Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Head, shoulders...knees and toes
Lips, my eyes, my mouth, my nose
They all go...against what so-ciety calls beautiful
[Verse 2]
I'm left handed in my right mind
I'm pleasantly plump, a phat dime
Black as night in a bright light
As you can see I am beautiful me
[Verse 3]
I was born in the winter
The day after the tenth
And it's hard to deliver
Scorpio energy so intense
Make me wanna holler
Now I know what Marvin meant
The industry's so cold
Give me the things to my ancestor's you owe, so
[Verse 4]
Head, shoulders...knees and toes
Lips, my eyes, my mouth, my nose
They all go...against what so-ciety calls beautiful
[Verse 5]
I'm left handed in my right mind
I'm pleasantly plump, a phat dime
Black as night in a bright light
As you can see I am beautiful me
[Verse 6]
Sad American music
Was built upon my back
R&B, Soul, your Rock-n-Roll
Your Blues, your Ragtime and your Jazz
Yes I herald the Gospel
The Funk, Hip Hop, Techno
And I'll sing forever
In the name of the American Negro
[Verse 7]
I'm not ****, I'm Ne-g-ro
If I become a **** I'll let you know
[Verse 8]
Head, shoulders...knees and toes
Lips, my eyes, my mouth, my nose
They all go...against what so-ciety calls beautiful
[Verse 9]
Head, shoulders...knees and toes
Lips, my eyes, my mouth, my nose
They all go...against what so-ciety calls beautiful
[Verse 10]
Head, shoulders...knees and toes
Lips, my eyes, my mouth, my nose
They all go...against what so-ciety calls beautiful
[Verse 11]
I'm left handed in my right mind
I'm pleasantly plump, a phat dime
Black as night in a bright light
As you can see I am beautiful me
[Verse 12]
I'm not ****, I'm Ne-g-ro
If I become a **** I'll let you know
[Verse 13]
I'm not ****, I'm Ne-g-ro
If I become a **** I'll let you know
[Verse 14]
I'm not ****, I'm Ne-g-ro
If I become a **** I'll let you know
[Verse 15]
I'm not ****, I'm Ne-g-ro
If I become a **** I'll let you know
[Verse 16]
I'm not ****, I'm Ne-g-ro
If I become a **** I'll let you know
[Verse 17]
I'm not ****, I'm Ne-g-ro
If I become a **** I'll let you know
[Verse 18]
I'm not ****, I'm Ne-g-ro
If I become a **** I'll let you know
[Verse 19]
I'm not ****, I'm Ne-g-ro
If I become a **** I'll let you know
[Verse 20]
I'm not ****, I'm Ne-g-ro
If I become a **** I'll let you know
[Verse 21]
I'm not ****, I'm Ne-g-ro
If I become a **** I'll let you know
