I gorilla


im gorilla 
im ape
least thats what they think
im a neanderthal
cause im shoving leaves in my a vape
run you down
for a blue face
might as well
justice put my cousin in a coffin
welcome to my hell
when i be talking to his coffin
i be talking to myself
and you call that justice
cause a man wheres a bagde
he can put bullets in my cousin
but im gorilla 
im APE
guess it makes it ok
cause im darker
im less smarter
im a savage im a beast
probably look at me 
think i dont know my abc's
or one plus one plus one is three or
i dont wait for the light to change to cross the street or
IM A ANOTHER BLACK MAN, A BOTTOM FEEDER, A LEACHER,
Dead wrong and they turn they heads fast
when they see the cash i make all on my own
They probably think i got it from robbing people homes
they dont know im a genious
parttime as a social worker
and a closer at wendys
one semester away from a AA in business
but they look at me and dont see
they only see what they want to believe
That im a gorilla
im a ape
PAY HIM NO MIND HE PROBABLY GOING TO FAIL ANYWAYS
PROBABLY GOING TO STEAL ANYWAYS
PROBABLY GOING TO JAIL ANYWAYS
YOURE WRONG 
Im will be successful and ima do it in your face
just watch...
