Ink and Blood
Avin sanap[Verse 1] I walk in, air grows cold, Eyes shift, a story told. Don't belong, yet I'm here, Disturbing peace, fueled by fear. [Chorus] Paranoia, you may say, But patterns haunt me every day. Polite smiles, a chilling grace, Racism served in every place. [Verse 2] "You're different," they softly plead, But in my skin, a different creed. Quiet enough, no alarm bells ring, Educated, no power I bring. Still Black enough, the door clicks shut, A silent judgment, deeply cut. [Chorus] Paranoia, you may say, But patterns haunt me every day. Polite smiles, a chilling grace, Racism served in every place. [Bridge] Tone I watch, hands held with care, A practiced smile, beyond compare. Safety's a stage, a role I play, To navigate this world each day. [Chorus] Paranoia, you may say, But patterns haunt me every day. Polite smiles, a chilling grace, Racism served in every place. [Outro] This ain't a cry, a simple note, Laws in ink, we read in blood, remote. [End]
