Scroll Detroit schools rank lowest again in reading scores Scroll ICE raids coming to your city Scroll Black man killed at hands of police Scroll Still no water and no justice for Flint I was never taught how to deal with hateful headlines Never taught how to deal with treacherous trauma Never taught how to deal with backstabbers and bullying Had to teach myself how to unplug But how can I unplug the same plug my success depends on Soon as I'm plugged back in there's more hate waiting Fannie Lou Hamer said it best I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired Yeah I'm stressed and I'm pressed Because I'm gonna be the best But at least I stay dressed to impress God is putting me through this test we call life Alhamdulillah he blessed me with this power to express But I dare anyone to suppress Imma huff up my chest Let these words do the punching And place your lack of intelligence On house arrest Better watch what I say or these words will make me blow Like a suicide fighter I'm the teacher that will ride or die So legendary my poems will go platinum after I die I'm tired of my own kind treating me like the devil Like this country doesn't already see me like the devil Not Muslim enough not American enough Not Arab enough not African enough I'm really the best of them all Cuz I'm a blend of them all Algerian warrior in my blood Fighter to the bone Too radical for the masses Got a X on my back like Malcolm Everything I do like Malcom I'm fearless now like Malcolm Got the spirit of Malcolm I look up and say Would you be proud I've kept the revolution alive And it sure will be televised Stop telling me who I gotta be and what I gotta do I'm on a mission to fulfill my true vision Like the prophet of God I only seek prophecies no fallacies Preaching consciously our ancestors' chronology Here to deliver the message in my lesson I'm the chosen one writing the truth I speak the truth I spit the truth I am the truth My students are my witness Like the two angels on my shoulders I'm queen Nefertiti in real life Too ambitious building a kingdom to be a wife Won't apologize for who I am and what I stand for If you got one more thing to say I promise it might be the last time you stand For don't be fooled by this cute face I'm the one that revolutionizes your kids, their kids, and their kids So choose Which side of history Will you stand for
