My I.Q.

When i was four years old
They tried to test my i.q
They showed me a picture
Of 3 oranges and a pear
They said
Which one is different?
It does not belong
They taught me different is wrong
But when i was 13 years old
I woke up one morning
Thighs covered in blood
Like a war
Like a warning
That i live in a breakable takeable body
An ever increasingly valuable body
That a woman had come in the night to replace me
Deface me
See
My body is borrowed
Yeah, i got it on loan
For the time in between my mom and some maggots
I don't need anyone to hold me
I can hold my own
I got highways for stretchmarks
See where i've grown
I sing sometimes
Like my life is at stake
'cause you're only as loud
As the noises you make
I'm learning to laugh as hard
As i can listen
'cause silence
Is violence
In women and poor people
If more people were screaming then i could relax
But a good brain ain't diddley
If you don't have the facts
We live in a breakable takeable world
An ever available possible world
And we can make music
Like we can make do
Genius is in a back beat
Backseat to nothing if you're dancing
Especially something stupid
Like i.q
For every lie i unlearn
I learn something new
I sing sometimes for the war that i fight
'cause every tool is a weapon -
If you hold it right
