michael r. jackson - centering myself كلمات الأغنية

because i love black people
i set out to honor us both in story and in song, yeah
that’s what i set out to do
and to dismantle the allwhiteness that’s in all of the stories
that we’re all forced to consume
on every stage and every screen
i grew up on soap operas i used to watch with my great_aunt
we used to watch them every day
before i started in pre_k
so all my earliest childhood memories
were of these white women fighting
in sparkly eighties evening gowns
having s_x in conference rooms
these all shaped my consciousness
before i came to blackness
in the intervening years
when names like trayvon hit the news
names that long stayed in the background
or what you know as the blackground
and that made me really sad
then that made me really mad
and i heard shouting on my facebook
’cause all my news comes from my facebook
that black girls have it just as bad
or even worse, facebook would say
plus in the stories we consume
black women are almost always the servants
of a world that is allwhite
on every stage and every screen
i mean, like, even in most musicals
writers have black women screaming and belting
which is a form of servitude
a form of violence i have seen
so i set out to fix that
and to write a juicy story
where black females ruled the day
and took the allwhite power away
but even though i love black women
and wanted them to have a story
i wound up centering myself
i wound up centering myself
which is a form of misogynoir
which means a hatred of black women
which i am trying to resist
and will keep trying to resist
like how i really hate beyoncé
look, i don’t really hate beyoncé
just how she takes up so much sp_ce
both with her class and with her race
but that’s just [?] and misogynoir
oh, f_ck, the word misogynoir
[?] has no gender specialty
and these divisions allwhite [?] can get free
and also girls like florence blackb_tch
who used to call me f_ggot
in the same voice she loved jesus in
which totally reminds me of beyoncé
even though beyoncé loves her f_ggots
and her f_ggots love beyoncé_ oh!
i keep on centering myself
oh god, i’m centering myself
when all i want to do is make a world
that black people can inhabit
a world that’s nurturing and safe
a world where black people are free
a world where we’re to big to fail
but should that world include me
’cause maybe i don’t belong here
if i keep centering myself
i keep on centering myself
i keep on centering myself
i keep on centering my_
