Letra de Blue Eyes - VIC MENSA

Imagine me

Lovin' what I see when the mirror look at me, 'cause I

I imagine me

In a place

No insecurities and I'm finally happy 'cause

I imagine me

I used to wanna have blue eyes

I used to wanna have blue eyes

It's like I was livin' two lives

Internalized self-hatred with racism in society is as American as apple pies

Psychologically terrorized

To the point where the mirror could even tell you lies

I would stare at my parents and wonder why my appearance was different, used to wish I was white, would fantasize

Kindergarten, labeled retarded, was traumatized

The pipeline had started me into homicides

Tellin' me I'm a felony or I'm a disability so the natural progression for me was suicide

Aspired to it at only five

Either that or the bluest eye

Identity clash, who am I?

If I could speak to a younger me, I would rewrite my history

And tell me that you're beautiful 'cause you alive

Imagine me

Lovin' what I see when the (I used to wanna have blue eyes) mirror look at me 'cause I

I imagine me (I used to wanna have blue eyes, I used to wanna have blue eyes)

In a place

With no insecurities and I'm finally happy 'cause (I used to wanna have blue eyes)

I imagine me

She always wanna have blue eyes

She always wanna have blue eyes

An oxymoron like true lies

Fightin' demons inside you, use a lightening, a cream to hide her complexion, killin' herself from the inside

She couldn't handle the sunshine

Her skin developped the cancer in the enzymes

What she thought was the answer, had now threatened to cancel the melanin that's protectin' her, it's a thin line

It deeply affected her when her husband died

Her innermost insecurities got magnified

African woman lost to the shadow of white supremacy

Where the lighter your skin would be, it'd be glorified

Generations and centuries we've been victimized

Started viewin' ourselves through our oppressors' eyes

I wrote this verse for my auntie, I'll send these words in Ashanti

I want you to know that your culture is where you're power lies

Could you imagine? Could you imagine me? (Woah, woah)

Could you imagine? Could you imagine me? (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Could you imagine? (Yeah, uh) Could you imagine me?

Could you imagine?

Could you imagine? (Yeah) Could you imagine me? (Yeah, yeah, ooh, woah)
