Special Education |
They call him Gipp Zagga |
It’s the mutant, mister get down |
Live wire, words poke you like barbwire |
Maroon Range, sugar cane, oil stains |
My right leg longer than my left foot |
Put stripes next to squares, still peel the circle |
See spirits off of people, I don’t see color |
I’m a special mind, yeah, a special kind |
Conceived in the South at a special time |
Covered in leaves of gold |
Scripture written in scrolls |
Spoken so clearly in tongues |
So my children would come |
Look around |
Can’t you see |
The industry: they look like me |
I don’t wear the clothes you wear |
I’m just different and I don’t care |
It’s kind of sad and it’s a shame |
Everyone wants to be the same |
If you are listening here and now |
I’m sure I can show you how |
It’s okay to be afraid |
Don’t you want to be special |
I’m so special, boy |
Tried to went stupid, dumb |
I eat nuclear waste and spit atomic bombs |
Plutonium explodes, that’s my trademark |
Mushroom clouds inside, call 'em brain farts |
Gamma rays torch my system, now I’m going green |
G-force in my veins, pump hydrazine |
KT, 13, a microphone beam |
Cosmic juggernaut, extraterrestrial being |
Reign supreme, once conceived, boy, they broke the mold |
All this glory-seeking is getting totally outta control |
No one’s original, Attack of the Clones |
Invasion of the swagger-snatchers |
Aim for the dome |
Scientists stood around in silence as I was being born |
Was I quote, unquote «special» or was there something wrong |
My skin was black, my heart was gold, and my tongue was silver |
And the fact that I could talk already, that was a thriller |
And I fear what I don’t understand, so let me warn you |
Especially when nigga make too much noise about being normal |
Unusual but beautiful, the bondin' blessing |
Summa Cum Laude, School of Exceptional Youth |
X-Men |
Let me put something poetic into plain English |
I’d rather die than to not be distinguished |
The outsiders have no desires to be equal |
When V.I.P. |
stands for «Very Insecure People» |
Heavyweight in the game, T tip the scale |
I travel over the world back to ATL |
I’m friends with the mayor, I’m a truthsayer |
A crusader, a natural-born raider |
I need a deejayer to be the illustrator |
Let’s get the dollar signs |
I said my Gucci rhymes |
I think it’s tea time |
Don’t need a co-sign |
T-Mo is on the grind, he about to let it shine |
Off in the skyline, don’t worry 'bout mine |
I can handle lies and watching third eyes |
I make 'em go blind, I don’t just rap to rhyme |
