Blessing And A Curse - Poo Bear, Ashley Joi

Spent half of my life in denial

Was an ongoing trial

Already, for better or worse

Left in the hands of a jury

On the other side, oh I would go

It’s a blessing and a curse

I never understood this on me

I didn’t ask to look the way that I do

Did all this bullying derive from envy?

Was I guilty of it too?

I wasn’t dark enough to hang with those girls

But I wasn’t white enough to be red and blue

Ooh, stuck in-between me, myself and I, forced to face the truth

Spent half of my life in denial

Was an ongoing trial

Already, for better or worse

Left in the hands of a jury

On the other side, oh I would go

It’s a blessing and a curse

Got old enough to know my beauty

Brought me to places I could only imagine

And I learnt it all don’t come duty-free

Never fall on entrapment

And as much as I wish it was different

I wouldn’t have it any other way

'Cause it taught me how to pay attention, what a price to pay

Spent half of my life in denial

Was an ongoing trial

Already, for better or worse

Left in the hands of a jury

On the other side, oh I would go

It’s a blessing and a curse

Spent half of my life in denial…

It’s a blessing and a curse

Left in the hands of a jury…

It’s a blessing and a curse
