christian (ii) - more than meets the eye lyrics

[hook] (x2)
more than meets the eye
take a minute to get to know me
you might be surprised at what you find
if you look past the clothing
or the type of car that i drive
don’t be afraid to say hi
when i causally p-ss by

verse 1:
my faith in humanity is lessening
i wear gl-sses so that i’ll look less threatening
everywhere i go, i am constantly exposed!
on display like a mannequin that came from a store
to my dismay, this lady is panicking
in a rush just to get to the door!
and away from me, shamefully..
such a sad sight to see…
just imagine, if you could even fathom
what it’s like to be me!
in a place like this, full of racists!
that discriminate against you but have no basis!
people act like it’s wrong for me just to exist!
but it’s this misconception that gives birth to prejudice!
judged by the color of my skin, rather than by
the content of my character, it’ll really embarr-ss ya!
if you let it, but i’m unaffected by the negative
because it’s so repet-tive!

[hook]

verse 2:
being polite is so rare nowadays
chicks mistake it for flirtation
but all i said was hey
am i not suppose to speak when i greet?
(i was at work)
the nerve of her to say, “he thirsty!”
“he trying to get with me”
“let me get away from him”
man, i just don’t know what to say to them!
so i say nothing at all
so appalled by y’all, i just gawk!
shaking my head like, “i guess, oh well.”
“can’t expect from others what you would of yourself”
treat people how you would like to be treated!
but see, i follow this rule; yet i still feel defeated..
and depleted, like man, i can’t believe it fam!

[hook]

verse 3:
onlookers see what you drive, and -ssume that you got money
well i guess the joke’s on me, huh?
but i don’t find it funny, see-
i’ve never been the type to like a lot of attention
’cause i get anxious at times man, just thought i should mention
i get defensive when you get apprehensive and start to tense up!
trippin’, clenching and gripping your purse
but really what she doesn’t know is that it hurts
me to see that i can’t even come near
without her being in fear, makes me feel inferior
suffering from presuppositions and opinions of others
but succ-mbing to neither one of ’em!
instead, i’m continuing to prove them wrong
and if it persists or prolongs, i’ll just go to do another song
so y’all can all sing along…

[hook]

[outro verse]
oh my gosh, it’s a big black guy!
hide your kids, hide your wife!
run for your very life!
the perils that i face everyday, until my demise
was i cursed from birth?
treated like a sc-m of the earth!
is this the sum of my worth?
ironic cause i came from dirt, it couldn’t be any worse!

[closing hook]
