about

Everyone has a story. This is mine.

lyrics

(Verse 1)
Way back when I was younger
A store brand Steve Urkel, scotch tape on my glasses
They never saw me comin’
Bangin’ on the lunch tables
With my number #2 pencils

They say he don’t look like he sing
He don’t look like he rap
Hol’ up shawty can dance
Isn’t that the same nerd
Who peed his pants in our class (yeah)
Tried to tell me I’m wack
Knock the books out my hand
Momma, God, and these beats
They were my only friends
Fillin’ my head with followin’ melody

(Pre-Chorus)
I can do anything
I can do
I can do
I can anything

(Chorus)
Wish I could hug younger me
Tell him how dope his future’s gonna’ be
Show him that the man who he grew up to be
Is a revolutionary
I still can feel the younger me
When I meet a bully yeah
Or I feel underestimated
Go ‘head and underestimate me (yeah)
Cause’ I’mma do it anyway

(Verse 2)
One day I got a rock
I mean a hundred pound boulder, lots of bumps, lot of crags and I
I took it on a walk
Tryna’ show my neighbors how I feel bein’ Black

And, uh, they weren’t happy with me
We ain’t friends anymore
I’m disturbin’ their peace
They say I’m startin’ war
MLK would floored, sure
We been marchin’ these streets
Since to 2014
I write every week
To freedom fighters like me
Around the world
Tellin’ ‘ em

(Pre-chorus)
We can do anything
We can do
We can do
We can do anything

(Chorus)
Wish I could hug younger me
Tell him how dope his future’s gonna’ be
Show him that the man who he grew up to be
Is a revolutionary
I still can feel the younger me
When I meet a bully yeah
Or I feel underestimated
Go ‘head and underestimate me (yeah)
Cause’ I’mma do it anyway
