[00:24.000]See him flossing in that metal
[00:26.000]The game’s in a higher level
[00:27.000]Dimensions; we into several
[00:29.000]You see we get them together
[00:30.000]DIY fringe be swangin’
[00:32.000]Bangers-bangers he slanging
[00:33.000]Show on point, he slaying
[00:35.000]He wasn’t always this way in fact
[00:37.000]Brown boy slanted eyes
[00:39.000]Bleach-stained sweat suit
[00:40.000]Throwin’ water on me
[00:41.000]In the middle school restroom
[00:43.000]Only brown head in my 9th grade play
[00:46.000]13 walking in the streets of UK
[00:51.000]Now maybe there’s a lesson I've been given
[00:52.000]Or some wisdom from the stories that I need to tell
[00:57.000]And everybody's hoping and scraping and wishing

[01:38.000]Smiling through the vicious
[01:40.000]A puzzle piece never fittin’
[01:41.000]A new thread that he was given
[01:43.000]To weave a singular vision
[01:44.000]Could never be avaricious
[01:46.000]Instead a quiet ambitious
[01:47.000]No reason left to resist it
[01:49.000]A hater just sound fictitious
[01:50.000]So I’m not, quittin, they stay, squintin'
[01:52.000]Try to dictate a life they not, living
[01:54.000]T.O. been about that truth, spilling
[01:56.000]Don’t buck like a deer when shots hit him
[01:57.000]Don’t Formula One this path that you’re on
[01:59.000]We all gotta make our own living
[02:00.000]Cry out loud, don’t stay, hidden
[02:01.000]Fear to fail, say good riddance

[02:54.000]In February, he freed me
[02:55.000]Cleared my head of debris
[02:57.000]We shattered my boundaries
[02:59.000]And the lowered degree was healing
[03:00.000]Winter was sorely needed
[03:01.000]Like Pakistan, I seceded
[03:03.000]My leaving won't be repeated
[03:05.000]Never read for them tight roles
[03:06.000]My eyes looked where the sky goes
[03:08.000]So rare like albinos
[03:09.000]Poachers, we zoom right by those
[03:11.000]Few in number like rhinos
[03:13.000]Reaching up for them high notes
[03:14.000]Study me like yo bibles
[03:15.000]Cats fall in line like I’m Lion-o
