What's Wrong With Me to You? (Song)
Minus bias, what real flaws can they identify?
V1. As I wake up and prepare for the day
I brace myself for the sunshine saying "hey hey hey",
Then a force from the world drags me down
From slurs and threats to banish from town
Reminding me that life isn't always sweet or sound.
A pinch of desire to fix live "mistakes",
Low self esteem is all that those hopes make.
With perfection sketched in the minds' eye,
And dreams silenced by the boss' lies,
All diversity and color surely dies.
Chorus. What's wrong to you to believe you can see if I'm a waste of space
To you to not care about despair on my face?
When you think this oppression's all just a game
And you know my intentions before my name
And putting folks down is all but anything new
What's wrong with me to you?
V2. As you hide from foes with fear
Feeling that protection comes from peers
Within the hug, there's a stab in the back,
When support and love they seem to lack,
Go find your crowd once your bags are set and packed.
Chorus. What's wrong to you to say abnormality makes the world die out
To you to think empathy is weak without a hint of doubt?
When you think cookie cutters lead to the light
And bias isn't wrong, but always right,
And putting folks down is all but anything new
What's wrong with me to you?
Bridge. When what's unexpected is all you can see,
And we all view the world differently,
You hide your fear by saying we're all wrong,
When given chances actually makes each other strong.
V1. As I wake up and prepare for the day
I brace myself for the sunshine saying hey hey hey.
Chorus. What's wrong to you to mute the songs that sing a different tune
To you to deny potential high enough to reach the moon?
When you think different shapes form violence
And separation is all that makes sense,
When you only accept those who are like you
And you feel pride once you hear boo hoo,
When you think this oppression's all just a game
And you know my intentions before my name
And putting folks down is all but anything new,
What's wrong with me to you?
