ray ellis - textbook lyrics

[imogen heap sample]

[verse 1]

dreams of a team
hoping to blow up and to be seen on a screen
or am i just living
through false allegations of whats on my television
out working to be a witness of fortune in their position
instead of paying attention in cl-ss or paying tuition
i’m sitting in my room, beats spinning, me spitting
to the illest instrumentals, hoping you feel this mental
of a young black man whose p-ssionate through the pencil
and nah, i ain’t asking to be in issues of a double xl
or magazines that are issued, even though that would be dope
i put my whole live on hold like rosaries, what i’m grasping is sentimental
i’m blasting right at your temple without me grabbing a pistol
shooting lyrical bullets that may just happen to hit you
i’m sorry for contact, but i will not miss
i’m aiming for anybody who may feel like this, they like

[course : imogen heap sample]

[ray ellis mumbles]

they like
they like what i’m saying
they like what i’m doing
they told me to drop my music
and keep ya head into school
i say no, so f a textbook, textbook
yea, f it

[verse 2]

i told my family i wasn’t going to college after i graduated
i’ll never forget the day that i looked in the saddest faces
and tired to explain the way that, i know i’m gone make it
but things started changing, and hearts started breaking
my parents got separated and they went they separate ways
now my momma can’t make a payment without getting section 8
and it hurts, cuz every time she opens up that budget plan
i’m reminded i got to make it through this crooked government
it’s motivation cuz its takes me to a whole nother zone
where the eyes are closed, and the skies don’t move
and i’m standing in a room, where i get to choose
to to speak in this microphone until these people eyes are open
to the sound of the truth, this is how i know i’m chosen
to be spitting in a booth and make a difference with my notions
yea, now with that being said
what makes you little n-ggas think you’ll ever get in my head saying

[will smith]

it’s very simple, this is what i believe, and i’m willing to die for it. period

the first step before anybody else in the world believes it, is you have to believe it
there’s no reason to have a plan b because it distracts from plan a
