gradient - lâlka lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
try not to freak ya
‘cause i’m an alien
can’t even tell ya
where i’m from
it’s complicated
tried to be like ya
but my melanin’s a sin
can’t even show ya
all the papercuts i’ve been holding in
[pre*chorus]
i live in a world where left is right
do you see me? do you see me?
i’m that gradient that turns you blind
do you see me, ‘cause i can’t see me
in your eyes

[chorus|
i’m that gradient that turns you blind
i’m that gradient that turns you blind

[post*chorus]
i’m that gradient, i’m that gradient, i’m that gradient that turns you blind

[verse 2]
wash me till i’m white
like i’m a neophyte
spoke in a foreign tongue
since i was young
it’s complicated
i’m saturated
but you want me faded
my insides shatter
like the pieces of a million prisms

[pre*chorus]
i live in a world where left is right
do you see me? do you see me?
i’m that gradient that turns you blind
do you see me, ‘cause i can’t see me
in your eyes
[chorus]
i’m that gradient that turns you blind
i’m that gradient that turns you blind

[bridge]
so look at me, what do you see?
i spent my whole life trying to be
i’m not your kind
your kingdom’s not designed
for me
i turn you blind

[post*chorus]
i’m that gradient, i’m that gradient
i’m that gradient, i’m that gradient

[outro]
microinvalidations:
subtly or obviously denying the experiences, feelings, or thoughts
that people of colour have
for example:
“i don’t see colour”
“we’re all human beings”
“all lives matter”
what it does is make people of colour feel
invisible
