Sah-bi-dah-bi-doo-ooh (Go Demarcus!) They say I don't sound like a killer Well, how a killer sound? Sweaty back to sheet or ground Whitey wanna see me down Why you wanna see me down? Through the rain, the sleet, the street showers The break of the hours, debris of the towers Survived 9 11, I'll be damned if we don't make it to Heaven Young Mohamed Atta, the way I oughta No plane lessons, got over the election See all I gotta do to get some rest in My bitch was shaped like a crescent The only walls that work are hers I hope you catch that message She used to make me feel protected Then watched her give up on me, like Like I was average, man, that shit was depressing! In this cold, cold world Where I ain't even got Obama, my little mama How I'm supposed to feel? Had it to here, so I know I'm goin' platinum this year If I don't sell, I'ma steal a million copies, I swear If I don't feel inspired, steal a couple verses, don't care Bad news got me energized, so I stand with my guys Running for the C, they thought we was the Central Park 5 And we gon' need the percentage to match how many of y'alls is blind That's 85 for me, 10 for the team the rest for you can slide Why can't we all get what we want? It's an easy deal for me But I know history, how it's meant to be I ain't comin' out with victory 'Cause y'all ain't got no ends for me I've been hurt by you before Like I've felt it, I'm sure But I mean a long time ago, like before I was born Because you're on my mind, and bet I see you every time I look in the mirror On the wall Think of the times I used to pat myself For not being too dark after all Think of you morning, noon, and night When it's too dark after all 'Til suddenly white was warm and brought love in the same form You see how the universe work? Takes my hurt and places the cure in the blue eyes of the storm Now back to myself Where I could've fought it off, never letting on that I couldn't move without holding onto you My alabaster hobby Never letting you know that it was not glamorous To dream of white limbs spread holy ghost over my body Instead, thinkin' White on Brown should be Left to peanut butter on Wonder Bread
(Hit it!) It's all because of you, I'm feeling sad and red!
Wonderin' if the bread can dead all that thinking Make it okay Tell Jay to send a million my way It can be done Like, what's better than one billionaire? (None!) If they knew it was good for they heads They'd put that breesh on buying some new Timbs for my feet 'Cause these dirty shits gon make the meanest Head-bussin' militant out of me And when we hit the goddam C, I know ain't getting no seats Y'all hungry for change and upheave, just step on my feet And the revolution is here You step on these Timbs and the revolution is right—
