grading on a curve - a.d. carson lyrics

Loading...

“[1]
if you never said you wanted what was real
then it was unexpected when i told you how i feel

when i say i don’t know much, no, it ain’t fiction
but i can only tell you how i’m living. and my vision
is a mirror image, splitting where i’m from and where i’m going
hopefully with precision like a poet who’s performing
and my brainstorming’s more like rain pouring while i’m crying
so i change more than i explain, or i like to try it

the lives of giants require a bigger picture
so it could sound offensive to hear that i spit for n-gg-s
but the itchy trigger fingers of k!llers cutting them down
matched with plenty bigger things that i see could be more profound
has me really, really thinking my voice can be more resounding
if i match the proper adjectives, verbs, listen to nouns, and

try to say it how i heard it when i heard it

so it’s deliberately worded how it’s worded

[hook]
they say its often the us that’ll up and pull it
but us is very different when punctuated with bullets

u.s.—ask and they’ll probably say
in target practice using our backs, they get an a

and they ain’t grading on a curve
say it to they face, they say you grating on they nerves
by bringing up the past, and saying certain words
tell them that it’s racist it’s like you said a slur

[2]
so the conversation is over
i’m the black guy who will consciously make your quota
no game—credit will not be given
speaking to existence is more than a superstition
i’m a let you finish, but after i hope you listen
the ignorance you live in can be your personal prison

and i got a certain suspicion
but very few f-cks, so it ain’t worth it to give ‘em

and if i had ‘em to spare
then i could write a thesis just to teach that it’s there
but you could likely see the same aggrievements i’d prepare
‘cause that’s what people do when people care

but you stay in set your positions
don’t want the world to change so you change the definitions
pretend the world that i describe is not the world you live in
but still you’d like to hear from me forgiveness

[hook]
they say its often the us that’ll up and pull it
but us is very different when punctuated with bullets

u.s.—ask and they’ll probably say
in target practice using our backs, they get an a

and they ain’t grading on a curve
say it to they face, they say you grating on they nerves
by bringing up the past, and saying certain words
tell them that it’s racist it’s like you said a slur.”
