People Like Me
They say it's hard for people like me to succeed
They say it's because we're a minority
They say it's because we don't really try
They say it's because we're all just...waiting to die
They say the chances of me getting in are slim
They say I'd be better hanging out at the prison gym
They say these things because ignorance is bliss
But I say that those words aren't something that I'll miss
While I'm busy making a brighter future for myself
I'll be busy...so I'll just put those comments on the shelf.
