Neonblack - One of the Good Ones Lyrics

Sadness is in my eyes
I've lost my whole identity
The person that I think I am, the one that I pretend to be
I don't feel like neither
I keep feeling the place where I belong is such a silly idea
Don't you ever call me one of the good ones
I am not here for you and I'm not playing along
I been counter-culture
Not trying to make no friends, that'll insult ya
Make you feel welcome and then they hurt ya
Like "nah, you ain't like them
That's why we are your friends
Because you're more like us
And we don't trust your kin
And you don't make no fuss
That's why we let you in
You make us comfortable
With our situation"
But nah fuck that noise
I ain't like one of your boys
I be a product of my environment I'll raise my voice
I'll be loud and reckless
I don't give a fuck about your attention
I'm neither of those pictures in your mind

I ain't never been one of the good ones
This is who I am I don't do this shit for fun
Said I ain't never been one of the good ones
This is who I am I don't do this shit for fun
You think there's thrill in being this
We're like this 'cuz of where we live

I've been thinking different
Since beginning
Living clean
Doing dirty intermittent
Niggas know the difference
Gotta be a certain way to survive
Wear a whole different face to thrive
In this society
Yeah, I be code switching
On my own mission
Gotta stay driven
This facade forbidden
So I keep my truth inside of me
Criminal criminal
That what my skin says
Oh, you ain't racist
I mean it's just subliminal
How am I so professional?
I shook your hand that's a miracle
My pants don't sag that's so ethical
I must be one them good ones
'Cuz the others so fucked up
Saying they lives matter
Riot but then they scatter
"Just 'cuz we shot a little
Look I'm not trying to belittle
But there's a reason
Y'all all see prison
See savages don't deserve living
But you, you seem more human"
But you don't know a thing about me
I'm still a nigga don't you ever doubt me
Mothafucka

I ain't never been one of the good ones
This is who I am I don't do this shit for fun
Said I ain't never been one of the good ones
This is who I am I don't do this shit for fun
You think there's thrill in being this
We're like this 'cuz of where we live
