    KOOL LIKE ME (D.N.A.) (Songs of the Mist-Part 8)

    Drop the funk on 'em

    Who am I
    What do U see
    Am I the man
    U asked me 2 be

    Do a little
    Shuckin 'n Jivin
    With friends when I'm chillin
    Do a little
    Grindin 'n Slidin
    If your body is willing

    I'm a chameleion
    Blend into all types of colors
    But Dee's Nubian Attitude
    Screams Strong Black Brotha

    Brought culture from
    Ethipoia to Islamibad
    From Amazing Grace
    To the Amazing Chase
    On the Amistad

    I'm Frederick Douglass
    And Carter G.
    W.E.B.
    And Booker T

    I'm Thurgood Marshall
    And Adam Clayton Powell
    Malcolm, Medgar and Martin
    Please don't forget the vowel

    EYE AM
    The Evolution
    2
    A Revolution
    From
    Exclusion
    2 an
    Infusion
    Of reality
    No equality
    Can't no European man be
    Kool like me

    Who am I
    What did you expect
    I'm talkin S--T
    And cashin checks

    I created Jazz
    In New Orleans
    You called me an Outkast
    But I stayed So Fresh, So Clean

    Take your statistics
    Run them up a pole
    Force you 2 salute
    My soul in the hole

    Always tryin
    2 pimp my stroll
    But when ya lady say she love me
    Your bigotry is outta control

    Chilled with Jesus
    In Mesopotamia
    Cracked the Liberty Bell
    In Pennsylvania

    Separate but Equal
    You tried 2 represent
    How does my Black A-S taste
    Now I'm president

    EYE AM
    The Evolution
    2
    A Revolution
    From
    Exclusion
    2 an
    Infusion
    Of reality
    No Equality
    Can't no European man be
    Kool like me

    I'm a Native Son
    A Manchild in the Promised Land
    I'm the Son of Ham
    Not the Son of Uncle Sam

    I gave you more
    And received much less
    Despite your B-LL S--T
    I'm still the best

    I walked with Jesus
    Helped him carry the cross
    In the human race
    I won, you lost

    I'm Robeson, Rollins, Robinson
    And Redd
    Rockafella, rap music,
    2Pac, Scott LaRock, Biggie
    God rest the dead

    I'm a single father
    Raising Mini Me
    Sugar Ray and Muhammad Ali
    Testifying before Congress
    This is who I be

    I'm Badd 2 the Bone
    Never been cloned
    My mamma san
    Akebulan
    Is my Native home

    EYE AM
    The Evolution
    2
    A Revolution
    From exclusion
    2 an
    Infusion
    Of reality
    No equality
    Can't no European man be
    So kool
    So BLACK LIKE ME

    How ya like me now?!?

    Haha...haha..haha..let it fade
