I'M DOPE

Ohh
(Miss Badu told me I'm)

Most these sheeple move like clones
That's why I be on my own
My mama 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 nothing else
That's why every beat I'm on is water and I'm Michael Phelps
Told my partner, "Get your bread up, but that dope don't equal wealth"
But you can't help all yo partners, unless you done helped yourself

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 moved with the white
This ain't blindside, ouu
Finite, but you feel the spirit
Whole flow shine like, soul glow
Every lyric (Soul glow)
Skin cocoa, so most popo fear it
Nine like Rondo on my clothes
When I pivot, ouu

Most these sheeple move like clones (Move like clones)
That's why I be on my own (I be on my own)
My mama thought I was a joke (She thought I was a joke)
But Dave Chapelle told me, I'm dope
Yeah, I'm dope
Yeah, yeah, I'm dope
Dave Chapelle told me I'm-

And I know it, you can't tell me nothing else
That's why every beat I'm on is water and I'm Michael Phelps
Me and my dogs eat like kings, but we be working just like slaves
I done made it outta my hood, I deserve some accolades

'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
Spend-in
Time and place, it ain't safe to swim in
Without yellin', I try to tell em'
They should make amends
With God

Where you from, where I'm from
You see, so much pain (So much pain)
But the kid do it big, now they know my name (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 Chapelle
Show a young playa love (Show a young playa love)
