Black Averageness

Lyrics

[Intro: Shad] Yeah So you've heard of Black excellence (Yes) I love Black excellence (It's excellent) Unfortunately, this is not that (Jared Dudley) It's something different (Very median) Check it out [Verse 1: Shad] I'm one of a billion Paying the bills man, Bills fan Live in a building, my only drama's all my children I'm chilling (We a'ight) Not broke not rich Only chalet that we going to is "Swiss" I relate, to a Fred VanVleet I'm like swish, or I miss "Bish you basic," well it is, what it is Look I say that I'm busy, not that busy though I'm no Diddy, look at the video Wifey work for the city, pension's litty, y'all should retire I do admire, those who aspire But I don't really, not tryna be flyer: Canadian Tire Life for us is already often catastrophic So shout out all my Africans that learn to data process To fatten up the pockets, deal with racist bosses Stanley at the office, turn it off and watch this [Hook: Shad] If you fall—ok, only ball ok I just want you to know that that's all ok If you just rap, ok, only trap, ok And you sing ok like karaoke say oh Say, ok Say (Ok) Say Ok [Verse 2: Shad] Uh, I'm a bizarre person I look regular like a Levar Burton More into the Star Trek than the Star Search and hard working Shad is savage Not a caddy I'm just Black with baggage Daddy with a daughter I'd be happy if she match the average People want me to be bad but I won't People want me to like jazz but I don't Wish I did, too many notes Can I live, at my crib? We just folks I'm a man, why I wanna be a GOAT? I just wanna see us cope We either stars or we broke Like you either make 'em laugh or you're a joke? I'm like nope I have every right to be like a B or a C Wit' a durag on while I ski They don't get it Melanin, paramedics Dentists, dental hygienists or delivering for UPS or Fed Ex, pops said it [Hook: Shad] If you fall—ok, you just ball ok I just want you to know that that's all ok If you just rap, ok, only trap, ok And you sing ok like karaoke say Ay, ay Ay, ay It's ok, ok
