Ajax The Lesser - Black Orchid Lyrics

[Intro: Ajax the Lesser]
I walk around in my worst waking nightmare
It’s like a day dream mixed with a night terror
It’s like if light cream was split with nice care
Into the useful and the useless parts
Sugar and white air
Was raised to only ever fight fair
And told that if I ever elevated that most people might stare
Cause too much lime light on some dark skin sometimes
Usually
Always leads to a slight glare


[Chorus: Ajax the Lesser]
And I’m the Black Orchid
Yes I’m the Black Orchid
And I’m the Black Orchid
Yes I’m the black
I’ve been the Black Orchid yes indeed
I’ve been the Black Orchid since my teens
I’ve been the Black Orchid since my tweens
I’ve been the black

[Verse 1: Ajax the Lesser]
Get blunted
Yeah my growth was stunted
I wasn’t able to breathe ever since I was a youngin
I wasn’t able to see any other way above it
So I’d drop to my knees and just clutch my stomach
And through necessity I just learned to love it
And every time I’d bleed I’d just curse and rub it
And my successive needs made me think it was because its
All because of me
That my actions to stubborn
You too big too dark you too loud
You dumb nigga, play your part in the crowd
You can't hoop or sell drugs what u gunna do now
Got no use when u gunna figure out?
And I don’t like that train of thought
I don’t do well in planes or cars
They all thought that I came to spar
But I’m far from the fighter you saw
[Chorus: Ajax the Lesser]
And I’m the Black Orchid
Yes I’m the Black Orchid
And I’m the Black Orchid
Yes I’m the black
I’ve been the Black Orchid yes indeed
I’ve been the Black Orchid since my teens
I’ve been the Black Orchid since my tweens
I’ve been the black

[Bridge: Ajax the Lesser]
And one more time for the young negroes
Searching everywhere high and low for they heroes
I said
And one more tome for the young black kids
Trying desperately to try and do what they heard rap did
I said
One more time for the dark skinned ones
The ones try to laugh and wait for they grins to come
One more time, yeah
One more time

[Verse 2: Ajax the Lesser]
Made who I am from special conditions
That extra weight and extra pressure
Yeah that perfect position
And the slightest deviation from where I be sitting
Got me turned into that black soot erased by them children, but
I am not no diamond
Everything I am came from consignment
And my stars got knocked out of alignment
Thrown off my path and I’m still tryna find it, but
[Chorus: Ajax the Lesser]
And I’m the Black Orchid
Yes I’m the Black Orchid
And I’m the Black Orchid
Yes I’m the black
I’ve been the Black Orchid yes indeed
I’ve been the Black Orchid since my teens
I’ve been the Black Orchid since my tweens
I’ve been the black

[Outro: Ajax the Lesser]
Fix your glasses
Prepare for some spectacle
Cotton pick the right words
To make my politics respectable
No matter the volume I’m always too black for any decibel
Our significant figures are only measured in decimals
And even our best would only rest on inverted pedestals
Shuck and jive over the span of 4 years
Smile wide enough to cover the span of 4 ears
Black Orchid
