Imagine me Loving what I see when the Mirror look at me Cause I I imagine me In a place With no insecurities and I'm finally happy cause I imagine me I used to wanna have blue eyes I used to wanna have blue eyes It's like I was living two lives Internalized self-hatred where racism in society Is as American as apple pies Psychologically terrorized To the point where the mirror could even tell you lies I would stare at my parents and wonder why my appearance was different Used to wish I was white Would fantasize Kindergarten labeled retarded Was traumatized The pipeline that started me into homicides Telling me I'm a felony or I'm a disability So the natural progression for me was suicide Aspired to it at only five SongtexteEither that or the bluest eye Identity clash who am I If I could speak to a younger me I would rewrite my history And tell me that you're beautiful 'cause you alive Imagine me Loving what I see when that (I didn't want to have blue eyes) Mirror look at me Cause I I imagine me (I didn't want to have blue eyes, I didn't want to have blue eyes) In a place With no insecurities and I'm finally happy cause (I didn't want to have blue eyes) I imagine me She always wanted to have blue eyes She always wanted to have blue eyes An oxymoron like true lies Fighting demons inside Using lightening cream to hide her complexion Killing herself from the inside She couldn't handle the sunshine Her skin developed the cancer in the enzymes What she thought was the answer Had now threatened to cancel the melanin that's protecting her It's a thin line It deeply affected her when her husband died Her innermost insecurities got magnified African woman lost to the shadow of white supremacy When the lighter your skin would be, it'd be glorified Generation and centuries We've been victimized Started viewing ourselves through our oppressors' eyes I wrote this verse for my auntie I'll send these words in Ashanti I want you to know that your culture is where your power lies Could you imagine Could you imagine me (woah woah) Could you imagine Could you imagine me (yeah yeah) Could you imagine Could you imagine me Could you imagine Could you imagine Could you imagine me (ooh) (woah)...
