Deante’ Kyle

I was, like, observing that, really taking it in as a young person that, like, this shit don't make me feel good.

Because there's something behind this where I know I'm with my sisters and I know they, like, my mama took her time and got them all done up and they look beautiful and y'all ain't saying shit.

And, like, I don't even want to be here.

And y'all complimenting me.

You know what I'm saying?

They excited.

They happy to be around.

I'm like, man, I want to play the game.

I want to be with my friends.

I don't even know these folk.

You know what I'm saying?

This family, you know, it's like these folk.

You know, these folk like, yeah, you know, I remember when you was, man, I don't know you, man.

You know what I'm saying?

But I think the thing is, it made me very aware of young.

Like, oh, there's a difference in how we treat it, even within our family.

So it's like, I don't want to ever get involved in that shit.

I don't never want to get involved in like,

making my identity about being light-skinned.

That shit weird.
