Part I: Against The Grain

[Spoken Word Intro: Tobe Nwigwe]
Uh, we just wanted to against the grain a little bit
So Miss Madeline Edwards, if you would

[Chorus: Madeline Edwards]
'Cause you were made to
Do what no one's done
And though they shade you
You shine like the sun
'Cause you were made to
Do what no one's done
And though they shade you
You shine like the sun

[Verse 1: Tobe Nwigwe]
Aight, I feel like the masses on melatonin when it come to melanin
I grew up melancholy 'cause I ain't realize that the hemoglobin in my skin
Was connected to a lineage that never ever had to penny pinch
Serpent hissing at me, I take the blade to his neck to kill all the hissy fits
Ugh, please don't try me, I get more than grimey wen it come to Juju
Hence why my name is Tobechukwu and the flow like a tutu
Wrapped around the waist of Misty Copeland
Graceful even though I hail from broken
Places where they say that none are chosen to rise among the raptors
Like DeRozan, ugh
Flow o so, so Jurassic
Tough to find a suitor in my bracket
Where I'm from
My hood was filled with bastards
Not they fault
They daddy had it backwards
Hopefully they don't adopt the habits
Of the seed that turned them to a savage
'Cause
