Shady Bitch
I’ve been called a nigger in the summer
Then beaner until late fall
But winter til mid spring
No one guesses wtf I am at all!
Cause I’m a shady bitch
Shape shifting witch
I am rainbow colored inside and out
People always try to figure me out
They ask if I’m Hawaiian Middle Eastern
Mexican part Korean or a quarter Jew
(Nice hair)
I say no I’m not but thanks a lot
I do enjoy their food
In the shade cause I’m a bitch
A shade privileged bitch
I am rainbow colored inside and out
Don’t even try to figure me out
I’m black I’m white I’m native
I might just be a smidge of something else
(Who knows)
But one things for sure my heart is pure
I’m just trying to be myself
And still I get called a nigger in the summer
Then beaner through late fall
But I never get called a wetback
Because I’m to light and too tall
Oh Yes I said it!
Winter through spring
Don’t you forget it
I could pass for half anything
I’m so shady
Shape shifting and rainbow colored
I could be anybody’s
Sister cousin or mother
I keep my ass out of the sun
To minimize exposure to racism
Ain’t that some shit?
I’m such a shady bitch
