Kai Davis - f** I Look Like lyrics

[Verse 1: Kai Davis] f** I look like? No really, f** I look like? I look like you got me f**ed up is what I look like. You looking at me like I'm not supposed to be standing here next to you. Like, we in the same cla** but your idea of advance is too advanced And my mind can't match you. I think it's my vernacular, How I got half the consonants and twice the apostrophes So my philosophy can't be valid. Like I speak slave and you speak slave master This isn't a plantation, it's a cla**room. White people think they run sh** because they got money to buy a thesaurus You say, "gargantuan", I say, "big as sh**" Still, big as sh**, it don't really matter I guess AP stands for "a**hole pretentiousness" And if you don't know what that means, look it up, find a synonym You like doing that sh**. You also seem to like judging a book by the color of its author Because apparently Maya Angelou is inferior due to her grammatical errors But white man Mark Twain can write a whole novel in nothing but grammatical errors And that sh** is a literate masterpiece. Well, I can't help but to pardon my people's slang because real n***as ain't real n***as If they don't got a twang, I won't apologize I won't apologize for mean muggin' from the back of the cla**room. Talking about existentialism like a motherf**ing boss! It's not your fault you can't vibe with me, n***as can't vibe with me Either because as soon as I raise my hand for anything other than a bathroom break I become a weirdo. And God forbid I excel. A 4.0 means I'm four shades lighter because apparently Intelligence is a white trait. At least that's what I've gathered. This one girl asked me: “Why would I use big words, so I can sound like you?” You know what I sound like? Like I've read a book before. According to my people, I act smart, so I act white. So I can't be black and be smart because black people are dumb? All this is – is self hate! And to them that's acceptable because white people told us n***as not to read 300 years ago And now n***as are telling other n***as not to read. What are we afraid of? It's like we think giving 100 percent means giving 100 lashes And my people don't even know that we are working with our oppressors. Just pa**ing on the torch, but we can't pa** the bar Because the bar has been set so low that we are crushing under the weight. And you expect me to cut cla** and get an F just to perpetuate the stereotype That's been instilled in this bullsh** curriculum? f** I look like? I will never, I will never equate stupidity with my melanin Nor will I ever sacrifice my skin for the white man's standards So never ask that I speak for anyone but me Represent anything but what I stand for and fight for anything but what I believe in And if anybody ever expected me to do anything but be myself, They got me f**ed up.
