Tone down your black excellence  
 
Tone down your black excellence 
So that way we can see you not  
Succeed….we can feel better about  
Ourselves and be better than you  
Cos you’re not suppose to be  
More successful than us…only us 
Can be great  
Cos we’re superior…please  
Tone down your black excellence  
Even your blackness… 
Make us feel at easy… 
If you’re aggressive  
and yell at us  
There’d be consequences  
You will be put in your place  
If you don’t comply  
We’ll do somethin dangerous  
 
Tone down your black excellence  
Your black joy 
Cos I said so… 
 
- 
 
All I’m hearin 
Is  
The voice of a  
Real inferiority  
Complex 
It’s all in between the lines and  
Coverups to protect this whiteness  
So it won’t shatter… 
I can see it through the masquerade  
Since I study racism on my own  
On a daily basis…. 
 
The funny part  
Is that white supremacy  
Got us envy for white folks  
When really  
They’re the ones who are deeply  
Insecure… 
 
It goes to show  
Us that there’s nothing Wrong  
With our whole black people 
The entire time… 
It’s them… 
 
I would like to point  
That nobody is better than  
Anybody….and nobody is  
Perfect….there shouldn’t be  
Jealousy but here  
 
We are… 
White peoples are still  
Jealous….
