Let Me Be Great Meaning
| [Don’t tell me what I am You see me and you judge me You underestimate my greatness And speak to me condescendingly The hate in your heart is blatant I see it, I feel it, I hear it You, keep these beliefs near your spirit I understand that’s what you were taught But ya thoughts are irrelevant Cuz what society defines me as and what I truly am Is completely separate You look at me, and say “appears of average intelligence , Skinny beyond belief and too short Looks like a wannabe thug that mugs And is disrespectful and apathetic Puts himself first, and everyone else second He’s arrogant, and pompous Probably has no conscience” See I get these things daily Just based off of what they see But they don’t know me So then they hear me speak And they’re like “oh he’s quite eloquent, proper Mannerable, respectful , Socially aware Deep rooted in cultures” BUT REALLY I’M NONE OF THAT I could be a blue bird or a vulture Nice and pleasant or vicious Like, when I’m with white women I’m nice and charming So they start swarming and throwing me their garments I articulate everything, enunciate heavily, and tell Them of my dreams to be in the Senate But don’t give me too much credit Because I’m none of those I’m not a proper gentleman that’s classy , And I don’t always choose to be fancy Nor am I a nerd, just because I choose to use certain words But don’t confuse it I am a master of the influence Abusing your views on me, as these words flow as smooth as music But at my truest, I am a black man, athletic, a hip-hop head, with friends who’re dead Ghetto sometimes, committed some crimes, I like kool-aid, watermelon and my chicken fried But that’s not all there is to me. Nah that’s not all there is to me My step mom’s Hawaiian and my girlfriend’s Mexican My cousins are Puerto Rican and my favorite teacher’s white And I learn different things from them all So my thoughts and beliefs don’t revolve Around what you expect See, I’m into government, I’m a student who’s coveted Helping others, and making people smile all the time And I’m not trying to complain and whine I’m just saying I’m tired of being put in a box DON’T TELL me I can’t do something because of what you see Don’t let my demographics limit my abilities Let me be me Let me be me Cuz one thing I hate Is when you tell me I can’t be great So Let ME BE GREAT LET ME BE GREAT Because my demographics don’t define me or my fate I move at my own pace Just let me be great] |
