"...got me in my feelings." : the songs, 2018.


10/blood orange/jewelry

for these five shimmering, contemplative minutes, devonte hynes would like you, the other, to remember that your black is beautiful. this space and this world you inhabit is yours. they want you to stay indoors, not speak up, or luxuriate in your melanin glow; "try to put you down by saying, 'she's doing the most' or 'he's way too much'" to throw you off track and keep you from unlocking your true potential and standing tall in your black excellence. but nigga, we off that. feel yourself. be like he over the course of this track: acknowledge the struggle, but don't let it stop your forward momentum. shine and show all the way up daily.

and wear that shit like jewelry.
