and don’t try changed you with scrutiny[00:02:59]
because the skin of me and my kin is known to offend[00:03:01]
and treated as sin[00:03:04]
but black is beautiful and always in[00:03:05]
that’s the way feel, i can’t play pretend[00:03:07]
that don’t make me better that just mean i love me[00:03:10]
in a world that loves to paint us ugly[00:03:12]
can’t believe we live in a country[00:03:14]
that tells you who you love is disgusting[00:03:16]
thought we lived in a free state[00:03:18]
but that’s clearly up for debate[00:03:20]
i don’t speak hate, i won’t behave[00:03:22]
i don’t give a damn if you relate[00:03:25]
i just want peace for the peaceful[00:03:26]
and the haters too ‘cause we equal[00:03:29]
for i leave you, i really need you[00:03:31]
to live your own truth, for my people sing...[00:03:33]
it's amazing when you know[00:03:36]
it's the moment when you grow[00:03:37]
everything changes[00:03:40]
your thinking rearranges[00:03:42]
your mind sees a different view[00:03:44]
through the eyes of a new you[00:03:46]
see the light, the sacrifice[00:03:48]
you realize your place in life[00:03:50]
amazing when you know[00:03:53]
it's the moment when you grow[00:03:55]
everything changes[00:03:57]
your thinking rearranges[00:03:59]
your mind sees a different view[00:04:01]
through the eyes of a new you[00:04:03]
see the light and realize[00:04:06]
your place in life[00:04:07]
what a feeling[00:04:09]
