I still play to their chords.
Livin' within conventions.
Livin' within restrictions.
Livin' within a structure.
Lettin' someone write my story.

Toye is preparing for his piano exam to get into a prestigious music school. He's doing it for the contacts, the opportunity, the love of art. But when he notices the lack of Black British history in his school's curriculum, he begins to question himself and the world around him. Toye wants to follow his dream. but he can't let these institutions write his story. He decides to teach his classmates about Black cultural icons himself, but quickly discovers that not everyone wants Black historv to be celebrated.
