[CeeLo Green]

Well, alright...

I stood and fought
Then I taught myself to talk
I changed my clothes
But I kept my n***a nose
I sang and danced
And make sure you have a chance
Come on

Yeah!
After all I done...
You know what?!
I'm still the n***a!
Yeah...

Ooh...
I walked the line
And the cameras caughted the crime
I broke the rules
With a pair of dancing shoes
Commited blasphemy
And even let you laugh at me
Oh come on!
Yessir!
After all I’ve done
Behind me...
Still the n***a

Uh-uh, yeah

Now my name in description
Is 'stranger than fiction'
I profane with conviction
When I explain it’s a prism
So I'm aiming to kill 'em
From this range I can't miss 'em
They're detaining for dealing
And arraigning for killing
But I'm sane in the prison
And I'm blaiming the system
Proclaiming the mission
And I’m changing position

While my brain’s in remission
My chain seem to glisten
And my pain seems to strengthen
With the danger we live in
When they bang, Lord, forgive 'em
Now the gang is religion
And my fame is appealing
But my lane is indifferent
And I’m famous for feeling
My brand-name is a building
Pop music is pornography
They're game is for children

I'm the same if you listen
You can change, if you listen
These n***as are just to cool!
They're ashamed of the rythm

My flame is a vision
Just plain criticisim
With pain and affection
What they say is unconvincing

You see, I hate n***a shit
Unless it’s great n***a shit
You would sit in here for hours
And debate n***a shit
Expendable and ignorant
Is what they equate n***as with
'Yeah, this shit sound good'
But is making n***a sick
And is it making n***as rich?
Or making n***as' n***a rich?
You used to be my n***a queen
Now even you a n***a bitch
