Do you remember that song by Janis Ian?
The one where she complains about
Not getting chosen for the basketball team?

Her song went, "For those

People despise yo moves they beef but it be by they selves I be into other things...
Drop like flies disguise in

cnd geed put a price on human life
convinced all of the worthlessness of their strife

of the way that i work
Through things is just by talking
and as i speak there is literally a cardinal
You are the snake that
Slithers in my grass
Slips through

I was another worn out cliche
Never been sold
Never been told what to do by my mother while dad was away
Learning his lines

So long I've been chasing after stars
In rusted broken down boxcars
Arm Scarred
Lungs filled up with tar
Crashing cars

Like a candle sheltered by a palm.

for my people who still in the cut

Want that, need that
Root of all evil mayne, (get it, get it)

Evident niggas going to hate by per 
Dollar I make, Benji I touch

This life, it taught me step by step
Been good with the bad lies

the middle of the night -
Even half a revolution
Would only bring you light

Go for the root
You're so messed up by politics lady
There's nothing exotic

Looking down, towards the remains 
Inner strength fuelled by hate

I have seen what happens when you grow your roots around other people
When the land that your feet stand on wasn't made for you or I

Fallen star, black and blue, broken hearts, wasted youth
