Bein' exotic, my genes is robotic
They bought us like slaves and uh, sold us like product
I bought a factory, pickin' the cotton
Bought a factory, sent 'em to college
He made it already with nothin' to lose
And free attitude with nothin' to prove
We goin' crazy, I got the juice
Playin' them dead to get out the noose

Oh, I hope I never fall weary
Help me levitate my pain (Ooh)

Let me outlast the shame (Ooh)
At the same time, don't change a thing, a thing
