Tasha - Black Happiness

Lyrics


My skin was dark from my past
People used to point at me
Even at my mom Even at my dad who was black, and in the army
People whisper behind my back
Said this and said that
I always had tears in my eyes
Although I was young
I saw my mother's sadness

Everything
seemed like it was my fault
Because of my guilt
I washed my face everytime during the day
With my tears I melt the white soap
I always hated my dark skin
why O why
Does the world judge me
When I hate the world
I close my eyes

I put my soul into the music my father gave me
I feel the volume
And fly higher and higher
Far away
la musique

(When I hate the world)
(Music soothes me)
(you gotta hold on)
(and love yourself)
(When I hate the world)
(Music raises me up)
(so you gotta be strong)
(you gotta hold on)
(and love yourself)

Time passed and I was thirteen
My skin was dark brown
Music doesn't judge color
They give me light
I lead my music
We lean on eachother
I don't feel lonely
Then one day
I was given a chance
I held on to my microphone

And suddenly I was on stage
I say goodbye to music and ask it to come back
Then I became nineteen
I have to lie
I put white makeup over my face
They told me to wear a mask
They said my mom's race was okay
But not my dad's
Every year my age was nineteen
During times when time stopped

I felt like I was in jail
And I leaned on myself
I spent endless, painful days
I ignored their warnings
And because I missed music
I tried to escape
But no, I got caught
I prayed all night
And now I'm free

tasha is not a kpop idol..........she's more than that. she's an ARTIST.

I LOVE TASHA, PERIOD! Her lyrics are always soo deep and true. The BEST rapper in kpop period! There's others too but in my opinion, she's number 1 in kpop. Can't wait til she come back!

Awsome song...being Blasian I can definately relate to the lyrics.

Tasha is serious with the lyrics. As a blk male who is married to a korean and we have a 3yr old , this hits home. Although my daughter is being raised in northern va, its not bad for her at all yet.. Nice song.

On another note. If I close my eyes and listen to her, I dont expect to see her when I open my eyes, I guess im saying she is really pretty but she spits like a dude.

keep doing ur thang..
