[Chorus]
I’m the brown kid
Living in white America
My skin ain't fair
But if you care, you’ll judge me on my character
The brown kid living in white America
The shame is I expect to be affected by xenophobic criteria
The brown kid living in white America
My doppelgänger featured in the news usually causes mass hysteria
Brown kid in white America
Not easy as that seems
It’s no extremes
But it’s everything in between
[Verse 1]
Who’s willing to foot the bill for my American dream
Nuance gets lost, that’s the cost of how we talk in extremes
Black and white havoc is the static of my darkest of dreams
False dichotomies often mean that I get lost in between
See, I’m the middle ground, middle child, I get left undiscussed
Radiant shade of grey but I get left off the brush
The brown sheep, though I’ve been walking the midst of the white flock
Wrong piece, though I’ve been trying to tick to the right clock
I’m the brown kid
Living in white America
My skin ain't fair
But if you care, you’ll judge me on my character
The brown kid living in white America
The shame is I expect to be affected by xenophobic criteria
The brown kid living in white America
My doppelgänger featured in the news usually causes mass hysteria
Brown kid in white America
Not easy as that seems
It’s no extremes
But it’s everything in between
[Verse 1]
Who’s willing to foot the bill for my American dream
Nuance gets lost, that’s the cost of how we talk in extremes
Black and white havoc is the static of my darkest of dreams
False dichotomies often mean that I get lost in between
See, I’m the middle ground, middle child, I get left undiscussed
Radiant shade of grey but I get left off the brush
The brown sheep, though I’ve been walking the midst of the white flock
Wrong piece, though I’ve been trying to tick to the right clock
