Bullies

In touch with my friends but still lonely as fuck
Since an adolescent I can hear this lesson I taught
No sticks and stones will break my bones
But words will always hurt me
Got bullied as a teen 'cause my teeth don't sheen
Said my smile had a mile gaps spaces between
Sag in my pants chillin' with my niggas at school
Momma said to pull 'em up you better listen to me

Anyway, went to Phifer middle school and got A's
Now I'm on to private school a scholarship for the grades
Playing basketball of course the course wasn't delayed
Seen my future it was charming like I played with D'wade
Still rap was in my pocket like your luckiest coin
Made some songs here and there with the ugliest noise
High school was still like a brand-new country to me
But when you moving how I move it don't mean nothing to me

I did better than you, and now you hate me, hate me for it
You ain't in my shoes, you can't see why my pride is guarded
Sorry I was smart and used my knowledge to advantage
When I look out for you, you just look out for bully antics

Bullied by the black now I move on to the white
They ain't talk shit 'bout my teeth or 'bout the shoes that I rock
More about where I lived where I lived they saw
Told me this your little crib where the rest of it dawg
Why you pressing me dawg, I ain't a type of machine
I raised the white flag bullies cut me open I bleed
I looked right back when they told me I wouldn't succeed
Now I'm like that I'm rapping till I can't even breathe
'Cause I did better than you, and now you hate me, hate me for it

Life ain't 'bout the views don't need no fame to feel importance
That's a lesson I was taught by someone closer to me
He said the ego is the cost of all the hatred you see
I pray to god that I never have the symptoms of greed
Get a bag and I share with my niggas with me
I stayed so dejected every time they rejected
My past recollections that I never accepted
I never thought of somebody that someone would be
Until I looked in the mirror and seen that someone was me

When I look in the mirror I don't see none of y'all
Through the highs and the lows everyday I'm gone ball
I'm in tune with my spirit cause my spirit filled with God
So we always on the go on the go we never stall out

As a youngbul I remember running into bullies
As I got older I just realized they couldn't overlook me
Insecurities reflecting all ya self-esteem
Don't be mad at me because you ain't apart the winning team
You gotta fight through hard times because it builds character
'Cause if you don't ya life is only gonna get scarier
Men lie, women lie, people come and go
But this is my life so you can't tell me where the fuck to go
I know, you super sick you can't do what I do lil' bitch I know
Stand ten toes in my shoes so who are you lil' bitch I know
You worried about the next man that's why you will never grow
Stop following the crowd you keep going with the flow

I did better than you, and now you hate me hate me for it
You ain't in my shoes you can't see why my pride is guarded
Sorry I was smart and used my knowledge to advantage
When I look out for you, you just look out for bully antics
