Repsup

Uh, yeah

In DC but I'll still hold it down
For my town that I knew everyone around
Knew that I was bound to lift myself from the ground
New life searching and that's what I have found

I went around the world, purely looking for joy
Something I had lost when I was just a boy
Society employed rules that got me annoyed
Now I'm a fish out of water, looking at you like koi

I treat beats like a toy, I just play with the shit
I make it so sick that your hip's gonna dip
I always flip the script faster than it was meant
Equipped with a mic, that's black authorship

I'll tell you I won't quit, but when I'm done, I'm done
Never been one to run, but I've got to have fun
I've got to live my life so far away from strife
So verses in a book is I guess what I will write

I grew up among white, I loved my town
I lived like I was white though my body was brown
Got treated like a clown when my mask didn't fit
So when my human rights quit, I acquit my lips

I let the pressure mix and my body to brew
Something so true, cold, and blue that I found something new
A diamond under pressure is just what I had grew
And so many of them knew, but wouldn't believe it was true

Uh, uh, uh, yeah

That me a black guy, kicked out of school twice
Could separate himself from all of the little mice
Sometimes when I look I see you try to bring me down
To the ground cause it looks like you're the one that's really bound

But why don't you just root for me like I for you
You know it's true, walk in my shoes, you'll get the blues, you know it's true

So why don't you just root for me so I can grow up like a tree
Spread out my leaves positively, stop poverty, more equality
I just don't understand, I thought this was Blacksburg
The greatest fucking herd that the nation's ever heard

A town full of nerds, but the coolest at that
Deercroft living had pockets mad fat
Woodbine deep had the pants to pleat
You go up to TOTS, see your pockets deplete (let me get a rail)

I wish that you could see what's gotten into me
I grew tall as a tree, so much I miss my environment
I hope it's not arrogant that I reached my enlightenment
Up here you can see, but it gets really lonely

Just take me home please
My stomping grounds I want to sieze
Could give a fuck about Belize
I just want to feel the breeze

I just wanted to believe that you have every hope in me
Peace, (I love all of you), peace (peace, peace)
