Tone down your blackness

 Tone down your black excellence 

Tone down your black excellence

So that way we can see you not 

Succeed….we can feel better about 

Ourselves and be better than you 

Cos you’re not suppose to be 

More successful than us…only us

Can be great 

Cos we’re superior…please 

Tone down your black excellence 

Even your blackness…

Make us feel at easy…

If you’re aggressive 

and yell at us 

There’d be consequences 

You will be put in your place 

If you don’t comply 

We’ll do somethin dangerous 

Tone down your black excellence 

Your black joy

Cos I said so…

-

All I’m hearin

Is 

The voice of a 

Real inferiority 

Complex

It’s all in between the lines and 

Coverups to protect this whiteness 

So it won’t shatter…

I can see it through the masquerade 

Since I study racism on my own 

On a daily basis….

The funny part 

Is that white supremacy 

Got us envy for white folks 

When really 

They’re the ones who are deeply 

Insecure…

It goes to show 

Us that there’s nothing Wrong 

With our whole black people

The entire time…

It’s them…

I would like to point 

That nobody is better than 

Anybody….and nobody is 

Perfect….there shouldn’t be 

Jealousy but here 

We are…

White peoples are still 

Jealous….
