Trapped outer space, yet I still breathe Forced underwater, yet I found air Wrongly in solitary, yet how did I leave? Shut me in my own room, yet I’ve got room to spare. Tried to make me feel homeless in my own home But I’m free, somebody whose body you’ll never own Tried to make me a stranger in my own city But I’m no victim, take back your own pity. Thanks for no help, but I rise regardless The top of my class, that’s in spite of hardships Called me a “nigger”, but your lies are garbage Guess what? Now this nigger’s the brightest artist.
