Alien
I’m not here to plead
Or ask for your sympathy
Are you too blind to see
Who’s the blackest?
Is medicine your sole benefit
Did you develop it to for your menacing?
You wave your arms in victory
The cost of your opportunity
I don’t want ‘em
You’re so clean and brown
So clean and brown

Ooh
To tell yourself the truth
Is hard to do
Ooh
The little lies
That build up just to get me through
Ooh
My day to day
My day to day
My day to fade away
Hide these eyes away
From the hard truths that you have to face
The world keeps turning
It will always change
Accept yourself
Return to late
Return to self
Return your fate
Return to love
Return to love
Return return

And that’s where I’m at
So
Return to oneself
Return to the motherland
Return to your mind
