I'll never be picture perfect Beyonce
|
Fly like J-Lo or singing Baby like 'Shanti
|
I barely comb my hair, yeah, that's on a good day
|
I don't care what the hood say
|
I ain't street like Keyshia, ain't never tried to be
|
And I got soul in my soul but not quite like Mary
|
Ain't nothing really R&B about me
|
And I say bump what the hood say
|
|
I'm sorry I ain't in the Benzes in my videos
|
I'm sorry I ain't even really trying to match my clothes
|
I can tell you paid a figure for McQueen dibs
|
But I can also tell you who the King dealer is
|
And I got knowledge if you really want to talk about it
|
No, I don't trust the crowd just to walk around it
|
So I'm writing the letter to the industry
|
It says "Fuck you, signed sincerely"
|
|
Aww, yeah
|
Here we go again
|
Solo, can you tone it down? Be more like them
|
But everything I'm not makes me everything I am
|
|
Aww, yeah
|
Ooh, here we go again
|
People talking shit but when the shit hits the fan
|
Everything I'm not makes me everything I am
|
|
I'm not a goody-goody, so I don't watch my mouth like I'm a goody-goody
|
But I appreciate the ones who rooting for me
|
'Cause everybody gon' gone, got an opinion, baby
|
And I been feeling lately like I can't help it
|
Big up haters, if you don't like it, I didn't make it for you ooh, ooh (You ooh, ooh)
|
I'm not apologetic, if you don't like it, it's probably 'cause you don't get it
|
And you can tell the world that you heard I said it
|
And I ain't talking about me, I'm talking 'bout the ones who represent what I believe
|
The fresh kids, the what comes next kids
|
The see you at the art exhibit, oh, hell yes kid
|
The politic kids, the be your thing and declare your independence kids
|
If I'm a vote for something, I'm a go Barack the vote this year
|
I'm talking 'bout the ones who said enough
|
The I got too much I don't give a what in my cup
|
The I don't care what the next man is saying
|
I'm just saying to the industry, this is fuck you, signed sincerely
|
|
Oh, yeah
|
Oh, here we go again
|
People talking shit but I don't give a damn
|
Everything I'm not makes me everything I am
|
|
Ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah
|
Oh, here we go again
|
People talking shit with no pot to piss in
|
But everything I'm not is everything I can
|
|
I can do anything
|
I remember the Doc saying, "What you gon' do? Girl, you 17"
|
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
|
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
|
'Ye ripped on this track, made it into a jam
|
I just borrowed it just to tell you who I am
|
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
|
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
|

Fuck The Industry (Signed Sincerely)
