My male role models, drug dealers and thugs My father learned how to solve problems with guns And when I grew up I learned what racism was And what teachin' it does, and like my teachers would say "Little black boys have a place in the world Like hangin' from trees" Or dead in the street, like I seen on TV All them boys they killed, they looked just like me Not like Brandon or Chandler, but Malik and Kareem I was born with a target, and it stuck to my skin And I learned in social studies, I was one of them men Who were locked in the chains, but not locked in the pen But I'm bigger than that, I'm the beginnin' and end I'm the sun and the moon I'm the light and the dark, I am life in the tomb I'm the pharaoh and slave, gentrifyin' my spirit It's like a knife in the womb, refuse to act like a parrot Or to dance like a monkey, see your stance is apparent That's why I'm here for the money, don't care to cater to Mary Y'all fetishizin' my spirit, I see your culture's dependent On what you didn't inherit, won't let my world be attempted I'm stayin' distant Who gonna be the reason why I get high?
