Neverland

You can never have this, is what I was told when I was born
Not your country its your Neverland

Yet I excelled at all they gave me they smiled and pretended
Not your country its your Neverland

So I pushed harder not to please them but to prove to myself
I will have what the ancestors Never had in Neverland

They died for me and bled for me and cried for me they pushed harder
So that I could have what the ancestor Never had in Neverland

Black like me but only white they see I fell beneath
Not your country its your Neverland

Drowned out in a haze of drugs and smoke my prison where I was to die and choke
Not your country its your Neverland

Rose up from despair cried for the hope that my ancestors had and pushed harder still
I will have what the ancestors Never had cause I'm clever man

Two degrees and counting drugs and clouds behind me purpose driven
I will have what the ancestors Never had and hell yeah I'm clever man

Preparing my mind learning how to thrive
Neverland was a Never plan and in it I rise

Black woman in a white man's world smooth and easy I ride
Neverland is my forever plan and here I am SURPRISE
