average joe

the hardest thing for me to do

is to get you

to know me

within sixteen bars

that's the hardest thing

who is k. dot? a young nigga from compton

on the curb writing raps next to a gun shot

on the corners where the gangsters and the killers dwell

the fraudulent tender scars that get unveiled

everyone i knew was either crip or piru

cousins in elementary

relatives in high school

with that being said

each one of their rivals

was aiming something at my head

i needed survival

got jumped

got jacked

shot at

shot back

and i don't even push a line

i'm just tryna push these rhymes

in the midst of staying neutral and discrete

my momma said you're judged by the company you keep

but what you can consider

that if it goes down

they'll kill you if you kill me

it gets deep nigga

so if you ask what i'm doing

i'm tryna duck the influence of my city that's blue-and

real talk

and

this is why they fuck with me

this is why they fuck with me

i'm no gangster

no killer

i'm just your average joe

but one thing you should consider

i'm the realest you know

i was walking from centennial

when an unidentified vehicle rolled up

and i was like hold up

where you from? how-bang"
