Mic Brim - Code Switch (Interlude)

I know some shit is only supposed to be spoken privately
I just ain't worried about what they think I should try to be
I respect their standards for them
It just don't apply to me
So it be surprising these folk
When I'm decoded
Just a little peek through the filter
They be taken aback
They forgot they had this expectation
I made them relax
They think there's barrier between what we're saying
It's wack
Palatable only when they use foul language
And that
Be fucking with me
I be angry at that
But what y'all be blaming is rap
And that's because you're privy
To the culture
You don't get it
But can't ignore it
The nerve of us to say how we feel and be standing on it
I'm watching professionals be unprofessional
Unveiling a side of them we could never show
I been suited from head to toe
And had my presence questioned and been expected to let it go
And that's unacceptable
We gotta be made of iron
The defense is supposed to be impregnable
All of them can extra though
Far as credit goes
Forget it
Your recognition is reserved
For when you fit the definition they prefer
That's why we tend to
Code switch
Code switch
Code switch
Code switch
