I know well the weight of your scorn Treated as a monster since I was born (born, born) Whenever my cap adorned my head Ladies clutched their purses with dread (with dread) Viewed with suspicion, arms crossed in stores Neighbors in a posh enclave, shutting doors (shutting doors) Denied a simple greeting, a nod Stamped with a label, a biased façade (biased façade) But I'm unapologetic, I'll rise above Won't let your judgments define me, no, no In the elite neighborhood where I reside I've faced rejection, a relentless tide (relentless tide) But my soul, indomitable and strong Endures their ignorance, proving them wrong I exist, here I stand, like a creature they fear Thriving, claiming spaces, in spite of their sneer
