Square

Couldn't watch that movie, it was rated R
Never heard that song, it was gospel in the car
You had them baby J's, I was rockin sandals
You watching Rap City, they done blocked the channel
Everything around me had a Christian theme
Wearing uniforms to school, so just one pair of jeans
Reading comics, playing Sonic wearing glasses
Back before the fashionable frames made of plastic
Turtle power in my turtlenecks
Right
Hip hop music never heard of it
Right
All changed in that 6th grade life
Puff Daddy was the first rapper that I liked
Rocking Nike Cortezes think I'm cool
But them high school years so cruel
Now I wanted ladies, yeah I wanted ladies
Told em told em I was born in the early 80s
Lied about the year tho, how they gon hear tho
I just came to public school bout a year ago
Here go I made it up, confession bro I made it up gave em all these stories and they ate it up
But they ain't know who Taelor was...I ain't know who Taelor was
All these Relationships that I had built wasn't made of trust, knew I had to trade em up...I knew who the Savior was
Just had to let Him see me...He saw I was made of dust

I couldn't look you in the eye, cuz I got my head low
Thought I wasn't living, thought that I was missing out
So this for everybody tryna fit in...it's no wonder you don't fit in (fit in),
now I be like

We ain't squares no more (4x)

If they see something different, you just tell em keep on watching- cuz they're the ones that's missing out


So this started in Columbus, back in June 1984
My daddy my momma had a little baby boy
They said I didn't cry, wish I knew what I was thinking
Wish I knew what it was like for that second when it sink in
That I'm here...
Wish I knew it was rare to have both parents
Most my friends ain't seen a healthy marriage
But all these problems WE create
It's self inflicted damage, so its like I can't relate
I'm naturally skeptical, overthink my solutions
You ain't selling me no dreams, I know it seems like I'm proving you right
When you thinkin I'm self righteous in my music
Me tryna explain just be sounding like some excuses for real
But I be feeling disrespected
Typecasted as sheltered, downplaying my perspective
Like I should apologize for every good thing I've gotten
Shallow end of regrets, cuz I ain't swimming in your drama
And I know it's all grace
But people stay jealous like I throw it in they face
Like I can't just be glad that I ain't have to go through it
But still know that it's real, take your stories and use it
For reference and teach others that they can be different
Tell em to be more than the next Robert Griffin
And he could be cool, but my point is identity
They say you ain't living life till you model the Kennedys
Violence and scandal like some kinda validation
Beef up our stories so they impressed with our salvation
This is for everyone ever called a square
Under pressure to use their testimony to compare
I'm right there--right there with you
Let's be brave enough
Pride is the issue
Lets just focus on the cross...we can't say it ain't enough, we won't say it ain't enough...look to Jesus

Cuz He gave it up, homie look He gave it up...tried to take His life, they tried but He raised it up...this is resurrection, there isn't a greater Love...let's walk in that freedom freedom that He gave to us...
