Lyrics

[Verse 1] Questions in mind "Will I be accepted or not?" If not that's fine, won't let it hold me down The mold I'm breakin' out stereotypes Like she can't rip the mic, she's white Get it right, come to a show Come to a session at the studio, watch me flow Watch the record sales, watch me blow Watch me get'em all sayin' "Oh, look at her go" It ain't like that at first 'till I drop that first verse Then cats eyes pop out like they brain gon' burst Get up in the club, 'bout to rip a show up They don't even know what I'm there for Girls be like "I can't believe she showed up" "What's she doin' here, who let her in?" "Don't she see she don't belong? Yo, she don't fit in" I don't fit in anywhere but everywhere at the same time 'Cause all different types of people vibe off the same rhyme [Chorus] Instead of black and white, could it be me and you Look inside my soul, tell me what's visible Don't put me with the rest, I'm an individual Sometimes the best things lie beyond the physical [Verse 2] People like you aren't supposed to do what you do People like me, what the fuck people like you That prejudge and can't get beyond the color lines Corrupt children and they children's minds spread through bloodlines Hatred is not an instinct Get some education for ya ass and then tell me what ya think Learn from those I come in contact, watch for attack Keep my guard up down for combat Can't back away 'cause they don't see it my way Or they not used to people like me comin' they way Only hate 'cause people fear the unknown But fear drive me to take a chance and be bold Try to knock me down, gotta stay on my toes Prevail winner of the game 'cause they think I'm gon fold More than you see more than skin and bones More than blood more than flesh I'm soul [Chorus] Instead of black and white, could it be me and you Look inside my soul, tell me what's visible Don't put me with the rest, I'm an individual Sometimes the best things lie beyond the physical [Verse 3] Yeah, it gets rough, being the minority's tough Yeah, there's been times I felt like I had enough 'Bout to give up but I held strong Felt like lettin' go of my dreams but I held on I can't let anyone stand in my way Everyone got they opinion, I don't care what they say Out of NY moved to the LI-TH-ONIA down to Ga Me and my roommate stand out in the complex Ain't no thing I relate through rhyme contest Earn my respect through rhymes Rhymes help me get through times When ignorant people creep under my skin and get to mines I don't understand they mind state Talk about both sides of the board dog they make me irate Need to pick up a book and work they intellect And let respect gain respect [Chorus] Instead of black and white, could it be me and you Look inside my soul, tell me what's visible Don't put me with the rest, I'm an individual Sometimes the best things lie beyond the physical
