I Am Me Caila Hall

How does it feel to be born normal To have your love seen as natural While mine’s considered a disease Not have to hide your identity or have it plastered on your sleeve I am black, I am female, and I am gay I am me Take it or leave it Abuse it or beat it Lock me up and take my freedom I am me How does it feel to be you Skin the standard of a beauty History books only speak your truth To not have to worry ‘bout the police Privilege to stand or stay a mute To only see it on the news I am black and I don’t get it I am black and won’t forget shit Understand me as a person that’s black and represent it I am me How does it feel to be you God’s only living proof is just a regular dude Mother nature’s all around They say we came here through you
