Verse 1: I grew up outside Chicago in a white town With a white fam and a white block mostly white Friends on the blacktop in the school yard, on the Playground I’s the fat one I got picked on Most my friends were nerds, cuz I was real smart Cool kids only talked to me when they needed help I took to makin people laugh, it’s a good start Never listened to music, I ain’t like how I felt Took a minute till I’m listening to hip hop Just Drake and shit, till I got around to K To Pimp a Butterfly was the best album I had ever heard I felt like I could understand the struggles of another world Cuz I ain’t felt what it’s like to be a black man But I feel for my brothers with the darker skin I started writin raps, not thinkin if I actually can Not thinkin bout what it meant when I started it Verse 2: I get conflicted when it comes to where I cross the line I guess that it depends exactly where you’re standin I stepped into a culture that I can’t understand And now I’m tryna make a profit with some dope lines I can’t emphasize enough that I don’t mean no harm I’m not tryna stack the fuckin deck of cards, but I rap with slang, cuz it’s the natural form I gotta pay my rent to keep my fuckin body warm I think a lot about whether I’m actually stealing Or if this is America’s culture, and I’m just participating I feel the guilt inside me, stackin to the ceiling Other times “I’m just a poet, and I’m not appropriating” If you got answers, feel fuckin free to let me know I can’t sleep, so I been starin out my window I go on night walks, even when it’s cold as shit Sometimes I wonder if it’s worth it, even going home
