Until I’m cold imma be the same/ f**k if they all think thaat I’ve changed/ yeah I’m young and misunderstood/ young black and misunderstood/ oh oh I’m tryna be man/ I’m trying the best I can/ through the fights they call me names/ saying that I will never be there/

Everytime I hear track like this I think about my nation and I gotta go in/ I’m talkin bout the black nation, negragation, no words to describe what I sing/ yeah I sing about life, rap about dreams, do I really look like ur everyday kid/ I kidd u not, they thot I was bad, they said I had no talent, heard’em say I was whack/ yeah heard’em say I was black and then they thot about white when I said I play keys/ f**k a hater gotta say that u normally listen to, in the end that’s really for u to keep?/ yurgh it’s only gossip, they want u to talk and be the messenger of dumb shit/ this here dumb shit, we at war with a format and I refuse to be the victim/

Collateral damage I been since My 16’s/ brain gang money f***in kills my A-team/ and the public get to witness what we makin / look at here I’m a restless A-Lin [alien]/ 25 degreed and jobless/ working for free in this life this madness/ I know I been black since the day I was born/ prolly why I make music and I call it brainstorm/ that raw shit... Illegal music/ never seen on billboard, nigga I’m a banned kid/ yeah.. I’m feeling hurt Kobain/ this here my suicide note, anthrax and cocaine/ we been poisonned by realness/ yeah now real music is a sickness/ yeah they talkin supa dupa flows, but all I see is fans turnin supa dupa hoes/ Now here I go
