| Most these sheeple move like clones
|
| That’s why I be on my own
|
| My mama thought I was a joke
|
| But Miss Badu told me I’m dope
|
| Yeah, I’m dope
|
| Yeah, yeah, I’m dope
|
| Miss Badu told me I’m
|
| And I know it
|
| You can’t tell me nothing else
|
| That’s why every beat I’m on is water and I’m Michael Phelps
|
| Told my partnas «get yo bread up, but that dope don’t equal wealth»
|
| But you can’t help all yo partnas, unless you done helped yourself
|
| So I need more than kudos and a high-five
|
| 'Cause I went from sidelines to the limelight
|
| And I shine bright, ice cold, bars Klondike
|
| And I never moved with the white
|
| This ain’t blindside (ouu)
|
| Finite, but you feel the spirit
|
| Whole flow shine like, soul glow
|
| Every lyric (soul glow)
|
| Skin cocoa so most popo fear it
|
| Nine like Rondo on my clothes
|
| When I pivot
|
| Ouu
|
| Most these sheeple move like clones (move like clones)
|
| That’s why I be on my own (I be on my own)
|
| My mama thought I was a joke (she thought I was a joke)
|
| But Dave Chapelle told me, I’m dope
|
| Yeah, I’m dope
|
| Yeah, yeah, I’m dope
|
| Dave Chapelle told me I’m
|
| And I know it, you can’t tell me nothing else
|
| That’s why every beat I’m on is water and I’m Michael Phelps
|
| Me and my dogs eat like kings, but we be working just like slaves
|
| I done made it outta my hood, I deserve some accolades
|
| 'Cause I maneuver through the doo-doo like a
|
| Bottle of Metamucil in a body that’s used to being constipated
|
| And most consumers, they view me as a ruler like Mansa Musa
|
| 'Cause I stay with some jewels that can exonerate 'em
|
| From every ounce of troubled water they been in
|
| Spend-in
|
| Time and place it ain’t safe to swim in
|
| Without yellin' I try to tell em'
|
| They should make amends
|
| With God
|
| Where you from, where I’m from
|
| You see, so much pain (so much pain)
|
| But the kid do it big, now they know my name (know my name)
|
| I done got it out the mud (aye)
|
| And put on for my day ones
|
| That’s why Miss Badu and Dave Chapelle
|
| Show a young playa love (show a young playa love) |
