The Therapist's Terrorist ft. Sun Deep Lyrics

Mister Raj, welcome to Session seven

So, tell me - what would you like to talk about today

I hit my shrink, unloading trauma up off my dome

Til she called me terrorist, joking inside her comfort zone

The same comfort of dehumanization

Middle Eastern displacement that the people been facing

You barely tryna listen

Tryna spread the guilt like butter with your clarified intentions

It's a paradise of stress existing witcha' feels

Living ill

But I gotta do my part in progressing the convo, so I told you 'bout it to keep it real

Her response was stuttering damn

I just meant your beard was scruffy

That was her reason to cover the sham

And justify the joke just in case it holds up ya guilt

Since I've vented to yo ass about racist trolls that I'd kill

She said

I'm sorry, I'll do better

Shit that happened next had me hoping for true effort

She asking me for advice, well

I'm asking her if my beard would indicate a terrorist if I happened to be a white male

She said

Well, regardless of race

Society perceives every man with an untrimmed beard as a terrorist

Besides, Trumpers stormed the capital, it's evident

They've been treated the same in MY head

See, being Shaggy ain't a race thing to her, she an Angel instead

Screaming "It Wasn't Me", tryna lay the blame to a rest

Project so much, you'd split the Sun in fragments

The point over her head, she stood under to bask it

There's a war going on you almost always been safe from

You think that you're aware, but your comments cause elevation

Center yourself, feeling odd with no even edges

And while you drone off they been bombing our people wreckless

It's all interconnected, cause imminent pressure

If you want a safe space, then launch into the nexus

And get to paying attention

We always had a home til your renovations annexed it

Then evade our expression

So please understand it's not my motherfucking burden to educate your perspective

I don't walk around the world with no reparations embedded

And I don't expect to get nothing back from these fuckin crackers 'cept meditation and prayers

And detonations of meccas that's predicated on tears

Separation of borders and incrementalists pushing they legislation for fear

While my dedication appears to be boiled down to the hue of this melanin in the mirror

Why don't you look in the mirror for once

I was raised through the lens that there's no defying authorities

That bigger picture the code for violence and gory scenes

Papa probably thought he was solarizing my spirit

But they taking headshots while we pose as model minorities

I hate this movie, they been digging the Plot

Cause them boys on film, but still Cinema shot

With body cams, I thought that meant that they'd leave it

Ripping 'em off with bandaid solutions, shit ain't adhesive

And Brown folks align ourselves with supremacists

Every time we cater to light skin or the fetishes

Not understanding that without Black people

We'd never have the privilege to immigrate to the life we live

It's 1965

The Immigration Act that was passed, opened the door to those who isn't white

And only 'cause of civil rights

So us pointing fingers at the community that got us here is so ill advised

And cuz of that shit, I won't oblige… nah

Listen to me, you will oblige

Don't oblige to these crackers, I start a fire with the match that's lit

We been sleep, I know the blind can imagine

They killed Malcolm and then Hampton while throwing lies on they casket

Since they ended in a coffin, we owe our lives to the Activists

It took 23 years for me to honour pain

And recognize we not the same

Cause I was young, Brown, confused and making jokes with N Words

Never looking inwards

How it go when you misdentify with a struggle that don't reflect yours

That Anti-Blackness is what got us on enemy front

We putting down a culture that we borrow identity from

They suited up for funerals in a fit of rage

While we sagged our pants, added slang to the shit we say

Our empathy only extends to when we gettin' paid

Center ourselves, feelin' odd with no even edges

And while we go off, they got Ronald to keep em restless

It's all interconnected, cause imminent pressure

Fuck a safe space, just launch into the nexus

And get to paying attention

Cuz Britain stole Africa

Then enslaved all the children to get the labour expensed

So please understand, it's not your motherfucking burden

To educate my perspective

You don't walk around the world with no reparations embedded

And you can't expect to get nothing back from these fucking crackers

Cept pent up hatred and fear

And detonation of ghettos that's predicated on tears

Separation of class and incrementalists pushing they legislation for fear

Know your dedication and worth is bigger than any part of the melanin in the mirror
