[Verse]
I'm here to clarify
Arab-American, pita pie
Paid the pied piper, no one like him
Watch dog, put me in a cypher
I journalize all trades, and I am just a writer
Student, concepts out of this world; George Lucas
Carpe Diem, I was never prudent
And my dreams ever elusive
Keep your two cents
I'll move along, chucking deuces
Flash back to memories, Gulf Road cruising
To the system we were abusive
A nuisance, creators of a new nuance
We broke rules, and rolled them into new songs
I'm reminded of the friends that helped put me on
I'm reminded of the reasons why most of y'all gone
From time to time I'm taken back, always ends the same
Came and gone with the seasons
So I dig deep, and I push
Buried deep in sheets of characters
I won, you came out of character
Take your own fam to court, you are a character
When your momma didn't want you, who took care of ya?
We shared a roof, that's what's scary bruh
You said he took the loot
You said that you had the proof
The story came loose
I've grown accustomed to losing luggage at customs
Used to have to get me through kicking a fussing
Now I k** them with kindness, they hate the abuse
They say, "Kindly remind us where you're headed to"
The stars, Mars
Maybe the TSA wants to put another Arab behind bars
They disregard, statements basic
Yes, I hate small spaces
Face it, I'm too high for their regards
Spark, imagination
Feet beat through these laces
Walk a mile in my shoes, must be patient
Different country, different status
Regardless of one another, never wanted to be famous
Didn't wanna be nameless
To those fair weather friends, let them know I'm bringing changes
Though I'll never buy a range
I have no limits, my art is pane-less
It isn't mine, this is ancient
I did the work I've been patient
Time to engineer my future through my words, dreams evasive
I built it all on the basics
This is my Sistine chapel, Mona Lisa, where my faith is
I see the light and I chase it
At the end of the tunnel, so bright I can't mistake it
I want this more than anything else
Plug it shameless, you think I'm full of myself
