Nature Boyz - Food 4 Thought (feat. Trieveryangle) Lyrics

Hope I make out this place
My faith is paper thin I need a place to concentrate
The walls are caving in still I'm blessed with melanin
But sometimes I feel I'm cursed when they're staring at face
And I see hate
Cross the road when I approach these white folks cant relate
Too exposed to fairer tones that me made contemplate
Why these Queens start to bleach and make their face a lighter shade
Strip away their born identity to keep up with this race
But how can we win
When everywhere that we go they see colour of skin
Like being dark is a sin
Don't know to begin
We're just puppets in this pantomime controlled by the string
Not the one on guitars dawg, or the violin
But the ones that brought Jordan out of retirement
Seems to be a lack of happiness from within
They take what I bring but then they wont let me in

I'm just tryna open doors
Show you everyday that I'm so thankful for you lord
Reg, we picking up a score
Mikayla's coming over so we need to get some more

I'm just tryna open doors
Show you everyday that I'm so thankful for you lord
I got flavours in my pores
Already finished 3 so Imma have to spark the 4th
That's food 4 thought

Yo Chris Imma have to spark this 4th
Struggling to write these words let's call it food for thought
As I'm getting older there's some things I can't ignore
Like how the world is so quick to come and take from the poor
Or do I mean give
They give your mum money, she can just about live
Survive in this world full of lies
That they are trying to disguise
Acting as if they can't here these people's cries
Shh
I hear
I see pain behind her eyes
I see people treat her with no respect so they won't get mine
But it's fine
I mean it's time to realise
I need to put in work to fly my mum through the skies

Cos I'm just tryna open doors
Show you mum I'm grateful, wish that I could show you more
My heart is heavy and it's sore
You fight a battle daily, I wanna take you out the war
I mean

I just wanna open doors
Give back to those I love and give them options to explore
And to the people I adore
I promise I won't stop until your peace is restored
