my only chance not easy to see
im not the great communicator that i used to be apparently
but i know what it means when i hear screams
and its the sonics not the phonics
and its all in the delivery
now im learning bout what lies underneath
so if you catch me speaking through my teeth
oh youve got to stop me now
i keep my ear to the street
and i keep on reading lips and looks
as im looking for that perfect beat
but i know its all down to me
and if somethings lost in the translation
i know i shouldnt take it so personally
but your instances look like answers to me
we been ebonics since we been 13
oh you like me now
they get to touch the ones been going on
they feed you crap you cant keep growing old
they give you stats to tell you you're nothing at all
well who do you wanna be?
and now your answers look like answers to me
we been eboncis since we been 13
oh you like me now
they get to touch the ones been going on
they feed you crap you cant keep growing old
they give you stats to tell you you're nothing at all
well who do you wanna be?
who you wanna be?
