mykele deville - monolith lyrics

[verse 1: mykele]
pick your style
pick your clothes
pick your music
you got free will dont let them tell you how to use it
yup, you know its beauty in the choice
since a boy i’d explore how much my thoughts weighed
never forced to wear the m.a.s.k
thats heavy baby, too much to handle
competing with the expectations of spiritual vandals
only motive is a school scandal
gossiping cannibals
your difference looks like greatness then they’re all up in your mandible
whoa, now you’re a talented show without competing sleazy
i rocked some moon boots
a black guitar
some pokemon cards
an african dashiki covered in graffiti
id even try to brush my hair when i was feeling dreamy
so, this simple fact is
you don’t have to practice
defy the definition
not a right way to be black
to be whack
to be cool
to be you
just be true to yourself
represent
whats inside
inner wealth baby

[hook: mykele & jovan]
not here to fulfill your urban myth
wasn’t born to conform to what you’re comfortable with
lets take these old tropes down so we can reinvent
yo, im not the monolith
no, we’re no the monolith
not a monolith, no we’re not the monolith!
and you should really know this by now, it is really common sense!
not a monolith, no we’re not the monolith!
and you should really know this by now, it is really common sense!
not a monolith, no we’re not the monolith!
and you should really know this by now!

[verse 2: jovan]
don’t fool yourself to think i have some monolith behavior
like candy, people comes in different kind of flavors
i favor the ones who ain’t afraid to be themselves
i know it takes a little time, and it takes a certain kind of help
don’t listen to the enemies, just tell them k!ll the noise
like how we tell them in the streets within the state of illinois
remain to stay poise and confuse ’em
diffuse ’em, with kindness, ’cause that’s the way that you have to infuse them
and lose ’em, cause one day you will laugh and this and laugh at ’em
quirky & creative, chewing on your favorite bubble gum
the world is just so troublesome, remember you’re the brightest one
they always looking at you hard, because you replicate the sun!
don’t taketh who you are for granted
they contemplate all the time to be planted, our purpose’s not to vanish
although we black girl magic: establish, just who we are
just who we are and dream far, within the stars

[hook: trig]
not the monolith, yo i’m no the monolith
not the monolith, yo we’re no the monolith
not the monolith, yo we’re no the monolith
no, no

[verse 3: trig]
sister told me i should be myself, so that’s what i teach
and in ya soul is gold and inner wealth, so that’s what i preach
don’t ever fall because they talking down, just make sure ya reach
to the top, and soon enough all the nonsense will stop
that was the truth if i ain’t never heard it
i took this truth up to the booth , and knew i had to serve it
to the youth so they can know exactly what the word is
when they out and making everyone around them nervous!
but that’s life, people hate what they don’t understand
but let them hate, just elevate and keep the upper hand
remember that your melanin is not some sort of brand
your an individual that’s pivotal across the land
god made me lyrical to spit visual miracles for the little boy and girl at home that’s trying to reach there pinnacle
stay original, that’s the principle its critical
it’s now traditional to think that we are all physical
so typical to think that we are all criminals
all those thoughts are minimal, we remain invincible
thinking that we are the monolith became habitual
let me be ya doctor, break ya habits with medicinal
we are not the monolith
we are not the monolith
we are not the monolith
we are individuals!
