Black Heart on the Table BHOTT Intro: I'm Still Human

lyrics

I take my heart off my sleeve and put it back on the table
This time it is black the color of my skin
Pain bodies triggers
I cry because I am still human
I want to participate in life
My Magic can’t keep fixing it
Can’t keep shoring things up
Can’t keep falsely holding things up
I’ve got to deal with my humanity and all it’s forms all it’s forms

You mammied me and I accepted it
You bullied me and I allowed it
You’ve trained me and branded me
And I bleed while remaining complicit in my silence

The reality is My Magic Can’t fix this
Because I’m still human
I know I’m magical
But I am also human
And I got to grieve
I got to grieve
I got to grieve
I got to grieve
This heart’s comes off my sleeve

Warrior’s put their heart on the table when they have something to deal with and prove
So I take my black heart off my sleeve and I put it on this table
Cause although I am Magical
I AM HUMAN
And If I want humanity right
My black heart has to heal
My black heart has to heal
My black heart has to heal
My black heart has to heal


LADIES AND GENTLEMEN
I want to welcome you to the black heart on the table Experience
Where you will watch this lady tear herself down and be built back up
