Legit - A Nigger in Northface lyrics
rate meI swear my mother’s face was priceless
You couldn’t buy it with a master card
Vicious so dismissive held with a bad regard
Took one look at the one I was romancing
like how you come here with a chick
The same color our masters are?
You mean masters were,
Mother, that’s past tense
But that’s irrelevant, cause my heart is what’s been held captive
She said no more, as if she was divorcing Ashton
And stormed right out the room in a pretty upset fashion
I mean I’m guessing all these years of oppression
Have left some of us with a form of permanent objection
Leaving in perspective a condition of racial preference,
But just cause love is complex doesn't mean it has complexion
If we assume it does, then how can we have progression?
It’s, ass backwards moving in the wrong direction
I don’t get it, I probably never will
All they see is black and white, welcome to Pleasant Ville
Chorus:
The public has perceptions of us
Our love has turned to a …
Decisions that it want us it means
That I can’t be your love for right now
Cause I wanna play if I make you smile.
So now I’m catching shoulders colder than Norway
Guess that’s how it goes when you date outside of your race
Get looked at like a sellout or a nigger nigger in North Face
But I’m sure the same thing is happening your way
When your pops heard of me, anger was burning fervently
In the third degree used his slurs when he referred to me
And your moms is cool, but she still feels awkward
Explaining to her friends her daughter is dating someone darker
And I’m fine, but I hate to see it bothered you
and witness all of their ignorance rip your heart in two
Watch as both sides fight like Capulets and Montagues
Cause they don’t know that emotion can come in all kinds of hues
And I hate being with your friends, cause if you bring ‘em
I get stared at like an exhibit in a museum
I don’t get it,I probably never will,
All they see is black and white, welcome to Pleasant Ville
Chorus:
The public has perceptions of us
Our love has turned to a …
Decisions that it want us it means
That I can’t be your love for right now
Cause I wanna play if I make you smile.
This whole time, my feelings have grown deeper
..emotions all by the..
… a jungle fever, don’t give a fuck what’s your label
And I never gonna leave her..
And a smile a face produces to ever turn my back
So tell her … they don’t get it, they’ll probably never will
All they see is black and white, welcome to Pleasant Ville!
Chorus:
The public has perceptions of us
Our love has turned to a …
Decisions that it want us it means
That I can’t be your love for right now
Cause I wanna play if I make you smile.
