Lyrics Brown Boy - Tunde Olaniran

Brown Boy

Tryna figure out
Who I am
What to be
But it’s just not happen-ing
Lights on the ground
Check out my surroundings
Yo steady breaking through until I get understood
Try to stop me, get a splinter
Cause I’m like «I wish they would»
In a barrel they’re found
Kill each other for the crown
But when I come through your town
Break it up, I shut it down
It’s like everytime I wanna get a view
They’re throwing shade
Now what’s a brown kid to do
So instead I put those
Suckas suckas suckas on blast
And you can tell the man
That he can kiss my ahh
Hey, I’m every single thing you think of me
I’m a?
killer drugged in the refugee
So keep your jaw locked
And I keep the peace
They act like they don’t wanna
But man they know me
Cause I’m a brown boy
I’ma I’ma brown boy
I’m a brown boy
I’ma I’ma brown boy
I’m a brown boy
I’ma I’ma brown boy
Tryna figure out
What to do
What’s true
Think of any way that I can break through
Or what else I can give
Be sure I can find it
Left of the center is where I spend my time
I’m brave enough to know I need to leave the peace behind
Cause I could be charred up in the barbecue
But still come out and not be black enough for you
And then these questions
They can really trip me up
Especially when they prove to be real tough
Like can I be a man?
Can I not love?
Pledge allegiance to the flag of revelation
I’m every single thing you think of me
I’m a?
killer drugged in the refugee
So keep your jaw locked
And I keep the peace
They act like they don’t wanna
But man they know me
Cause I’m a brown boy
I’ma I’ma brown boy
I’m a brown boy
I’ma I’ma brown boy
I’m a brown boy
I’ma I’ma brown boy
What else can I give?
I can’t let go
What else can I give?
I won’t say no
What else can I give?
What else can I give?
What else can I give?
What else can I give?
I’m every single thing you think of me
I’m a?
killer drugged in the refugee
So keep your jaw locked
And I keep the peace
They act like they don’t wanna
But man they know me
Cause I’m a brown boy
I’ma I’ma brown boy
I’m a brown boy
I’ma I’ma brown boy
I’m a brown boy
I’ma I’ma brown boy
I’m every single thing you think of me
I’m a?
killer drugged in the refugee
So keep your jaw locked
And I keep the peace
They act like they don’t wanna
But man they know me
Cause I’m a brown boy
I’ma I’ma brown boy
I’m a brown boy
I’ma I’ma brown boy
I’m a brown boy
I’ma I’ma brown boy
