[00:24.000]See him flossing in that metal
[00:26.000]The game’s in a higher level
[00:27.000]Dimensions; we into several
[00:29.000]You see we get them together
[00:30.000]DIY fringe be swangin’
[00:32.000]Bangers-bangers he slanging
[00:33.000]Show on point, he slaying
[00:35.000]He wasn’t always this way in fact
[00:37.000]Brown boy slanted eyes
[00:39.000]Bleach-stained sweat suit
[00:40.000]Throwin’ water on me
[00:41.000]In the middle school restroom
[00:43.000]Only brown head in my 9th grade play
[00:46.000]13 walking in the streets of UK
[00:51.000]Now maybe there’s a lesson I've been given
[00:52.000]Or some wisdom from the stories that I need to tell
[00:57.000]And everybody's hoping and scraping and wishing
[01:00.000]They could be something outside themselves
[01:03.000]If I can be me, then you can be yourself
[01:10.000]Might not be easy, it’s like we’re never satisfied
[01:14.000]Right?
[01:19.000]It’s like we' re never satisfied
[01:20.000]Right?
[01:27.000]Got it locked
[01:28.000]With that namesake

[01:38.000]Smiling through the vicious
[01:40.000]A puzzle piece never fittin’
[01:41.000]A new thread that he was given
[01:43.000]To weave a singular vision
[01:44.000]Could never be avaricious
[01:46.000]Instead a quiet ambitious
[01:47.000]No reason left to resist it
[01:49.000]A hater just sound fictitious
[01:50.000]So I’m not, quittin, they stay, squintin'
[01:52.000]Try to dictate a life they not, living
[01:54.000]T.O. been about that truth, spilling
[01:56.000]Don’t buck like a deer when shots hit him
[01:57.000]Don’t Formula One this path that you’re on

[03:01.000]Like Pakistan, I seceded

See him flossing in that metal
The game’s in a higher level
Dimensions; we into several
You see we get them together
DIY fringe be swangin’
Bangers-bangers he slanging
Show on point, he slaying
He wasn’t always this way in fact
Brown boy slanted eyes
Bleach-stained sweat suit
Throwin’ water on me
In the middle school restroom
Only brown head in my 9th grade play
13 walking in the streets of UK
Now maybe there’s a lesson I've been given
Or some wisdom from the stories that I need to tell
And everybody's hoping and scraping and wishing
They could be something outside themselves
If I can be me, then you can be yourself
Might not be easy, it’s like we’re never satisfied
Right?
It’s like we' re never satisfied
Right?
