Paroles Against the grain Tobe Nwigwe

Against the grain

I feel you all are the same
It brings my heart so much pain
I wish I could see some change
I'll always go against the grain
Go against the grain
Go against the grain
Don't just be the same
Go against the grain

'Cause you were made to
Do what no one's done
And though they shade you
You shine like the sun
'Cause you were made to
Do what no one's done
And though they shade you
You shine like the sun

Aight, I feel like the masses on melatonin when it come to melanin
I grew up melancholy 'cause I ain't realize that the hemoglobin in my skin
Was connected to a lineage that never ever had to penny pinch
Serpent hissing at me I take the blade to his neck to kill all the hissy fits
Ouu, please don't try me, I get more than grimey wen it come to JujuHence why my name is Tobechukwu and the flow like a tutu
Wrapped around the waist of Misty Copeland
Graceful even though I hail from broken places
Where they say that none are chosen to rise among the raptors
Like DeRozan
Ouu
Flow o so, so Jurassic
Tough to find a suitor in my bracket
Where I'm from
My hood was filled with bastards
Not they fault
They daddy had it backwards
Hopefully they don't adopt the habits
Of the seed that turned them to a savage
'Cause

'Cause you were made to
Do what no one's done
And though they shade you
You shine like the sun
'Cause you were made to
Do what no one's done
And though they shade you
You shine like the sun

The atmosphere where I matured
Was less than friendly
Before they'd chase a dime
They'd squeeze the nickel
For a pretty penny
Hey look we had beef on every corner word to Wendy's
And I wanted to get away, or fly away, word to Lenny, Kravitz
It's always hella static
When you can't establish
How to get some cabbage
Or form a habit
To make ya cash a tidbit more acrobatic
Ouu, Ouu
You know flipping cake not hoarding it
Not hoarding it tryna change my mama
Geographical coordinates
'cause, 'cause she made it out the village
She deserves the tropics
And I was raised around them killers
You know, round them rockets
Where they'd put metal to yo mouth
Just like an orthodontist
No gas at all I went from convict
To being a comet
Ouu

'Cause you were made to
Do what no one's done
And though they shade you
You shine like the sun
'Cause you were made to
Do what no one's done
And though they shade you
You shine like the sun
Sun, sun, sun

Shine, shine, shine
Shine on all of them, shine on all of them
My umi said to shine your light
So shine on all of them
Shine, shine, shine
Shine on all of them, shine on all of them
My umi said to shine your light
So shine on all of them
