NATURE, NURTURE.

Error
Warning, you have entered the artist chamber
And have now left the bounds of the exhibition
Someone's gotten greedy
As this is a private chamber
It is off limits to visitors
Please go

Go ahead and take a seat, Ser
Just no shoes on the couch please
So I'd like you to start by telling me a little bit about your childhood, okay Ser?
Now we're gonna try your ABCs
Okay?
A, B

Now how the fuck you spell money?
You put a M first
I be thumbing through that shit until my skin hurt
I be running with the rats, until I splinter
Bitch we coming through the cracks, middle of winter
Like the grinch, strike again? well it might depend
What did the Lord have written for me with his writer pen?
Was it my fortune or was will really free?
Just like the movie? We might never see the ending scene
Cause that's a whale of a question, really a beast
Well I got one you need to answer, did you really believe
That I would not fulfill the mission I was born for?
Matter fact, scorned for
Average is getting me beat
So now I'm missing on sleep cause of the shit from the past
Daddy ain't make it out the hood for me to sit on my ass
So then I sit with myself
But I can't sit with myself
Cause every time I get to first
I just remember last
Time excellence slipped right through my fist
I remember I had got a sixty-nine on a quiz
Shit, I said it's funny
It was middle school or something
Momma beat my ass, remember I was screaming and running
Yes I remember that, in fact I dream about it often
A tender adolescent, hadn't even seen a coffin
But if his people seen a single stain
They gon bring him pain
'Cause that's the only thing that they believe
Could clean it off him
That's the price to pay
For making my sins go away
Remember Dad would say that I was childish in a way
Shit I've been nine for seven days
Of course I'm childish in the way
That I ain't thinking bout the reason the economy tanked
And so they put me through the pressure
That's how diamonds are made
That shit done put me through depression
How much time in a day?
Shit I been counting away
My fourth grade counselor say
You'll never see the diamond shine if you just mining away
Cause when the light don't, fuck

He's come to us and told us that's how he feels
And how does that make you feel?
But you've done a great job with him
And how did that change you
He's very quiet, respectful... great with numbers
And how many times? Can you remember?
Such a bright future ahead of him
And do you wish you could get those moments back?

Cause when the light don't reach
You see the things the eye can't teach
You lead a horse to water but he might won't drink
And if you drown em in the fountain
What the fuck does that accomplish?
You don't need no fucking doctor for the diagnosing
I mean really what am I proposing?
Nothing much? So what's the fuss?
You making Pfeiffer scenes
You see we living in a world where niggas die for kings
It seems that I was born a nigga that could light the beam
If I could dream upon a star
My story wouldn't be far
But if I had to pick a galaxy it wouldn't be ours
The world revolves around the sun
But ours revolves around a sum
And every time I fucked it up I felt I wasn't a son
Now I ain't bitching I'm just saying will the love really come?
Where does love really rest?
When the trophies come out
When I pose for the crowd
When they scoring the test,
And we have to face reality, I wasn't the best
But see this never could be true
And if it was your evening blue
My theory, from me to you
I say it's just a family thing
We stand as a team
Shit we could handle any animal humanity bring
Now I was never 'bout the gambling thing
But I would bet my bottom dollar on this next fact
I take that generational trauma
Bring it to the bank
I bet I get a motherfucking check back
