Interracial

Yeah

Different worlds

Same room

(uh-huh, yeah)

You walked in

All your friends laughing

I froze up

Heart still tapping

My mom said

"Boy

This might be hard"

Your dad side-eye’d me in the yard

But you smile like rules don’t matter

Sip your drink

Make my thoughts scatter

You say

"Why you looking so scared?"

I say

"Girl

Look at us

They stare"

Interracial

But our hearts talk the same

Got your lipstick on my face

They can’t wash away your name

Interracial

Every shade in this flame

Let them whisper

Let them hate

You still running through my veins

Lil’ mama

They been talking all week

Say we too mixed up

Say we too unique

Grandma trippin’ off your tattoos and slang

Uncle trippin’ off my hair and my chain (yeah)

But we laugh

Hit the drive-thru late

Play your old-school songs

Let the world rotate

You lean on my shoulder

Scrolling through your page

Caption say

"Love don’t come in just one shade" (talk to ’em)

Interracial

But our hearts talk the same

Got your lipstick on my face

They can’t wash away your name

Interracial

Every shade in this flame

Let them whisper

Let them hate

You still running through my veins

Dinner table

All that tension

Eyes roll

Little side comments

But your hand finds mine under plates

Ten fingers say more than debates

We ain’t here to fit in their frame

We the picture they scared to hang

If love’s wrong the way we do it

Why it feel so right when we move through it? (yeah)

Interracial

But our hearts talk the same

Got your lipstick on my face

They can’t wash away your name

Interracial

Every shade in this flame

Let them whisper

Let them hate

You still running through my veins
