Corey Ross Poet Lyric

Wear It On My Sleeve

I wear my heart on sleeve 
So what I cherish love hate forsake 
Is engraved on my face 
Today is no different so how can I be free
From the prism of my emotions 
The book is open knowledge I'm still soaking what takes time to create 
Is never easily broken 
You can quote me on my past 
But I'm still living in the present 
My adversaries talk behind my back 
So it's evident they respect my presence 
And I appreciate the gesture 
You should appreciate the lecture 
I'm just stating the obvious 
Like how the government turned 
House *****'s in lobbyists 
So I throw up the fist 
So there's no question what I'm bout 
What you put in must come out 
Some say I have no filter 
I say that right there was & is the #1 problem our people stepped back man 
While the Europeans raped & robbed em 
So far me to stop it means 
For me to comply and become europeanized looks like I drew away from the topic 
So allow me to further elaborate 
Some confuse what I speak so profoundly on as harbored up hate when 
This is clearly not the case 
The majority of people who are angry 
It's for a reason not a season 
So ask questions don't assume 
The fumes in the fire will be your guide 

I wear my heart on my sleeve 
Because I can't help it 
But I wouldn't have it any other way 
Even when I say nothing 
My Face displays exactly 
What words can't say 
The saying is people fear 
What they can't or don't understand 
Understand me...
And to understand me is to know me 
To know me is to love me 
And to love me is to know that 
The feeling is mutual
