Biracial
Im tired of the underestimation that comes with being biracial
Tryna stay pretty so I dont have to deal with the words
Painting my nails, doing my hair, while im scrubbin off a facial
Cause you know looks are more attractive, how absurd.
Am I black or am I white?
Why cant I be both?
My race should go out of site
Because that “All Live Matter” protest is just a hippocratic oath
I love my caramel tinted skin tone
And the tan I was born with
They will know im a biracial queen, even without my throne
And that whole “words never hurt” is a myth
Im blessed to be beautiful and mixed
And no longer will the world underestimate me, because im already fixed!

The struggles and the looks that come with being biracial is something I personally overcame. I went to an all-white school and I was too black but when I go to a school that is diverse and has many cultures, I am accused of trying to act black. I feel stuck and in between worlds but now I am proud to have the best of both worlds. I am biracial and not ashamed whatsoever.
