White Elephant
By my family I was never wanted
Must've been the mouth,the brain that they hated
Living is such a sin I'd have to die to be celebrated
After all I live with these freaks,so how do I remain unaffected?
Even when I'm there my presence remains uninhabited
See,I've met better people
They dress better,look better,have better
But they're always intimidated
I wonder why cause I'm just out-dated
Everything they have was handed to them on a silver platter
Yet I have to work my way up the ladder
All the words they know are bland
What they read and write is simple
Like simply made for the simpletons
quite simple to read
so these simpletons believe it
simply cause they're simply
Simple
No matter how better
They claim to be
They can never knock down my ability
Cause writing is my capability
And to them writing is an inability
I hold no accountability to how
they react to my personality
I'm also simple-yeah,simply the best
And if you don't wanna burn,you better get used to that reality
I may be a white elephant to my family,
But to you,I'm your own worst enemy
