K.Carter - Affirmative Action

Yeah
Yeah
OK class is in session the history of his story is only half of the lesson
Other half is perception I took direction
From those who told me no weapon formed against me shall prosper so I bought a Wesson
It became my obsession no more repression had to get this out of me
People don't like this side of me this is part of my psychology
Botany planted in the concrete to grow up
But the economy drew first blood like phlebotomy
Through all that I rose through the ashes with Pheonix passion
The same haters will swear they seen it happen you know they cappin'
The pain became my passion
So I jumped on the wagon I went from snappin'
To spittin' with the dragons the streets was draggin'
Me back to the bottom of the totem pole you know the drill
I boxed with the devil to make it to the holy field
Not street but the hood know I'm real I got the juice
They said don't trip but when I get the Q hold the steel
I see the light believe me see the light
Racism all around even the gates of heaven pearly white
That's a stretch but you know I'm right even when I'm down I got to fight
Yeah the courts are like mothers they both gave my people life
Yeah I know the type why I hold the mic
Society gave me a death sentence before I learned to write
That was back when I was in school kickin' it like Cobra Kai
They didn't see me knocking doors down like a poltergeist but I earned my stripes
Now I'm showing you what happens when I'm given a chance
I'm the kid that never went to the dance now I ball
Waltz up to you with an open hand life is a beach
Jesus walked on water I crossed the burning sands
Man y'all don't know what a blessing is
Hell on earth
I just had the revelation y'all just Roman don't know where the exit is
I'm not yo leader I'm a stop it there
Not with flair subtle but needed like a pocket square who got us here
