Complicated
Unveiling Life's Complexity through Jazz Sanusi's Melody
Lyrics
I reminisce about the time I let it go
I reflect on the time when I allowed something to go.
About the time I should have said no
Reflecting on the time when I should have refused.
I realize a little, but way too late
I realize a little, but it's too late.
About when I should have paid attention
Regretting not paying attention when I should have.
But you asked
Someone asked a question.
Does it really matter
Is it really important?
Does it really care that much, just ignore the bunch
Questioning the significance, suggesting to ignore negative opinions.
But it does (It does) comments about how I'm pretty for a mixed girl
Comments about appearance and race affect the person.
About my face, how I waist and how I might taste
Comments on physical appearance and potential objectification.
But it's a It's a It's a little more complicated
Emphasizing that the situation is more complex than it seems.
It's a It's a a little more complicated
-It's a It's a a little more complicated
-Then you know
Revealing that there's more to the person than what is shown.
More than I show
-I speak my truth from strength, not trauma
-Although some will call it drama
Speaking one's truth from strength rather than trauma.
I reveal what's in the back of my mind
Revealing thoughts and struggles kept in the mind, attempts to let them slide.
All the time and how I try to let it slide
-But now that it's all out there
Now that everything is exposed, advocating for accurate representation.
So let's take the time to actually represent what I'm all about
-And guess what
Emphasizing that the person defies stereotypical perceptions.
It's not your stereotypical perception
Reiterating the complexity of the situation beyond stereotypes.
It's a It's a It's a little more complicated
-It's a It's a a little more complicated
-It's a It's a a little more complicated
-Then you know
Highlighting that there's more to the person than what is shown.
More than I show
-So welcome to my party of downplaying experience
Welcoming others to an experience of downplaying.
Imma queen of correcting with a smile
Identifying as a queen who corrects with a smile.
But I'm a triple threat educated young sis
Describing oneself as a triple threat, educated with lifelong goals.
With goals for a lifetime
-And I am jazz all about the love and good vibes
Identifying with love, good vibes, and challenging stereotypes.
Trying to defy all the stereotypes going round round round cause
-It's a It's a It's a little more complicated now yeah
Repeating the complexity of the situation and its challenges.
It's a It's a a little more complicated now yeah
-It's a It's a It's a little more complicated
Stressing the intricate nature of the person beyond external appearances.
Then you know
-More than I show
Reiterating that there's more to the person than meets the eye.
Cause it's a It's a It's a little more complicated now yeah
Highlighting the ongoing complexity of the situation.
It's a It's a a little more complicated now yeah
-It's a It's a a little more complicated
-Then you know
Stressing that there's more depth to the person than what is visible.
More than I show
-It's a It's a It's a little more complicated yeah
Emphasizing the continued complexity of the situation.
