That's what they used to yell
back in seventh grade
My mama said she'd get me that
new jacket when the cost go down
Hit the office,
stole some Tommy Hill from lost and found
Not bad for a family of foster child
Lookin' fly man, I'm flossin' now
But them niggas saw through
me
Are you serious? What is this?
Took the jacket off third period,
ellipses
Listening to "Sky is the Limit"
on my Walkman
Thinking if Biggie can make it through it, man,
then I can
Dope boy swag
I always wanted that
But my persona was always
more of that Arthur Ashe
But no love for the son
of a commuter
Who was a radio head and okay
at them computers
At the post office
It's funny how you smoke niggas,
then you start coffins
All my people need throat lozenge
My fear is dead
Ambition drove the hearse
But niggas got my feelin' I ain't black
enough to go to church
Culture shock at barber shops
'cause I ain't hood enough
We all look the same to the cops,
ain't that good enough?
The black experience is blackened
serious
'Cause being black, my experience,
is no one hearin' us
White kids get to wear
whatever hat they want
When it comes to black kids,
one size fits all
Oh, I want
The reason that they say I'm nothin'
what they seen or heard's
The same reason Will Smith
always opposite Latino girls
They only see you how they
wanna see you
'Til you make them see you in some
other way
I'm trippin' off the other day
'Cause God knows what
these white kids sayin'
Dude, you're not not racist cause
The Wire's in your Netflix queue
Subtle racism
It's hard to pin it 'cause
you'd only understand
If you were me for just a minute
This one kid said somethin'
that was really bad
He said I wasn't really black
because I had a dad
I think that's kinda sad
Mostly 'cause a lot of black kids
think they should agree with that
If you're a father,
you should stick around if you could
'Cause even if you're bad at
it, you get Tiger Woods
Or MJ
We warriors, we all need senseis
Change everything that we've done so far
I don't mean makin' B.E.T. T.E.R
I mean just the way that
we see each other
I won't stop until they say,
"James Franco is the white Donald Glover"
Yeah, these niggas wanted Cookie but
instead I gave 'em Loch Ness
Sick Boi for life,
my swag is in the hospice
Aimin' for the throne,
Jay and Ye said to watch that
They ask me what I'm doin',
and I said I'm stealin' rock back
Nigga
Oh, I
