Black Dave - I Am Myself lyrics

rate me

I was told you gotta go to college and have a good education in order to be successful

But why so many people with degrees still out here without a job struggling

They ain’t even got no money in they pocket

I was told to respect my elders but why so many of my elders always making the same stupid mistakes

I was told the police was here to help

But now it seems that they want us dead more than our worse enemies

I was told creativity is everything

But why so many people in the spotlight are just duplicates of their peers

And the people who came before them

Fuck all that shit, I am myself, I am black, I am Black Dave, I am Black Bart
