lyrics

boi hood

remember when i was a boy // me neither // but my momma used to braid my hair all up // tight // bamboo in 1b // & i used to hate mirrors then // changed my name to kevin // but only when them cornrows was in // a chip off the ole hood // call it a block // a lapse in memory // i shapeshift into boy // ride my scooter & dart bullets // storm through playgrounds // remember when i had a boy’s parts // me neither // but my momma used to buy so much of our clothes from old navy during black friday // & i hated getting jeans from there // made me look like i had something to hide in my pants // made me look extra down there // & i have never been nothin // if not too much // somethin bout the inseam // i swear // i tornado thru puberties // made me boy when i didn’t know how to be // made me so aware of the way clothes took shape on my body without my permission // & i hated lookin like that // like hard jutted through my cheekbones // i north avenue // even in my finest dresses
