RandomBlackDude - Projects Prodigy (Chum Remix) lyrics

[Hook] All of the races collide in a place Racist judgement based in color of face Terrible notions bring out the harmful prejudice I became the projects prodigy my story is this 21st century and we're still in this psyche [Verse 1] Started in middle school on the lower east side Thrown into the ruckus I quickly had to decide How to fit it 'cause that's the only way to survive Three years of a backstroke from a cultural dive You see the melting pot was condensed in this school Survival of the fittest was the name of the rule Blacks and Latinos on one side of the schism Whites and Asians on the other side of racism Fist fights everyday "let's rumble after cla**" "I'd rather not, you'd probably kick my a**" That's the only way I avoided getting broken bones A timid white nerd like napoleon's clone But what racism does is it blinds the people To a life of cynicism far from the church steeple I looked beyond and saw a few darker friends Who could help me through and meet my ends [Hook] [Verse 2] Around seventh grade that's when I started to rap If I could show off my talent maybe people would clap Instead of getting involved in a gang and going to jail Maybe i could inspire friends to go to Harvard or Yale It's amazing how quick people can be to judge So what I'm white, don't be holding a grudge Underneath the surface of skin we're all the same Everyone's a brother, no matter what his name East Side West Side don't be starting no wars If you make it to the top, just wait and hold the door There's plenty hate in the world we don't need no more No more brothers getting shot outside the corner store It breaks my heart when kids get shot eating skittles What message are we sending with a hasty acquittal? So instead of fighting over colors you can follow my lead Become a projects prodigy and set yourself free! [Hook] [Outro] Andy B-B Introductions 2k13 Peace and Love
