In & Out

This is for those that’s given doubt
Yo, I’ve been about silencing critics
Dig it, I’ma be in and out
I’ma show them how to throw down
I’ma be in and I’ma be out
I was in and out of work when I met my influence
He was outstanding when playing an instrument
An Indian dude, very outspoken
Had a lot of input, his outlook was kosher
An outsider, cats called him Bahmen from the hood
Knew he ain’t have no income
You could tell from his outfit he was in debt
But his interest wasn’t outlandish Baggett’s
He wasn’t incapable of getting a job yet
He said he was using poverty for an outlet
I was inclined to ask with hopes he’d outpour
More insight for just sleeping outdoors
Dude told me he had so much pride
When he played his instrument he tried to outshine
His instructor and became a outcast
They insisted this kid go out and
Take his ingenious out in the open
So next time he won’t be so outspoken
I was intrigued, outraged and I was open
This individual was an outlaw and hopeless
Inconceivable skill, outright great
But the pride he had inside far outweighed
For this reason, he was cast outside
Now that’s what you get when you end docile
The moral is don’t let pride in your house
Be about bringing truth in and I’m out
