you say I'm insignificant
and I'll never amount to nothing
you say I'm no good
and a hazard to the public
so what of it
why even get me started on the subject
just because I'm a young black male
doesn't mean I can't be trusted
so what if I'm not proper
that's just who I am
and I wish you had the balls to call me insignificant again
I'm tired of being another number
just another statistic
when I know I got more of future
then your silly degree from princeton
I hope the right people listening
because this message ain't for everyone
you say I'm worth nothing
I say I've just begun
I will not sit back and rest until I feel I'm number one
and even when that day comes I will never be done
I will never say I'm finished
I will never concede to you
I'm going to keep moving up
until the day I die
then I'll be through
