Rick James

Never mind who you thought I was
I'm Rick James, bitch
Beat Billionaire

Uh, we're a family, which means we're connected through blood
It's funny how we assume we're connected through love
Yes, you're a relative, but isn't love relative?
Nothing's absolute in the presence of a dispute
Oh, you kin, so I should trust you
Thought he was touched by an angel, so she was touched by an uncle
So how's the weather outside? Partly cloudy, but there's the sun
I'm a little messed up, but he's cute, so there's the one
I'm not an actor, but I'll act happy
And maybe he'll wanna get married
Life's a drag and he looks strong, so I'm tryna get carried
They say it's all about the journey,
love your struggles, you'll be blessed
I'd rather eat and fall asleep and somehow wake up with success
I never understood why all a baby does is cry
Until my spirit found earth and experienced physical hurt
Okay, is it my fault? I thought we get smarter as adults?
The only change is the blame, now everything is my fault?
Monkey bars used to be fun, now my fingers hurt
Driving used to be fun, now I'm stuck in traffic
We all wanted to be Barbies, now everybody's plastic
Uncle was the only one drunk, now everybody's blasted
Revelation has revealed that that D.A.R.E. program failed
And gettin' no profit makes you ask, what's the point of college?
The economy sucks, but we get a Masters in Economics
Why don't this professor fix the economy? Where's the logic?
I think I wanna study the anatomy
Just so I can understand the physical reason why
When my man is wrong his response is to get mad at me
I think he knows sometimes I really like his anger
I hate that I only feel safe with a man who survived danger
Relationships are stressful
Especially if being alone forced you to settle
With a person who's not special
I witnessed so many things
That made me re-evaluate all the names of people that I called insane
Like

Rick James, the world is Rick James
Everybody's in the zone but all alone
I never thought one day we would all be grown
Just so we can go crazy for camera phones (I'm Rick James, bitch)
I'm Rick James, the world is Rick James
Everybody's in the zone but all alone
I never thought one day we would all be grown
Just so we could go crazy for camera phones

And I really want a reason to rock with you
And I really want a reason to rock with you
And I really want a reason to rock with you, uh, uh, oh
And I really want a reason to rock with you
And I really want a reason to rock with you
And I really want a reason to rock with you, uh, uh, oh

Rick James, the world is Rick James
Everybody's in the zone but all alone
I never thought one day we would all be grown
Just so we can go crazy for camera phones
I'm Rick James, the world is Rick James
Everybody's in the zone but all alone
I never thought one day we would all be grown
Just so we could go crazy for camera phones

And I really want a reason to rock with you
And I really want a reason to rock with you (I never thought one day)
And I really want a reason to rock with you, uh, uh, oh
And I really want a reason to rock with you (I'm Rick James, bitch)
And I really want a reason to rock with you
And I really want a reason to rock with
you, uh, uh, oh (I'm Rick James, bitch)

And for that girl backstage
Make it publicly clear
Never mind who you thought I was
I'm Rick James, bitch
