"Keep your culture to yoself?"

Keep your culture to yourself
Make me comfortable at all costs
I move through communities with ease
With ease
With ease
With ease
Hold your breath
Suffocate your essence
But I will not do the same for you
It won't even cross my mind to do so
I will plow through your life with wit and rage
Condescending to the nothingness that is you; I talk down to you
Congratulate you like a child, like a queen
Like a queen
Like a queen
Like a queen
And when you finally confront me after months or years of this emotional and cultural microagressions I will scoff as if you're delusional and this will make you feel as though you have lost your mind
I'm a boss
I'm a boss
I'm a boss

(With ease, like a queen, I'm a boss. I am not imagining things.)
