I know well the weight of your scorn
Treated as a monster since I was born (born, born)
Whenever my cap adorned my head
Ladies clutched their purses with dread (with dread)

Viewed with suspicion, arms crossed in stores
Neighbors in a posh enclave
shutting doors (shutting doors)
Denied a simple greeting, a nod
Stamped with a label, a biased façade (biased façade)

But I'm unapologetic, I'll rise above
Won't let your judgments define me, no, no
In the elite neighborhood where I reside
I've faced rejection, a relentless tide (relentless tide)

But my soul, indomitable and strong
Endures their ignorance, proving them wrong
I exist, here I stand, like a creature they fear
Thriving, claiming spaces, in spite of their sneer
