You Better Ask Somebody

You don't know me. Acting like you do in everything you think you see. Yeah I'm black. But
nothing about that is whack! I see you thinking yeah another under acheiver. But you don't
know me. So why judge me as another ghetto fella. Yeah I know where I live and I know
where I have been. What gives you the right to tell me I could never win. It took a lot to be
where I am now. Thats why I can take a bow. Not every black guy is a gangbanger or a thug.
Drinking forty's out of a mug.Here is my P H D. Better yet guess? You better ask  somebody.
