lyrics
CHORUS
Walk around the city with a chip up on my shoul/der
Stand in red carpet pictures but I never been a poser
Focused on my goals, my circle is gettin closer
Way beyond the days we'd do a favor for exposure, yea
VERSE 1
Stereotypes
Little slights they try to slide through
My big sister earned that PhD so fuck you
No talkin down on us, the sun it won't go down on us
Father crossed an ocean, so your wave it won't be drownin us
Crownin us royalty
I'm talkin we to the widest degree
My team is large enough we could start our own league
Satchel Paige
Japanese kids playin basketball at younger age
A pilgrimage to Yuri Kochiyama grave
We belong here, fuck your toleration
Ancestors laid the tracks that unified this nation
Libations and baijiu orations
And it never came easy, but the goal was worth the waiting
CHORUS
VERSE 2
Imposter syndrome
Makin a livin still it claimed a victim
Since school, boy, accustomed to habits and contradictions
Predictions were always Yale and never jail though
Still I seen both
Mm
Pressures on like the barometer broke
That I would never measure up
Then I look down on most
What a joke, balancin bruised ego and arrogance
Full of pride, while I hide my embarrassment
The shoes I fill could break this box they try to set us in
I didn't study it but still we make this medicine
You bet on me? Better believe, yea I bet I win
Better than the benefits of doubt they tried to play me with
CHORUS
Walk around the city with a chip up on my shoul/der
Stand in red carpet pictures but I never been a poser
Focused on my goals, my circle is gettin closer
Way beyond the days we'd do a favor for exposure, yea
