i walk in the school
Cudi in head
get yelled at by dudes
and lose all my cred
my ego is bruised
my girl i can't text
no service in here
i'm fifteen again

freaky and faggot
shit that is said
there's twenty of them
it burns in my chest

no purple flowers
who has the power
who's getting devoured
it's all of us here

it's al ways
the black males
the peo ple i
do this shit
fa forrrrrr

i am
them
except i'm not
no one seems to trust
my work

every p-pop ular re- regressing rapper
defaults to the same
i'll fuck yr girl standards
and everything's cool

it's cool to say you're a bastard
who preys upon trust
and arbitrary status

it's like the men
can say whatever they want
and the critics will duck
where have i seen that before?

it's like the men are protected by "art"
and the women are not
where have i seen that before?


.

but who amongst us
will articulate this problem
this detachment in our souls
you say get em
i say got em

we'onn listen to no white folks
and older people don't get it
and the niggas in the verses
don't have to give a shit

cuz das racist and drake
and 40 year old jay
don't have to say

it cuz danny brown
and wayne and ye
will still happily spray it

cash and privilege are screaming
yr feminist ideals just sound like

it feels like
so many p-pop ular p-progressive rappers
defers to the game's
"i took yr girl" standards
and everyone's cool

it's cool to put girls with objects
it's dehumanization
that's a big word for wack shit

it's like the men
can say whatever they want
and the critics gon front
where have i seen that before?

it's like the men are protected by "art"
and the women are not
where have i seen that before?

it's like the men
can say whatever they want
and the critics will duck
where have i seen that before?

it's like the men are protected by "art"
and the women are not
where have i seen that before?

so when i say big ups
i don't mean that shit ironically
we are all equally good
it's perspective
and opportunity

so when lil b
and tyler say the things that they do
as a twenty year nigga it hurts my heart
to see you swoon

it's expression
but if asher roth
was like
"nigga nigga"

his career would be missing
why is that nigga?
cuz we're a marginalized population
systematically broken
and he benefits from privilege

write me an essay on the difference

cuz dog i don't get it
naw i ain't wit it
i ain't gon see no children
breaking like my friends did
backbending for this bullshit
FUCK your contradictions
and heteronormative garbage

that's a big word for wack shit


william lloyd garrison flow
bayard rustin flow

i'm not saying that in a patronizing way.
