Fortunate Child?

(Intro)
Some folks are born to be someone,
and well some of us just don't have that special thing.
The glamour, fashion, talk and of course money.
Now, I don't walk around in any sort of masquerade.
One thing I sure do know is, my love and dignity will never fall,
never will these be involved in any cascade.

Never conscripted in doing any type of task.
Adumbrated in the corner of the doubtful class.
I was skittish and self-effacing with a shadow mask.
Exposed I was not, never had the chance to bask.
(Nobody dared to ask)
Who I was, in the dark corner of the school bus.

Some people, are born with a silver spoon in hand.
I was born, not even knowing who I am.
I was just a crestfallen black kid off the block.
Most likely mothered by a drug addict,
addicted to rock.

(A fortunate child)
That was never me.
(I was confused, I was compiled)
Just let me be.
