Pharoahe Monch - Calculated Amalgamation lyrics

I was determined as damaged, psychologically But still managed to gain a new perspective on the term "Surround yourself with greatness" Found myself standing in a room full of mirrors But even my reflections disrespect you like a freshman during hazing (What an amazing a**essment) The police booked me for Booksmart but who the promoters book now?
