Black James Dean

Listen up, let me tell you something

You can call me Black James Dean
I'm a well-oiled machine
Rebel with a cause since '93
Like ooh, I got the juice
Pulled up in sliding yeah, I got the moves
Call me Black James Dean
I'm a well-oiled machine
Look in the mirror and smile yeah, 'cause this could be you
Uh, just do what you do, baby, ah

Black leather, black denim, wearing all black
Afro to the sky, tell the sun that melody
Been a long time coming
Ten years still running, yeah
I know where I've been
I ain't going back
Looking over my shoulder, yeah
I stopped that melanin
DNA got me shining
ATL, yeah, we're climbing

You know what it is
Everyone's got that something
Stop playing games
Better pick up the pace

You can call me Black James Dean
I'm a well-oiled machine
Rebel with a cause since '93
Like ooh, I got the juice
Pulled up in sliding yeah, I got the moves
Call me Black James Dean
I'm a well-oiled machine
Look in the mirror and smile yeah, 'cause this could be you
Uh, just do what you do, baby, ah

When I walk in the room
Don't get confused
Why?
'Cause you're looking at the future
Snap, snap
Uh, hit the pose for the pap, pap

You know what it is
Everyone's got that something
Stop playing games
Better pick up the pace

You can call me Black James Dean
I'm a well-oiled machine
Rebel with a cause since '93
Like ooh, I got the juice
Pulled up in sliding yeah, I got the moves
Call me Black James Dean
I'm a well-oiled machine
Look in the mirror and smile yeah, 'cause this could be you
Uh, just do what you do, baby

If you're five, 18 or 85 (just know you live)
If you're freelancing or 9-to-5 (uh, stay hype)
Oh, trust me you ain't missed your time (oh no)
Put your foot on the gas and get ready to go (hey, hey, hey)

You can call me Black James Dean
I'm a well-oiled machine
Rebel with a cause since '93
Like ooh, I got the juice
Pulled up in sliding yeah, I got the moves
Call me Black James Dean
I'm a well-oiled machine
Look in the mirror and smile yeah, 'cause this could be you
Ooh, just do what you do, baby, ah
