Im...
criterianaire
I'm a young black
Criterianaire
Tougher than your mom's pussy hair
My criteria compared
To you niggas
Don't even compare
To my IQ
But I'm protect my peace
So ima keep it Vakü

Cuz
Back in the old days
Stuck in my old ways
Reminiscing
About
Like Want to be an old age
Mind on pussy
I was Stuck in the stone age
Then I thought about shit
And I knew I was gone change

Shit went down
And I know I needed a new flame
But I wanna ball on niggas
Like the flu game
Game in the chokehold
Niggas need Rogaine
Cuz I knew that I was different too
Like 2 chainz

Ooh ooh
Oooh ooh ooh ooh

I'm so special
And I'll be better off
If I just listen to God and then just let go
Cuz I've been tryna fit into this image
Me and myself got into a fight
Until I asked myself a question
Hoping it would maybe make shit right because

Man These niggas really stink
Man These niggas really rancid
They didnt wanna listen to me because they found out that I was from Kansas
Man at first I was appalled
Hated them for tryna exclude me
But then I realized that the world was bigger than Kansas City
Ima just do me

Cuz niggas follow
Those Who lead by example
And if the opp is ample
They'd act like they supported from the get go
Man They geckos

Be at yo shows
You headline
But was talking shit at open mics
Fuck up the vibe
But on yo live
They wanna ask questions
That go a little something like

After going through the trials
That God
Put me through to make me stronger

I've realized that infinity
Is a lot longer

Than anything that I can fathom
Because we're only here for a brief moment
In the grand scheme of things

The fruits of my labor
Apples, oranges, tangerines
Will turn any doubts
I have of my abilities
Into smithereens

Fragments of failure
That drift into the wind
And whistle
Like me walking away from all the bullshit
That I don't have to deal with

Dealing with the cards I was dealt
Independently like I don't know what a deal is

Bidding with a knee on my throat
So I know exactly what a kneel is

And that screech you heard of me struggling
Is exactly what a still is

Art that was framed
That lives rent free
In your head
Cuz you can't define what it is

And anomaly
Synonymous
With dichotomy
In between some shit you understand
And some shit I gotta break down
And spoon feed it to you
Like an audio crack baby

That's why you simpleton
And know it alls
Dont phase me
Because ironically
Y'all niggas is exactly the same

Because at the end of the day
When we all go to sleep
You know exactly what a rapper looks like when you look at me
