jon hope - what kind of art is this? lyrics

Loading...

what kind of art is this?
if i advance then the hood say i’m pompuses
i want progresses not novices
and the more i realize i want no parts of this

but the problem is when i conquer this
all i receive is a backhand compliment
i do not fit all the stereotypes of this
they say i speak so well being dark as this

what kind of art is this?
my people cl-ssify my speech as caucasian-ist
i am bothered this was never right with this
‘cause i work too hard for my offices

my diploma sits so high on my wall
next to my xxl and trophies from ball
don’t ever put me inside a box as this
still that n-gg-? or uncle thomases

chorus

something tells me that you think you know your shit about me
cast your judgement i dont give a flying f-ck you doubt me
two lips on my -ss (kiss) two lips on my -ss (kiss)
two lips on my -ss (kiss) two lips on my -ss (kiss)

what kind of art is this?
and how i reconcile in my heart with this?
where do i belong where’s my spot in this?
i wanna see new things and explore my gifts

my suit and tie may only show that i am token
but one simple mistake and i am outspoken
i am done black man who’s labeled as thug
please keep your sweeping statements up under this rug

so i ask what kind of art is this?
i respectfully decline all your social scripts
i ain’t sign up for that role why do they exist?
this smile up on my face doesn’t show i am pissed

why do i get stares if a white girl that i kiss?
so much more that i can say but i’m hoping you get the gist
american made and built ford tough
you just color me bad when you paint with a broad brush

repeat chorus

this is your box you ain’t you ain’t going nowhere
