Imagine my degree doesn't hold the same weight
All just because I'm not pale in the face
Is it hard for you to believe,
intelligence is found in every race
Black, fine and gifted.. knowledgeable in every kind of way
What you see as a roadblock is really an asset because of how I play
You hear me blasting Future and ready to categorize me
But you fail to realize, I can hit every key on Beethoven's piano concerto number 3
I'm different from most and better than the rest
I'm not some basic female, that money and sex can easily impress
My influence is evident, I just don't show off or brag about it
I can fill your shoes, teach you a few things.. have you wondering if you should quit
Maybe I'm just magical, maybe I'm just rare as can be
You can try all you want but win or lose you'll never get the best of me
