v v brown & derome - i will always be black lyrics
in the way the sun bounces off my skin
and illuminates my face
in the way my hair points towards the sky
the stars and outer sp+ce
i’m distinctly different
i can’t lead, i can’t breathe
i have needs
i was told i could be whatever i dreamed
but little did i know
the ceiling would be low
so no matter how much i grow
and no matter how far i go
there will always be a tension
my intention is to love and to embrace
as a child i never saw the colour of my face
i heard the sound of my mother’s voicе
i still remember how it feels
that’s thе sensation i wish to give
when from the mouth my heart speaks
i’m distinctly different
in the way the glimmer of the moon dances upon my skin
to make my glow apparent
in the way my hair points towards the sky
the clouds, it’s different
i’m distinctly different
i’ve tried to avoid it
i’ve tried to change
i’ve been less noisy
i’ve been less strange
to be black, to be british
both a struggle and a fact
but there comes a point when i can’t hold back
i can pretend to be completely british
but i’ll always be black
