Gradient is back for you rap cats and I’m makin’ scratches

At the game, never been the same, finna light a flame with a book of matches

I’m a disaster when I rap casually, I’m a problem so mathematically

It’s a fact that I’m irrational like three point one four one of y’all to say

That I’m quite wack? Well the way that I’d strike back is to say

“That’s just like, your opinion, man,” but I’m like Shaq

‘Cause I just don’t do go away, even if you’ve had quite enough of me

I’mma be an individual, ‘cause there’s never gonna be another me

Life is a classroom, it just depends on your outlook

I’ll be in the front row with five pencils and a notebook

‘Cause I’m so hooked on absorbing every little bit of knowledge that I can

Knowledge plus wisdom is power in your hands

And I wanna get my hands quite full, tryna be a better human being

‘Cause I got a lotta opportunities a lotta people never seen

A lotta people got dreams but spend too much time wishin’

Hard work is a virtue, make your dreams come to fruition

‘Cause their ain’t no tuition at the university of Wikipedia

You could spend an hour on there and learn a lot more than the media

Will report in a whole week

‘Cause their audience is all sheep

I’m talking ‘bout cable news, man, ‘cause a lot of us are asleep

‘Cause it’s not just Fox News, man, it’s also MSNBC

Anyone to try to put me in a box, never been a friend to me

I’m more clever than the enemy, so they’re never gonna get at me

And they better be on Ketamine, if they ever think I’mma let it be

We can do better than this, y’all, just think independently

You don’t have to pretend to be anything less than you wanna be

When I’m on the beat, and I’m droppin’ heat

I’m an animal, like a wallaby, like I ought to be

This is how I say I don’t quite fit the dichotomy

We live in a false economy and eat each other up, like piranha be

But I’mma be different ‘cause I wanna feed, I don’t wanna eat

And I’m gonna be very proud of me, and you’re gonna wish you never doubted me

Whoa, sorry for that rant, y’all, I just really had to get that outta me
