I'm Use to Oregon

I've seen those smiles, I've smelled those trees

And I'm used to it

I can't be me not here you see

And I'm used to it

I can't stand up for myself if I want to keep my job

And I'm used to it

I can't wear bright colors if I want to fit in

And I'm used to it

I can't wear my hair natural, the way I was born

And I'm used to it

I can't have my own beliefs outside my lips

And I'm used to it

I can't go to lunch with my mate and not be stared at

And I'm used to it

I can't walk by a car without hearing doors lock

And I'm used to it

I can't get on an elevator without someone grasping their pocket or purse

And I'm used to it

I can't get the job I want because my credit was born bad

And I'm used to it

I can't get you to see the real me because of my color

And I'm used to it

I can't get you to love me & trust me because you had a bad experience

And I'm used to it

I've heard that excuse and I'm used to it

I've grown up in OREGON

And I'm used to it.
