ryanwise - Bougie Lyrics




Insecurity is a truly mighty foe
That nigga could make Aphrodite think she's ugly bro
And it really don't help when whitey says your nothing
Though you feel something when you hear 'em say that
Wait now the stories changed
"You're not nothing
Well you're not one of us, but you're not them
Somewhere between nothing and something
Some substance
You're an anomaly, you're different, we love it"
That's been my life for like six years now
I'm just trying to move on to new frontiers now
Trying to put that in my rear now
Trying to drive out of here
Without every single old person stopping to stare
Yes, a nigga in your neighborhood! Surprising I know
Cause this ain't the place for a person who despises the snow
Their energizing my bad side
Blood pressures rising and rising
It sucks that I'm stuck in a place that I could plausibly die in
Just for being Ryan
Whether I get myself or they get me first somebodies trying
And all the while the outside world is screaming
"Why you crying? We barely surviving and you complain while u getting a good education?"
This is too big a dilemma for a young fella who doesn't
Know who he his cause everyone's been trying to tell him
So, I lied to myself until I believed it
You should do it
Sometimes the path to the truth is deceiving

I'm a prep school style icon
I'm just searching for the right one
Someone who will turn the lights on
Cause I cry alone at night time

Do I count? Do I get called on the roll?
When I go to a private school in khakis and a polo
When I don't listen to the songs they play on the radio
Or when I'm not a watermelon fan or can't clean the bone of a chicken
Fitting in to the stereotype of a regular niglet isn't
At all very realistic
Is it worse to be ostracized, looked at different cause your skin
Or to have your identity questioned cause their expectations (I don't know)
It's that kid (Oreo)
All you jokers (already know)
Black outside (white middle)
I just ask (why me though)
Yo, I'm lost (find me, yo)
Insecurity (mighty foe)
Yo I'm lost (by negro!)
See! That's the problem
I don't know what I am and what I'm not
The gospel's that it's impossible
I'm at the bottom of the barrel waiting for the sun to shine so I will blossom
But I don't know what flower I will be after the autumn the winter the spring comes, I guess
I'm not confident enough to say what species I am with my chest
Like to brag in my raps but I'm certainly not at my best
Because the voice of my soul says something different than all the rest
Don't know if the old me will come out of this live or dead
Please get out of my head
It's just me and my conscience
I don't really know who Ryan is
