What does it take to just be
Do I sit like this, do I look like that
What does it take to just be
From the cuts on my wrist to my backwards cap
What does it take to just be
Do I ball up my fists, do I have to fight back
What does it take to just be
From the marks on my hips to imperfections and fat
What does it take to just be
Do I walk in the trap just to get my face slapped
What does it take to just be
From my eyes now bruised black and the cuts on my back
What does it take to just be
Do I have to react just to stop the attacks
What does it take to just be
Me?
