'An artist & more'
They don’t love me for no reason.
They don’t love me.
I think that’s why I hate myself
No one hates people who don’t love themselves.
Indeed,
I hate myself,
and it's obvious.
Because I hate the fact that I’m black.
Yes,
I’m black.
I should be proud I’m dark in complexion.
I should have mentioned my name when I was asked,
'Who is capable for the function?'
Within, I was scared.
Nevertheless,
Black is scarce.
Black is different from the same.
Black is untamed.
You and I are the main.
I love you the way I love myself
Love me the way you love yourself too.
