| I don’t know what I’ma do
 | 
| I don’t know where I’ma live
 | 
| 'Cause it feel like I ain’t got nothing to give
 | 
| Just wanna follow my dreams
 | 
| Just wanna follow my heart
 | 
| But the world wanna tear me apart right from start
 | 
| Everything I ever wanted, it ain’t what I thought
 | 
| Bring it back to the roots like my name Black Thought
 | 
| This shit right here, no it can’t be taught
 | 
| Gotta be learned, it gotta be earned
 |

| I just wanna live, I just wanna maintain
 | 
| Like a bullet to the brain
 | 
| Gotta play the game like a chess board
 | 
| If yah wanna go to war, gotta bring yah best sword
 | 
| I feel like I’m going crazy, like I need a psych ward
 | 
| Think my mind playing tricks on me like a Geto Boy
 | 
| Feel like I need to murder 'em in the moment I deploy
 | 
| Everybody, anybody, somebody fill the void, somebody fill the void
 |

| Every time I get a check, what I really get? | 
| Robbed
 | 
| Livin in America, this shit is a facade
 | 
| But you gotta push through and persevere, word to God
 | 
| Tryna find a home, but I can’t afford a home
 | 
| 'Cause I’m 25 and owe a hunnid grand in student loans
 | 
| Tryna get healthcare, but I’m on welfare
 | 
| Man I swear to god, I wish I was living in Bel Air
 | 
| Fuck Medicaid, I just wanna get paid
 | 
| Wit' a couple bad bitches at the crib, gettin' laid
 | 
| That’s what I’m taught by the media
 | 
| Television tellin' my vision to get greedier
 | 
| Come now everybody stay tune like T-Pain
 | 
| Operate the drive in yah mind like a keychain
 | 
| Come now folk, get woke, stay woke
 | 
| 'Cause the white man want the black man stay broke
 | 
| Fuck that, I’m finna buck back
 | 
| But not wit bullets, I’ma use my education to the fullest
 | 
| I’ma get out of debt, I’ma reset
 | 
| I’ma get out of debt, I’ma reset
 | 
| Do whatever you gotta do whenever to live
 | 
| But you gotta remember to give back when you get that When you finally get to
 | 
| the top and you hit that pinnacle
