Black Averageness

[Intro: Shad]
Yeah
So you’ve heard of Black excellence (Yes)
I love Black excellence (It's excellent)
Unfortunately, this is not that (Jared Dudley)
It's something different (Very median)
Check it out

[Verse 1: Shad]
I’m one of a billion
Paying the bills man, Bills fan
Live in a building, my only drama’s all my children
I’m chilling (We a'ight)
Not broke not rich
Only chalet that we going to is "Swiss”
I relate, to a Fred VanVleet I'm like swish, or I miss
"Bish you basic," well it is, what it is
Look I say that I’m busy, not that busy though
I’m no Diddy, look at the video
Wifey work for the city, pension’s litty, y’all should retire
I do admire, those who aspire
But I don’t really, not tryna be flyer: Canadian Tire
Life for us is already often catastrophic
So shout out all my Africans that learn to data process
To fatten up the pockets, deal with racist bosses
Stanley at the office, turn it off and watch this

[Hook: Shad]
If you fall—ok, only ball ok
I just want you to know that that’s all ok
If you just rap, ok, only trap, ok
And you sing ok like karaoke say oh
Say, ok
Say (Ok)
Say
Ok

[Verse 2: Shad]
Uh, I’m a bizarre person
I look regular like a Levar Burton
More into the Star Trek than the Star Search and hard working
Shad is savage
Not a caddy I'm just Black with baggage
Daddy with a daughter I'd be happy if she match the average
People want me to be bad but I won't
People want me to like jazz but I don't
Wish I did, too many notes
Can I live, at my crib? We just folks
I'm a man, why I wanna be a GOAT?
I just wanna see us cope
We either stars or we broke
Like you either make 'em laugh or you're a joke? I'm like nope
I have every right to be like a B or a C
Wit' a durag on while I ski
They don't get it
Melanin, paramedics
Dentists, dental hygienists or delivering for UPS or Fed Ex, pops said it

[Hook: Shad]
If you fall—ok, you just ball ok
I just want you to know that that’s all ok
If you just rap, ok, only trap, ok
And you sing ok like karaoke say
Ay, ay
Ay, ay
It's ok, ok
