Introduction
A. C. T Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everything I am I done shaped up in this rap
Graduated with my pad and pen when the beat rock
Born from simplicity, my thoughts causing big shock
Mastered the art, I’m the flow’s modern Steve Jobs
Unearthing my ether, these bars hot I deliver
Sipping through your mind and my rhymes y’all could shiver
I rep the block, set the bar y’all could quiver
I’m the type of cat with the bars jabbing crazy
Flow so gravy that your momma tried to birth me
Rapping from the block and your block gotta pay me
I’m hotter on the block and your block needs an AC
I put sacrifice on my life when I emcee
Gotta work a nine to five, a seven-thirty-one
Pillow talk with my thoughts when they say I’m the one!
I’m chasing for a dollar and my season just begun
The illest emcee and I rise upon the Sun

Is this video available with human-verified captions?
@mka515
I needed to know about this because I have social anxiety disorder and depression but my place doesn’t care about my disability they think I am faking it and my manager always mocks my disability what shall I do?
@valerielambert7922
I fully sympathise because social anxiety disorder can actually cause you to be unable to speak up or even to hold a conversation because of the overwhelming anxiety. People who suffer with this may go bright red or stutter in 'normal' situations. People who fully understand phobias such as a fear of heights or public speaking, most often do not understand social anxiety disorder and those suffering from it are seen as odd. It is a torture. If you have been diagnosed by your GP, make sure that this diagnosis is recorded in written form and submitted to HR or management at your workplace. Consult the anti bullying policy in your workplace, get advice from your union representative if you have one, and keep a diary, recording every instance that belittles you or makes you feel uncomfortable in your workplace. You may be able to get more advice from specific helplines or citizens advice. I'm just throwing out some ideas. Good luck with improving your situation.
@Nobody-hk1kz
Yup like my NHS boss who slashed my all day time extra work after occupation health report stating Its advertised I cant work nights Thats not a discrimination if you punish someone
@frankbauer1397
Nightclubs are "public services!?
@soranasanduu
Yeah, they’re public services that the public can use. They’re not protective services such a police etc, that’s different.
@RealQuarlie
Every service you can enter publicly is a public service....... that's Literally in the name
@robinpopps189
Wait so you are saying that banning the afro hairstyle is racist?
@maxwkh
Why is class not a protected characteristic? Working class people are regularly discriminated against
@c0d3w4rri0r
This video really should mention discrimination arising from disability explicitly. I know it’s a complex law but it’s so important for disabled people who are constantly fighting against the altitude ‘we’re not discriminating against you if we’re treating you the same.’
It’s supper important especially for individuals with hidden disabilities like autism who might, for example, get banned from a shop for having a meltdown.
There just isn’t enough awareness that this sort of thing is discrimination and it seems to me you just missed an opportunity to help fix that.
