TOLERATED

They ask me
"Why yo demeanor so aggressive? Ain't you educated?"
With 2 masters I don't see the correlation
See
At my core I'm patient
But I'm fed up with your negative criticism
'Cause you're complacent
Everyone tryna tell me how to navigate really they hopin' I fail
Then everyone out here exaggerate
Man they be doin' the most for these tales
I'm livin' my life
But it's sad to say niggas are hurt cause they know I'll prevail
This for my family sake
If you're wonderin' nigga just know that I'm well
I'm indifferent to socializing
They be wildin, I ain't wit 'em
The pain in my soul is heightened
Walk a mile wit my wisdom
My struggle, I vocalized it
But don't describe me as a victim
Motha fuckas are so divided like a child in the system
Y'all got me messed up
Is this really how it goes?
If I am a burden then don't deal wit me no mo'
I spent my whole life with people who didn't wanna see me grow
There's no room for yo ass, you gotta go
That's on my mama nigga

Don't tell me how you feelin'
Tell me can you keep it all inside?
Is there a word for how you're feelin?
Man it hurts so bad I think I'd rather

I was in fourth grade
But it started before elementary
Feelin's of pure rage
Didn't know how to cope with the misery
My heart is a torn cage
I was scared to reveal my identity
Look what it did to me
All of these feelings of hurt
That I hid from the world for a century just to be
Tolerated

Man, I
Yeah
Don't only wanna be tolerated
Nah
Don't only wanna be tolerated

This game need to be dominated
Time is money and time is faded
Had to find a way through the operations
(Did you sell your soul for that?)
Not at all, I need the most respect
The man would I be dishin' out
To this day I haven't folded yet
My focus starts to heighten when I know which doors to open next
Came a long way from hittin' them licks for that loaf of bread
Laid in bed
Thinkin' to myself like "do I know enough?"
There's not one word for how I'm feelin'
My feelin's way too broken up
Closin' up shop yeah for now
But niggas know what's up
Rollin' up
Mind stimulated
Yo let's get innovative
I really walked through that war zone that they simulatin'
Came out educated
But that was barely celebrated
It's cool with me 'cause my vision is too precise
I been nice
My signals send energy invites
Your light can shine next to mine
But my shades dim lights
You're here to show off
But I only came here for the insight
