trying to make it
What do you tell a kid tryna make it?
That they have to fake it in algebra because they can't take it?
What do you tell a kid in gangs? That in order to be cool you have to bang bang nd maintain to stay in the game?
What do you tell a straight A student? Now that your above the rest being a doctor is next?
What do you tell me? Nothing you see because i don't need a test scoring me on what i want to be, this scholarship is for me and the things I'll accomplish won't be just a dream anymore it'll be the things you used to tell me
