Gradient is back for you rap cats and I'm makin' scratches At the game, never been the same, finna light a flame with a book of matches I'm a disaster when I rap casually, I'm a problem so mathematically It's a fact that I'm irrational like three point one four one of y'all to say That I'm quite wack? Well the way that I'd strike back is to say “That's just like, your opinion, man,” but I'm like Shaq ‘Cause I just don't do go away, even if you've had quite enough of me I'mma be an individual, ‘cause there's never gonna be another me Life is a cla**room, it just depends on your outlook I'll be in the front row with five pencils and a notebook ‘Cause I'm so hooked on absorbing every little bit of knowledge that I can Knowledge plus wisdom is power in your hands And I wanna get my hands quite full, tryna be a better human being ‘Cause I got a lotta opportunities a lotta people never seen A lotta people got dreams but spend too much time wishin' Hard work is a virtue, make your dreams come to fruition ‘Cause their ain't no tuition at the university of Wikipedia You could spend an hour on there and learn a lot more than the media Will report in a whole week ‘Cause their audience is all sheep I'm talking ‘bout cable news, man, ‘cause a lot of us are asleep ‘Cause it's not just Fox News, man, it's also MSNBC Anyone to try to put me in a box, never been a friend to me I'm more clever than the enemy, so they're never gonna get at me And they better be on Ketamine, if they ever think I'mma let it be We can do better than this, y'all, just think independently You don't have to pretend to be anything less than you wanna be When I'm on the beat, and I'm droppin' heat I'm an animal, like a wallaby, like I ought to be This is how I say I don't quite fit the dichotomy We live in a false economy and eat each other up, like piranha be But I'mma be different ‘cause I wanna feed, I don't wanna eat And I'm gonna be very proud of me, and you're gonna wish you never doubted me Whoa, sorry for that rant, y'all, I just really had to get that outta me
