I can say I’m underestimated

Cover my face and rap you'll wonder and you'll ask who made it

I'm knocking rappers out it’s nothing under rest they’re taking

Under arrest for taking me as underestimated

My uncle’s nephew’s favorite rapper’s me

And yes I have cousins, a dozen

I swarm ‘em by the coven

Get my aunt’s and uncle’s money just to buy my music

So you've no excuse not to buy it too, with at least 12 high reviews

I got 7th graders telling me I am their savior

Forget the haters we are separate from that behavior

Yeah, I’ve had better days

I used to masquerade my face

Behind a glass of lemonade

‘cause different was my second nature

I never elevated to that state of renegade

With rap’s audience, my frequencies don’t resonate

So I’m in the middle, gently placed

Between hip hop head heavy weights and kids who’ve yet to graduate

It’s a very great accomplishment and hindrance

To constantly get dismissed

While complements are endless

The consequence is different

Depending on who's listening

And if you raise your hand at me with any less than 5 digits

I can I can

I can say I’m underestimated

Cover my face and rap you'll wonder and you'll ask who made it

I'm knocking rappers out it’s nothing under rest they’re taking

Under arrest for taking me as underestimated

"Order in the court” the gavel he thumps

The plaintiff, you, sues the defendant, us

I can attest that you’d testify my appeal is too young

And by default I can’t rap, now plead the fifth on his tongue

A jury of your peers objects to that stuff

And your duty as fiduciary’s one we don’t trust

I refuse to succumb when the verdict ‘ain't just

And make a bunch of excuses with ad hominem grunts

‘cause that’s corrupt

I’m ultimate with a pen in my clutch

You’re only ultimate if there’s a pen- in the front

Your incorrectness shows no eraser's abrasive enough

To fix a sentence so presumptive like it came from that judge

Saying I shoulda quit, I think I fit like a glove

I find that you’d get convicted; I’ll be acquitted and loved

Talk about justice, it’s the punishment when you throw a punch

Now I'm adored, we adjourn, courts dismissed let’s have lunch

But If you’d rather crunch on numbers

You’ve got another thing coming cause one is just not like the other

You wanna touch my tongue? You’re nothing but a sucker

I’mma sucker punch you in the gut until you’re chucking deuces doubled

That’s number 4,yo, check the certificate

I was born twice as good as all you two faced simpletons

I’m a cryptic integer who’s spitting from the podium

Like 'Math4yo’s here to lecture on Tetraphobia

Ha

Even when I’m even I’m still in my prime example

Of how to gamble with failure and leave all your minds scrambled

I add up pieces in my sleep to find the right angle

If you‘ain't squared then come around like my Knight Table

This 'ain't a zero sum game we’re playing

I figure It’s a different schtick and some will come to definitely hate it

When they guess the sum of my success and think they took the test and aced it

Let’s face it

I’m standing under estimated
