Do I need to earn my hair, my skin?
Learn our vocal inflections, and I'm in
When they'll line us up and can't even tell us apart?
'Cause I'll be judged like you no matter what
They make us deflect and reject
Use foolish words, lose self respect
Now look, those same mouths that berate
Grab our plate
Yes, the wave is beautiful
But so interchangeable
Soak in the sand, tides rise again
The ocean's insatiable
Do they taste our sweet beans and tiny fish?
Fish salty wax with a tiny pick?
That must mean something in your book right?
I can't be boxed in on both sides
Yes the wave is beautiful
But so interchangeable
Soak in the sand, tides rise again
The ocean's insatiable
See the skin, see its glow
Watch the moves, the shows
I wait for them to lose their interest and choose
Another people to suck and leech
Till we're obsolete
I guess it's healing for me to feel pride
But I know they'll recede like the tide
