Lyrics

Oh-oh
Miss Badu told me I'm
Most these sheeple move like clones
That's why I be on my own
My momma thought I was a joke
But Miss Badu told me I'm dope
Yeah I'm dope
Yeah, yeah, I'm dope
Miss Badu told me I'm
And I know it
You can't tell me nothin' else
(Nothin')
That's why every beat I'm on is water
And I'm Michael Phelps
(Splash)
Told my partners get yo' bread up
But that dough don't equal wealth
(Guala)
But you can't help all yo' partners
Unless you done helped yourself, ooh
(Ya, ya, ya)
So I need more than kudos and a high five
'Cause I went from sidelines to the limelight
And I shine bright
Ice cold, bars Klondike
And I never move with the white
This ain't Blindside, ooh
Finite, but you feel the spirit
Whole flow shine like Soul Glo, every lyric
(Just let your soul glow)
Skin cocoa, so most po-po fear it
Nine like Rondo on my clothes
When I pivot, ooh
Most these sheeple move like clones
(Move like clones)
That's why I be on my own
(I be on my own)
My momma thought I was a joke
(She thought I was a joke)
But Dave Chappelle told me I'm dope
Yeah I'm dope
Yeah, yeah, I'm dope
Dave Chappelle told me I'm
And I know it
You can't tell me nothin' else
(Oh-oh)
That's why every beat I'm on is water
And I'm Michael Phelps
(Oh-oh)
Me and my dogs eat like kings but
We be workin' just like slaves
(Slaves)
I done made it outta my hood
I deserve some accolades, ooh
(Oh, oh, oh-oh, ooh)
'Cause I maneuver through the doo-doo
Like a bottle of Metamucil
In a body that's used to being constipated
And most consumers they view me as a ruler
Like Mansa Musa
'Cause I stay with some jewels
That can exonerate 'em
From every ounce of troubled water
They been in, spendin'
Time in places it ain't safe to swim in
Without yellin' I try to tell 'em
They should make amends
(Oh-oh)
With God
When you're from, where I'm from
You see so much pain
(So much pain)
But the kid do it big
Now they know my name
(They know my name)
I done got it out the mud
(Aye)
And put on for my day ones
That's why Miss Badu and Dave Chappelle
Show a young playa love
(Show a young playa love)
