I Am Myself Lyrics

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
