It’s Time For Us Black Folks, To Take Our Collective Asses Back To School
Metaphorically, I Speak, No More Playing The Ignorant Fool
Rise Above The Mire, Despite The Treachery And The Hate
Plz Understand Everything We Touch, Eventually Turns Out Great
Our Music, Our Fashion…, Our Resourcefulness, Our Swag
We Can Flip The Script On Anything, And Turn Into A Bag
But That’s Not The Reason Why, We Are Destined To Be Great
It’s Because Of Our Compassion, We Put Love Over Hate
Brag Upon Your Greatness, But Greatness Has No Need To Boast About
Its You Who Covets The Glamor, We Can Survive And Strive Without
Your Method Of Operation, By Any Means To Get A Win
Your Perceived Greatness Comes From Terror, Our Greatness Comes From Within
You Can Hate Us, Abuse Us, Wish We Were Never Around
But The Fact Of The Matter Is, Greatness Gets Up When Its Knocked Down
Walk A Mile In My Hand-Me-Down Shoes, Before You Judge Me Not
Was Once Three Fifth A Man, But The Rest Of Me Is Cosmonaut
Meaning I Reside In The Cosmos, I Occupy Space And Time
I Can Never Be Stripped Of My Greatness, Cause Greatness Is A State Of Mind
Greatness Challenges Mediocrity, And Overcomes Complacency
What You Fail To Recognize, I Been This Way Since Nascency
So Keep Smiling In My Face, But I See Thru Trifle Fakeness
Cause No Matter What You Say Or Do, I’m Still Destined For My Greatness
