You Are You - BackWordz

I won’t be held accountable for the hell of the past

I don’t owe a penny or dime to amend for their crimes

Don’t you see?

You’re illusioned and apologizing

For events you had no part in, it’s a mass delusion

Just due to my skin tone they applied a path to me

No matter what my ancestry was, I was never a slave

I must find that it’s asinine that you really think

That the path of mine is determined by another mastermind

Like it’s your life, and that’s out of line

We can’t take the credit for what we did not endure

We can’t pay for the mistakes that man has made before

Apply this to now

We can’t take credit for our father’s successes

This crown is not my own

Let me earn my keep, let me pave my own way

Foolish, when you sit and think about it, it is stupid

That you would take credit for history

That you had nothing to do with

Acting bold and proud, or acting like you’re hurt

But you are owed nothing just because you stood on the same dirt

You are owed nothing

We can’t take the credit for what we did not endure

We can’t pay for the mistakes that man has made before

Go, take what’s yours

Pave your path and find it, go decide it

Go, take control

You’re not obligated to not make it out

Go, take what’s yours

Pave your path and find it, go decide it

Go, take control

You’re not obligated to not make it out

Just due to my skin tone they applied a path to me

No matter what my ancestry was, I was never a slave

I must find that it’s asinine that you really think

That the path of mine is determined by another mastermind

Like it’s your life, and that’s out of line

We can’t take the credit for what we did not endure

We can’t pay for the mistakes that man has made before

We can’t take the credit for what we did not endure

We can’t pay for the mistakes that man has made before
