SATs by Malik Elarbi Lyrics
SATs
[Verse 1]
Now I got my mind right
Thinking that the time right
We all got issues
I kinda do miss you but
Throughout this process I have found my healing
I found it's ok for me to have feelings
I wake up and whiten my teeth vicious cycle
As all of these hipsters me make me go recycle
Through my thoughts - through my thoughts and my plans
I found out my supplies in demand
Every Monday and Thursday I find myself starving
My five hundred sixty three square foot apartment
I whip out the pillows and bed sheets on weekends
My futons make AirBNB for my three friends
We Venmo and buy all the food on our wish list
I'm not supposed to be here based on pure statistics
[Chorus 1]
I messed up on my SATs
Tell me what that say about me
I think I scored like a 17 something
Traded it all in for a 3200
Got 3200 on my Nikon
Wonder what they gonna say when I'm gone
Messed up on the SATs
[Verse 2]
I remember in the 9th grade through 12th grade of high school
I was leading all the masses of classmates at my school
And ever since then I’ve never been into the politics
But it's kinda hard when your president keeps talking shit honestly
It’s kinda tough when half the population
Come to conclude that you should leave the nation
Swear that your people are cause for alarm
And that you do no good only harm
I remember when my mom
Yeah she called up my phone and
Told me she was scared she's alone
There were eggs on our home and a sign with the changes
From ignorant people I guess who were brainless
I cannot hate them, I will stay loving
Put all my faith in the one up above and
From standardized test scores to color of skin tone
I stand by our freedom my forefathers did so
[Chorus 2]
I messed up on my SATs
Tell me what that say about me
I think I scored like a 17 something
Traded it all in for a 3200
Got 3200 on my Nikon
Wonder what they gonna say when I'm gone
Messed up on the SATs
[Verse 3]
(Rant)
[Chorus 3]
I messed up on my SATs
Tell me what that say about me
I think I scored like a 17 something
Traded it all in for a 3200
Got 3200 on my Nikon
Wonder what they gonna say when I'm gone
Messed up on the SATs
[Verse 1]
Now I got my mind right
Thinking that the time right
