a mediocre-ass nigga is plain and simple a body of work about me—
It's about who I am through my own eyes.
It's about how I'm perceived because of the color of my skin.
It's about my beautifully Black, Southern, Nigerian-American family.
It's about my depression.
It's about microaggressions, and stereotypes,
and niggas getting shot for no reason.
It's about missing my grandma and my granddad.
It's about the n-word.
It's about skittles, black hoodies, toy guns, cigarettes, dollar bills, type-C hair, cell phones, dark complexions, and other various weapons.
It's about memories.
It's about Goodlettsville, Tennessee.
It's about what I see in the mirror,
and how my black body copes with the realities of this world.
