Interlude: Pedestals

Solange

Lyrics

But man, I done been through it all, so I, I said

"I wanna tell my story," 'cause I, I never cried or nothing

And that's where the, "Make 'em say, uh-uh," that's like my pain

That's basically what that is, that's my battle cry

Think about it, none of us are perfect

We live in an imperfect world

You know, only God can judge me, that's how I look at it

The people that's sitting around pointing their fingers

Imagine all the stuff they're probably doing

Whether you're police officers, doctors, lawyers, presidents

Whatever, you got good and bad in everything

You know, we're putting people on a pedestal

That's just a human like us, you know?

I mean, they got more drugs in the rich neighborhoods

Than they got in the hood

A lot of their kids dying

From overdose and things like that, think about it

Black kids have to figure it out

We don't have rehabs to go to

You gotta rehab yourself

But for us, you can't pull the plug on us and tell us it's over

Not me
