DAMN
That shit was funky✦ (Ohh)
You heard that nigga?✦
DAMN
Shawty✦ Lo
(Yup, c'mon)
[Verse Two: Cee-Lo]
Well, I can offer✦ an extension,✦ or compare✦ comprehension✦
I'm in a classroom of my own, I'm too far gone for competition✦
Yet I'm never✦ obnoxious✦ with my obvious✦ ambition✦
Perfectly imperfect is my dimension's✦ definition✦
I engage,✦ my pen pierces the page, so that it bleeds my intention✦
With honorable✦ mention✦ of God's divine✦ intervention✦
I'm incredible,✦ I'm inevitable,✦ and there's✦ no possible✦ prevention✦
I'll hardly✦ (have to) scream my dream and I'll have your undivided✦ attention✦
The powers that be will be beaten✦ into✦ submission✦
And you will be able to see my revolution✦ on television✦
You'll get an aneurysm fuckin'✦ around with my head-on✦ collision✦
With the power✦ to get you dead and have the dead risen✦
I remember when my development was arrested✦
I was doin' time on my mind, misguided✦ and misdirected✦
I was sick – so sick, if I spoke to you, you'd be infected✦
Then my conscience✦ was cleared of all charges and I came out corrected✦
Reinvented, refined, replenished, and well rested✦
On a mission✦ for a medium to manifest the thoughts I collected✦
After✦ that, everything I breathed upon,✦ I blessed it
I committed crimes✦ of passion✦ and my soul was suspected✦
But it was thrown out of court
Because of course the Creator and I connected✦
He told me, "Fear not, for thou art protected.✦ Your life is being requested✦
And you are being tested,✦ so make every✦ attempt you can to expect✦ the unexpected."✦
[Hook]
Mm mm mm
Boy, that 'Lo, boy
DAMN
Oh Lawd
Cee-Lo,✦ why you do it like that?
You ain't have to bustin'✦ all like that, man
Makin'✦ these niggas feel like they can't rap
DAMN
I got some more, I got some more if you want some...
[Verse Three: Cee-Lo]
I am internally✦ evolving entirely
Extensive✦ eclectic expression✦ eloquently✦
Instantly innovative,✦ courageously creative✦
I'm driven,✦ this God given✦ gift – it comes✦ naturally✦ to the native✦
Not a need for the dramatics✦ or the systematic
Simplicities, strictly science and mathematics✦
The mastermind of the mighty✦ mystical✦ and magical✦
Moves✦ and metaphors manifests masterpieces
Thoroughly fury✦ through the inner✦ mind's eye establishes this thesis
Of these innermost, insightful intriguing interpretations✦ of extreme intelligence✦
My common✦ sense is no co-incidence✦
Caution:✦ competitors approach carefully
I'm able to see
Rare ranges✦ of distance,✦ I expect✦ respect
There's✦ no tolerance✦ for negligence,✦ never✦
You'll forever
Feel the wrath of the pure and powerful poetry,✦ permanently✦
Pre-meditative,✦ political,✦ critical,✦ compelling,✦ storytelling✦
Defining desire,✦ faith fuelin'✦ the fire
Brilliance,✦ pro-Blackness, philosophical,✦ psychological✦
Willingly waging✦ warfare✦ withstanding✦
Commanding,✦ demanding✦ the listening ears to hear without forcing
Instead, endorsing education✦ – equality, not hate
Just revolution✦ of the mind state
Not mere words, but emotions✦ – which is essential✦
Influential,✦ proving my people's potential✦
Militancy, innocence,✦ insight – listen✦ to God, then write
Since my birth date I been tight!
Shit
[Hook]
[Outro]
Now I don't want never✦ hear nobody✦ else say
"Goddamn a nigga✦ from the South can't rhyme"
NEVER!✦
DAMN
Hehehe...✦ Now can I do my shit??
