The winner of the New York City Science Genius Battle is...Jalib from Urban Assembly [applause]
We're definitely Beatniks
Stress, I gotta lotta that no time for commas though
I'mma go harder then a fourth of a dollar
I'mma scholar, flow tighter than a turtle neck collar
Why bother with the hatters darth vader I'm your father cuz
Yeah they gone talk but I don't give a damn
It just don't stick to me like somebody spraying pam
I'm just tryna have fun I don't wanna be ya man
I'mma teen with a dream tryna get it while I can
Put the ball in my hands and watch what I do with it
I'll jam you stand I'm Jordan and you Pippen
Unexpected like a movie where the winner is the villan
They just hatten me for living so I guess I'm Meg Griffin
But I ain't tripping, I'm pure to the core so
When they talk nonsense I don't even listen
Your mind is a prison
Trapped by the metal bar thoughts society's been drilling in your brain
Your taught that if your skinny then your pretty
And all black kids involuntarily act ratchet
But drastic times means positive attitudes
And luckily for me I was born with that attribute
So two scoops for me if you please
Of that good life with whipped cream and sprinkles see
It's like... you live then you die so
Why waste time I'mma try to leave my legacy behind oh!
And the hatters I don't pay'em no mind
They are not complex just fans in disguise so
Instead of bashing, I'mma see it as a profit
And encourage my supporters, to come outside of the closet
It is what it is, everyone tryna be different
But if everybody's different then nobody really is so
I'll do what I do best and wait till they see the difference
That I am and I'm still in the making
But inspiration I lack I do this everyday
In every way nobody can inspire you to res pirate
We need more of that, cuz nowadays wack raps
As common as a car with an empty tank, let me thank
My thoughts flow on a blank piece of paper
And I'mma hold it down I'm the man no anchor
I bottle up my anger just to pour out on track
And a couple minutes later it's a banger
I'm no stranger to the world and it's ways
I will never play the victim, I'mma try to keep it simple
Get paid for the way I do thangs
And live each day like the next day I'mma be laying in my grave
So that if I die young I can say I lived more
Than the critics who spend life exaggerating flaws on
Guys like me- Should've made that a singular word
Cuz there ain't neva been a guy like me
And between you and me, huh, I ain't really worried
I'm just waiting on the moment then I'm taking all the glory
And the rappers that are wishing that they were my competition just
Aren't really factors in the matters of my stature
An actor on stage but never on the mic
This life is a choice and I've already made mine,
P.m. say your prayers, amen
It ain't a matter of how, only a matter of when
