Arienne Smith - RAZOR BLADE(PLUS A GHETTO PASS)

STEEL, SILVER STEEL reflecting my skin like a mirror
ripping my flesh open deeper and deeper
BROUGHT UP in the southside of top city
black, white tendencies
DOING what the communists do

RED DROPS falling to the ground, the sound
drip
drop
drip
drop
SPLASHING on impact STAINS that cant be removed sticking to the brain
FEELING the pain for a quick second
STARING at the marks on my own flesh
FRIENDS say thats what the white people do you dummy
but it doesnt matter
STRUGGLING to maintain a ghetto pass
im a young black girl acting an ass
TRYING TO ruin my own by taking on white stereotypes
why the hell now
I walk alone down the hall strutting my ghetto pass and razor blade
BLACK or WHITE what happens when its to late
Im just a girl with a razor blade and a ghetto pass
TRYING to make my own last

Arienne Smith
