You can imagine how I felt when I heard the news
|
They said I can't rap and sing but I had to choose WHAT??
|
I just looked at 'em and started laughin'
|
I don't think you understand just call me Bo Jackson
|
If Deion could play two sports at the same time
|
I'm pretty sure that I can sing and can rhyme
|
I'm quite confident in my competence
|
I'm not too concerned with your compliments
|
If I gotta work twice as hard then so be it
|
But I'm gonna make this happen whether you believe it or not
|
These jokers can't even see what I got
|
The type of killer combo that will make you breathe and stop
|
Still critics wanna doubt my skill
|
Stare me down sizin' me up like a value meal
|
I'm tested and approved dog, value's real
|
And still I save my best moves like Zoolander saved blue steel
|
So tired of trying to please everyone, a million different opinions
|
I'm just going to be myself whether they like it or not, I'm giving it all that I got
|
They said keep on doin' what you do B
|
And maybe one day you'll end up in the movies
|
Maybe I can play Shaggy in Scooby Doo 3 and co-star with Angelina Julie
|
Oops I meant Jolie okee-dokee
|
I didn't come just to mess around and make jokes see
|
I got a mission an agenda and an antidote peep
|
A contradiction to the message of Oprah Winfrey
|
Oops, did I just say that out loud? Well there you go now it's out
|
I won't be in her magazine or on her t.v. show now
|
But I refused to be duped into believin'
|
The truth is whatever you choose to believe in
|
Oh boy here come the protesters
|
Get out your helmets and your bullet proof vests 'cause
|
They're comin' for you if you rock the boat
|
But I'm gonna go against the flow of the status quo 'cause I'm
|
You can't put me in a box or put me in a genre
|
I'm gonna work it out like my name was Jane Fonda
|
I came from the same city as Jeffrey Dahmer
|
That don't make me crazy you can ask my momma
|
She raised me to behave and not to 'cause drama
|
Sorry for this one I had to let 'em have it
|
The flow's still automatic I told you I'm back at oh
|
Just call me O.J. I had to take a stab at it
|
Woa! There's some tongue in cheek
|
Want beats here you go I make one a week
|
Put some hot sauce on the top be careful they're spicy
|
Plus I'm nice with the mic see they like it like Mikey
|
More flavorful than Hi-C cooler than Icees
|
Was born two weeks early or I would have been a Pisces
|
Couldn't have been said more precisely
|
Better book me now before I get to pricey
|
I know you are entitled to your own opinion
|
But that don't mean that you now how to run my business
|
See I'm a work in progress that is still not finished, I¡¯m still not finished
