Interlude - Sage

This is the story of the 21

Above average

But still I’m average to everyone

That I know

No higher status here

Just another stratosphere

But why am I on land

In my own land

Since 03 we been

Competing

And I’ve been beaten senselessly

Repeatedly

Every MEAP

Every weak

Test score that I’ve gotten

I’ve gotten weaker

By comparison

I’m stronger myself

More A’s on the shelf

But like Krillin

I keep getting killed and I can’t

Go on like this anymore

Yall stress less

And I’m restless

If you get the message

I’ve almost given up

And given in to the music anyways

So why worry about my grades

I’m fading to grey

Fading away

Like Dirk with the jump shot

Pump fake

Cut to the rim

With the in and out

Because what’s the point of shooting

If it’s bouncing back out
