Since I was a child held against my will
Still I crawled up from that basement oh so chill
Keep my cool like 51/50 ready for a thrill
Then they closely monitor to see how I feel
Feel disgusted ugly and self-destructed
Abducted body but heart refuse to ever be corrupted
Inducted hope, but past grabs my thoughts when least expected
Creeps up out of nowhere and wrings neck til dissociatively disconnected
Pretended to associate normally
But folks staring at my face so awkwardly
On my own, cus I knew this world was against me
Want escape, but my morose mind malign hostagely
When self-defense is the same as murder, you'll learn what hunger be
We all have a beast inside that stalks so savagely
Do pardon thee, in cold cruel world where hearts harden
So follow me if your mother can never again look at a milk carton
So they all tryna figure me out, theres no figuring to crazy
Nah ain't crazy, it just in a world full o lies they see it insane to live honestly
Lil B so based mentality, freely thinking
no major label, cus no box can hold all of what my mind be
Just accept me as I is, just as I accept you as you are
If you let your dreams be contorted by whats near, your dreams will never go far
Hold on to our differences, don't let anyone tell you who you are
So uniquely equal, see we all come from stars
Its my right to rebel, feel the power of a black man
I was born to be extroardinary so I aint down with the program
Race war's been goin on since 1492, no such thing as happy median
Shoes on otha foot unlce sam, we the cowboys breathin down the necks o' you Indians
So no care for race, only race worth winnin is humanity
This is a demand for equality, against a state o' totality
re-marketed as democracy, Never back down for solidarity
So if you've always been on your own, now's the time to come together
We're all born in the belly o the beast, so as One we must make it sever
I know this journey's tough, but we can work it thru if we stick together
Endeavour change is rough, One must fight thru the pressure
To battle thru this life, we must be both angel and soldier
Theres reason for your lonely falls, let it build your character
Flip your weaknesses to strengths like a true lightbearer
Cherish what you've learned in the abyss, that's your sole secret
If they couldn't crush me on my own, then how can we be defeated
In what way can you harm me, that hasn't been dealt or self-inflicted
Damn right I got the sickness, God is my cure and my witness
I Can't fight your war until mine finished
Never alone, cus God is in us
This world would love to break you down, but child you are gifted
Keep thy purity in your heart, and always stay lifted
They gon' hate it, we gon' make 'em feel it
Can't stop my shine, yeah we got high spirit
