See it started in the 4th grade, I moved to a new school
Just moved to Broward, had to deal with different rules
New neighborhood, I didn't know the kids there, Misunderstood, I thought that life wasn't fair
So I went to the school, Knew nobody, Then met a kid who made me feel like somebody
His name was Daniel, He came to be my best friend, Gave me the hookup on the scoops and the new trends
Black kid in the house, Needle in a haystack, Wanted to be a wrestler, Before I thought to lay tracks
Then I met a cute girl, I think her name was Kiera, I tried to make her notice me like I was a mirror
I didn't know then that I didn't have a chance, She probably didn't like n***as, So I wasn't the man
Still I thought I was a baller, So I tried to score, But I could never pull her, It was no tug-of-war
Way to crush my self-esteem, Now I thought I had no game, Saw her as a heartless b**h who benefited from my pain
Took a step back so my game had no gains, I shut down my feelings and I put my heart under chains
That school shut down, So onto the next chapter, Chapter 2: Here Comes Sam the Rapper
Left all I knew, What I would love and what I'd hate, Now I have to go to St. Gregory the Great
Goddam, I'd never seen so many white people, I hated them all, I always thought they were evil
But I saw a couple girls that caught my eye, Hadn't tried it in a while but it was worth a try
Got back in the game, No more sitting on the bleachers, Thought I could get a girl and then I'd never leave her
So I asked one out, She said “I don't know, maybe”, Deep down I knew it was a no
Couldn't let her play me
Am I really all that ugly
Maybe it's cuz I'm black
Maybe I smell bad
Maybe that's why no one touched me
Maybe it's cuz I'm short
Maybe it's my persona
Maybe I'm just worthless
Or I give off a bad aura
Oh know
I just don't know
Stuck at a stop sign and I wasn't let to go
I was a sap-a** to everyone
Laughed at by everyone
The pain ran deep
I'd just never let it show. (2x)
sh** just like p**y, I still don't get it, Stuck behind the curve, I was tryna get ahead it
How do n***as make it look so easy, The same hoes they pull are the same ones that used tease me
Oh well, guess I'll never reach the ceiling, As my way to cope, I lost all my feelings
Since then, music became my sixth sense, All I want is success, That's my whole existence
Oh know
I just don't know
Stuck at a stop sign and I wasn't let to go
I was a sap-a** to everyone
Laughed at by everyone
The pain ran deep
I'd just never let it show. (2x)
