Yeah life aint what it seems
2016 moved to the City of Cream
With a dollar and a dream ultralight beam
I knew my life had to be on to bigger better things
Wanted to be the professor that I never had
First and last Black professor that they'll ever have
That's the type of shit that used to make a nigga mad
Hope there's more to your life than chasing a fucking bag
Never was I in the class trying to change minds
I be in the classroom trying to change lives 
Huey Newton Revolutionary Suicide 
The Spook that Sat by the Ivory Tower, I'm in disguise
Year 35 still Eyes on the Prize
Star Trekking, Next Generation, no Enterprise 
A Black mind they could never ever gentrify 
Haters try to bury me but like Maya still I riiiiise (up)
To the occasion, always on my feet that's a standing ovation
Yeah I'm bout to pour all these lyrical libations
Into your soul fam this a dedication
To the ongoing struggle for liberation 
Ain't a hood nigga but I'm hood nigga adjacent 
May need more than education for what we facing
Tell my people never be complacent
I keep my 10 toes down cemented
And reinvented
What it meant to be a professor
And stayed authentic
Even though along the way many got offended 
They thought I was too nigga to be an academic
NWA with a PhD
I tell you right now they never getting rid of me
Finally I think they beginning to really see
I'mma just gunna keep going on like infinity
I came a long way from little poor Black boy
Rocking Bugle Boy
On my back was a Jansport
Fast forward, now I'm getting stamps on the passport
Looking 6'9 based on everything I stand for
I came a long way from little poor Black boy
Rocking Bugle Boy
On my back was a Jansport
Fast forward, now I'm getting stamps on the passport
Looking 6'9 based on everything I stand for
Yeah in the year 2022
Relocated to Miami now I'm throwing up the U
Looking at my life still can't believe it's true 
Wishing my Grandma was here so she could see it too
Social mobility might be bringing me different views 
But my memories of where I came from I'll never lose
Sacrificed so much for these dreams that I have pursued
Nothing came easy, ah naw I over paid my dues
Ain't looking for sympathy for the life I choose
Had no other options but to win I couldn't lose 
I run marathons around the world in they kicks
And bet they couldn't even two step in my fucking shoes
Yeah, I'm came a long way from Santa Cruz
Never on the right angle, I was more hypotenuse
Poetically Handle Doubt on my Langston Hughes 
This Negro Speaks of Rivers and these Po' Boy Blues
Yeah without any clues, I Too, Sing America what will we do
Got that PhD and the struggle stills ensues 
Sad to see some of us sell our soul for the revenue
Couldn't be me though naw real through and through
This above all, to thine own self be true
First I dream it then I live it deja vu 
Making something out of nothing just like we always do
I came a long way from little poor Black boy
Rocking Bugle Boy
On my back was a Jansport
Fast forward, now I'm getting stamps on the passport
Looking 6'9 based on everything I stand for
I came a long way from little poor Black boy
Rocking Bugle Boy
On my back was a Jansport
Fast forward, now I'm getting stamps on the passport
Looking 6'9 based on everything I stand for
Yeah, life aint what it seems
2016 moved to the City of Cream
With a dollar and a dream ultralight beam
I knew my life had to be on to bigger better things
