Letra de ' Broken Steel ' de Rochelle Jordan

Why do you think I'm always strong
And always so turned up
Expectations of me lay so skin deep
As if I can take anything, but who’s here to protect me

Looking like the suns going down
Think about the day I feel the pressure come around
Better shut my mouth
If I say my feelings then they'll say that I'm too loud
Blend into the crowd
Once the see my color then they’ll think that I'm too proud and now
They'll think I'm super tough
And made of silver stuff
All while I'm falling apart

In the nighttime I lose it for real
Watching as my cup overfills
Losing all my sense of what I feel
Yes I guess I'm broken steel

Maybe I'm just that soft
Cause you're playing too rough
I am delicate with strengths that I created
For a world that’s always taking
Pieces of who I am without anything worth trading

Looking like the suns going down
Think about the day I feel the pressure come around
Better shut my mouth
If I say my feelings then they’ll say that I'm too loud
Blend into the crowd
Once the see my color then they’ll think that I'm too proud and now
They'll think I'm super tough
And made of silver stuff
All while I'm falling apart

In the nighttime I lose it for real
Watching as my cup overfills
Losing all my sense of what I feel
Yes I guess I'm broken steel

I bare the weight of the world on my hips
Must be strong can't simp
Fed the culture off da tit
Created the wave can't catch my drift
Hide my strength
Talk my shit they buy my lips
Cry my pain they mosh to it
(I hate yall)

You wanna defund I wanna defend
Not the same can't pretend
Mind of orisha, skin of a heathen
I don't walk in rooms where I'm not greeted
Yea
Try me's treason yea yea
Smiles deceiving yea yea
Built this table where I'm seated
If they can manifest destiny why can't you
Need a minute to catch yo breath hmm I need two
Can no longer do the work that they won't do
My race is not my cape ho
Give me space I cry too
