Degrees Lyrics by Supa selm

2018

They told me life would be heavenly
Once i got into those schools that they sellin me
Tellin me
Their boys in blue ain't the enemy
Felonies only for the dudes with penitentiary
Chances the devil dances
Or so they say
Anyway i bet her name is mary francis
She was walking to CVS--purse clutched
Now she regretting that she ain't go to church much
Cause she figures walking while white is a wager
Daydreams of being bodied by a black math major
Hm… maybe she calls it triggernometry
She knows he’s violent cus she see his physiology
And that ain't nothin but the truth
The blacker the berry the more vicious the brute
911 this man's acting erratically
Yes a young black male
I can’t say that emphatically
Enough we’ll come handle the kid callously
Calling this a medical response would be a fallacy
So mary francis call amanda
That's her sister from back in the day—she a gamma
Stammer on the phone she get her story straight
I don’t know but something about him made me feel unsafe
Wait
*gunshots*
The line coulda ended there like a caboose
But not all cops get lucky enough to shoot
Sometimes the Glock loses out to some fists
But a cop draws blood in the hood or the ritz
Beat your brother, kill your trans best friend, steal your kids
Lock up your dad a crime that he ain't even commit
You call it theft but that’s what private property is
And if you make it alive the final irony is:
Even if you graduate from three ivy leagues
In the end you’re still a nigga, with a bunch of degrees
Bleach the blood, put my brother on tv
Fuck the CPD
