Never Know
• Written by user849475677
(Verse 1)
I have no idea how you feel, that's real,
Grew up bullied as a kid, trying to heal,
But your pain’s a story that I’ll never know,
What it means to wear skin darker than the glow
Of heavily creamed coffee, thick and bold,
A shade that the world has too often controlled.
(Chorus)
I will never know your strife,
The weight of the world when it cuts like a knife.
But know this, I’m here to build,
It’s not a skin issue, it’s the sin we’ve spilled.
(Verse 2)
Authority came for me, broke my trust,
Left me hating the system, left me in dust.
But my rage, my wounds, they’re different than yours,
I’ve never felt my blood run cold on the floor.
When blue frames a face full of anger and spite,
Or when betrayal’s reflection matches your fight.
(Chorus)
I will never know your strife,
The weight of the world when it cuts like a knife.
But know this, I’m here to build,
It’s not a skin issue, it’s the sin we’ve spilled.
(Bridge)
Even though I’ve been hurt by people like you,
Made fun of, threatened, attacked, it’s true.
But pain’s not a pigment, it’s deeper than skin,
It’s the flaw of humanity, the darkness within.
We’re all victims, but the system’s still skewed,
And I’m standing with you, no matter the feud.
(Outro)
So while I’ll never know the depths of your feels,
I’ll listen, I’ll learn, and I’ll help to heal.
Because hate’s not the answer, love is the seal,
To break the chain, to turn the wheel.
