The Talented Tenth |
Yeah |
Huh |
Right |
So many questioned why the had to change |
Cause I evolved while other artists stayed the same |
Much respect to all the pioneers who paved the way |
But if I want what they got |
I got to make something great |
I don’t believe that any man has all the truths |
Cause consciousness changes as man discovers more proof |
You’re not a student 'til you put that little fact to use |
Nothing scientific |
The spiritual is absolute |
A student approaches a master with humility |
Sits in silence and at his feet willingly |
A master gets mad and tells him to hit the streets |
You won’t learn a thing if you’re busy sitting here with me |
Arm chair quarterbacks and backseat drivers |
Struggle to describe things that haven’t come across their eyelids |
But I can tell you 'bout the road because I did the drive |
You’ll never know the latest issues if you don’t subscribe |
I’m well armed in an information firefight |
Who needs conspiracies |
It’s all hidden in plain sight |
I hit the library and barely go out at night |
Cause man without right knowledge shouldn’t be allowed to write |
My name is Blueprint |
Thanks for your consideration |
I know I’m privileged to have a voice inside this nation |
I’m trying to be the voice of my entire generation |
Not just the smartest slave on the plantation |
I live my life inside the grey between black and white |
The darkest days have never stopped me from shining bright |
We’re all human |
But when I have a shitty day I think of how my pops told me to dunk it on that |
breakaway |
You got one shot |
It shouldn’t be a fade-away |
Fight for your art or drown in the day to day |
If you ain’t got it then admit |
Walk away today |
The truth set you free but it cuts like a razor blade |
But they rather bathe in their own delusions |
Reject the rejections and come up with they own conclusions |
Put record after record out with no improvement |
Then claim that all the haters stopped the movement |
You can’t be a has been if you ain’t never tried |
Self sabotage ain’t the same as when you get denied |
The idea of being honest got you terrified |
Your so called hustle’s never been verified |
Lover’s of the status quo get terrorized |
Point blank I’m here to throw salt in your think tank |
Dumb rapper’s thought patterns seem archaic |
The how and the what but why never gets debated |
What do you do when you can’t stop your brain from thinking |
Drown a thirst for knowledge with a heavy dose of drinking |
Spend a 100 grand on furthering your education |
Or find a higher consciousness by seeking information |
The way you answer that shows what you’re made of |
Be it’s Americana so maybe be something greater |
I’m here to push it to the fullest extent |
My destination is to sit among the talented tenth |
Let’s go! |
