off the dome
but this chick is not mindless
full common sense
but this chick is not mindless
full common sense
like the city Rhymefest
oh wait I am
si se puede
oh wait I am
si se puede
yes I can
even the prez is from my city man
I'm glad they gave a black man a chance
that's differenet from giving one a rap deal
so he can spit ignorance and dance
I'm creating change not waiting on my chance
In the middle of college
so you can call me educated
but I got miseducated by Lauryn Hill
I'm intrigued by lyrical skill
and by the way true lyrics make me feel
I became different in high school
I don't know when the ultimate transition began
went form average to music knowledge
amazing independent knowledge until the days in
A sponge is my moleskine
in the pages that pain soaks in
with liquid ink I try to make you think
but most of time, it is not acknowledged at all
blaming myself because shyness and self-esteem has made me take the greatest fall
if I want to I can make my ribs show
make my ribs show
make my
make my ribs show
I'm filled with knowledge from life and college
filled with questions
everyday I try to solve them
but all of this is in the intangible
and my greatest conflicts are still understandable
and nothing I've gone through has been unmanageable
that's because I damage the bull
don't feed off nonsense because I might be happier
but I rather not be full
the internet gave him a fan base
and the radio made him successful
I'm not turning my back on black culture
I'm try to advocate for black culture
I just want to be
liked
loved
and most of all
appreciated
identity is covered
in smiles and foundation
always concerned with perception
never achieving the needed

I'm not different
I'm just misunderstood
I'm not a rebel
I'm just chose to not act like where I come from
some tubs have feet
so do my dreams
incapable of still
they don't stay in my head
you can call me token
as long as my voice is heard and spoken
sometimes the solutions your turned from
may be answers
I put it all out there
so if something that is interested will have something to grab onto
I'm not talking about speaking of the physical
and definitely not the literal
but the so disconnected that is seems intergalactic
technical cause social situations create static
so rather navigate thorough the online traffic
do you show emotion from reactions
express detachment from questions
reasons that give satisfaction
I'll always remember him
not because he took something from me
but because he cried over me
which means he really cared for me
as easy as it is to get candy in church
you can get a gun in the hood
and get drugs in jail
looked to the church for the music
but some left as hippies following their own spirit
because its the only places where the music pierces your heart
because it flows through your veins
tell their pain
don't care if they call you insane
cause Patti smith is no longer here
and the truth is what current musicians fear
Saturn is going out of business
but the planets aligned
because China bought Hummer
that proves that it doesn't matter what you offer
it matters what the masses is currently doing
tampons and cigarettes
tampons and cigarettes
I have nothing to hide
when I write
I am cleaning out my pocket
I have nothing to hide
when I write
I am cleaning out my pocket
tampons and cigarettes
tampons and cigarettes
some of it is natural
and some of it me hurting my self
but through it all
i gain a better understanding myself
I learn about the cleaning others must do
then following their path
is a decision I must choose
I don't cry
and I would never do physical abuse
but have held back
there is no burden given for being a recluse
but at the end of the day
i have nothing to hide
i have nothing to hide
but it is healthy to sometimes clean out my pocket
yea i remember to take time to clean out my pocket
LSAT, GRE, SAT
some say if your pale
you are prone to do well
but if you have melanin
you have to accept that you will be failing them
but i say they are just doubting themselves
self hate on their race
as they are downing themselves
perpetuate and encourage the educational divide
politicians say its tax payers
and it's just a coincidence
that the darker complected
are the ones most undereducated
schools are segregated
positive dreams need to be aggregated
they say you can't nod your head to lyrics
I say beats don't touch your soul
I'm not different
I'm just misunderstood
I'm not a rebel
I'm just chose to not act like where I come from
