Black Dave - I Am Myself (Poem) [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1: Black Dave]
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, ain't even got no money in they pocket

I was told to respect my elders
But why so many of my elders making the same stupid mistakes

I was told the police are here to help
But now it seems like they want us dead more than our worst enemies (shit crazy)

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 (fake niggas)

Fuck all that shit
I am myself
I am black
I am Black Dave
I am Black Bart
