Another Statistic

A black kid in a public school I stick out like a sore thumb
He’s on a scholarship he must have a poor mum
We’re not measured by the things we say, things we write
We’re measured by how much money we got the things we like

It’s not all about age, it’s about maturity
I’d be 30 if we’re looking at my purity
I’d be 30 when I’m going to the corner store
She dropped the towel right in front of me like I’m the sauna floor

You’re not supreme if you’re wearing Palace
Your Lakers Jersey doesn’t make you magic
I’m from a type of place where Everyman thinks they’re savage
I pen a couple bars now they’re all looking embarrassed

I don’t know what’s bigger my heart or my forehead
I’m seeing people sour like a warhead
The people at the top are just like dummies
Groupies sucking up to them I find it kinda funny

You get ticks if you just do it
You’re talking a lot just prove it
Your bars they should match up your actions
That’s why you never see me claiming that I’m active

But I’m reactive over
A beat like vinegar and baking soda
This written like 4:44 like Hova
My musics got a range like I’m a Rover

But I’m more of a Porsche and you’re a Civic
All I do is spray bars and mind my business
I’m not dun talking until the funds are finished
I got green and I’m not talking bout spinach

If my upbringing means I’m not tough then so be it
I’m tryna be a good influence they don’t see it
I’m just a black boy and I’m tryna be realistic
