my iq
when i was 4 years old they
tried to test my iq
they showed me this picture
of 3 oranges and a pear
they asked me which one
is different and does not belong
they taught me different
is wrong
but when i was 13 years old
i woke up one morning
thighs covered in blood
like a war like a warning
that i live in a breakable
takable body
an ever-increasingly valuable
body
that a woman had come
in the night
to replace me
deface me see...
my body is borrowed
yeah, i got in on a loan
for the time inbetween
my mom and some maggots
i dont need anyone to hold me
i hold my own
i got highways for stretchmarks
see
where i've grown
i sing sometimes
like my life is at
stake
cuz yr only as loud
as the noises you make
i'm learning to laugh
as loud as i can listen
cuz silence is violence
in women and poor people
if more people were screaming
then i could relax
but a good brain ain't diddly
if you dont have the facts
we live in a breakable takable
world
an ever available possible world
and we can make
music
and we can make do
genious is in a back
seat
backseat to nothing
if yr dancing
especially
something
stupid like
IQ
for every lie i unlearn
i learn something new
i sing sometimes for
the war that i fight
cuz every tool is a
weapon
if you hold it
right
