I gotta do it a couple times for a warm up I hate cliches
But what am I supposed to say
I feel stuck in the strife of a negro man
Tryna break through the ceiling of mediocrity
Speed in a given direction breeds velocity
Headed to the top, nobody's stopping me I hate cliches
But what am I supposed to say
I feel stuck in the strife of a negro man
Ain't got a pot to piss in, you better use your hand
Good intentions doesn't ensure a good outcome
But I can't let you win unless you got one
That's what she said better safe than sorry, better safe than sorry
I hate cliches, but what am I supposed to say
I feel stuck in the strife of a negro man
Read between the lines, play your cards right
It's an uphill battle Ignorance is bliss
I hope you catch my drift
I hope you catch my drift
Better remain silent and thought a fool
Than to speak and remove all doubt
Better remain silent and thought a fool
Than to speak and remove all doubt
Ignorance is bliss, I hope you catch my drift
Ignorance is bliss, I hope you catch my drift
I hate cliches, but what am I supposed to say
I feel stuck in the strife of a negro man
Champagne tastes, Bud Light budget
Read the book, my negro, before you judge it
Peek behind the door before you nudge it
Guess them lazy negros good for something
Made a big deal out of nothing
Get skilled enough and make you a trade A spade, go for a spade
I hate cliches, but what am I supposed to say
I feel stuck in the strife of a negro man
Don't piss on my leg and tell me it's raining
Don't piss on my leg and tell me it's raining
Are you concerned, are you complaining
Are you concerned, or are you blaming?
Don't piss on my leg and tell me it's raining
I hate cliches, but what am I supposed to say
I feel stuck in the strife, I feel stuck in the strife
Sharp, sharper than a knife, feel stuck in the strife
I know this shit ain't right, but I done turned on my light
And I'ma keep it on, and I'ma keep it on
And I'ma keep it on, and I'ma keep it on
