My Complexion

It was once a boy who had big dreams to be on top of the scene
Began to lose a couple niggas off his team
He was always the median
Start to see the commas but he never put mean in it
You probably ain't catching that you just be hearing it
Living with his momma she would always believe in him
Sent the boy to schools they would never be teaching shit
Everything he learned was from personal experience
Like how to use these words to finesse the bands
Circle getting smaller realize he don't need no friends
Looked up to his father work as hard as Jesus hands
Would never go to church on Sunday now he preach to them
Having all these girl problems they would get to him

Making all these sad songs hoping they may turn to hits
Homies always like
Nigga when you gone forget the bitch?
Going through it all the time found out what commitment is
Sticking to it no matter what
Through the thick and thin
He would do almost anything just to get some cake
Momma ain't accept all the choices he would make
Cant expect him to learn if he don't make mistakes
Felt like he wasn't doing enough to make it

Dealing with problems within he would never say shit
If they asked what's wrong he'd avoid conversation
There for anybody who needed accommodation
Might as well not talk to him if there's no compensation
Looked up to Kanye, he tried to imitate him
Occupation wasn't doing it, he got impatient
So he started painting
With his words creating
As he put forth the effort shit just got to changing
Hoes started fainting
Trying to get acquainted
Rolling papers back to back help him stay creative
His girl always call accusing him lose concentration
Like he had to choose between the two he in the matrix
Now she feel the salt I think that she's Himalayan
Never went to malls the nigga was always chasing
The money stacked it all until he just felt like wasting

Which was never
You got a better chance catching ice in hell with some iceberg lettuce
But you know he popping flee if he arrived at settings
They be jumping in they seats when they peep my complexion
I mean his complexion
I almost slipped
Wonder if your ears listen did you catch me
He would always make you think to test your comprehension
Niggas knew that he was different he's a common legend
Never let it boost his head was never condescending
Thought about moving bricks like he playing live in Tetris

But he knew that wasn't for him so he went another route
He would be all in the forums just to bring some knowledge out
Trapped himself inside his room
He ain't do no popping out
Niggas always asked what's to him
He ain't care about no clout
Had to figure out a plan to get out his momma house
Making sure his sister good cause she is a momma now
If you couldn't guess it yes that means he is a uncle wow
Get to thinking back when they was youngins out here wilding out

Watching orange cassette tapes sitting back at grandparents house
Rugrats up in Paris yea them niggas had them cracking smiles
Can't forget them Disney Channel hits some favorites in the crowd
Doing anything to get a penny make his family proud
All he want to do is grow and at the end he give a bow
He gone always try to fight and no he'll never throw the towel
But know that this is the end of this little story just for now
You should also know that it ain't the last
'Cause he gone stick around
