Mr. Fiasco's The Cool Irony I couldn't kick push, because I'd probably fall And if I crack my head open i'd have no one to call My mama works two jobs, pops works out of state Band practice after school, my house'll be empty till late So my backpack packed with textbooks, a gameboy, and some sheet music Three broken pencils, it's heavy i'm used to it I wasn't **** back then truly not much has changed I went to Samuel from sam acceptance of myself in my name Acceptance of my mistakes, and the release of the shame And realized when you a genius they label you lame
