Famous And Dandy (Like Amos 'N' Andy) - The Disposable Heroes Of Hiphoprisy[00:00:00]
What will we do to become famous and dandy[00:00:47]
Just like Amos and Andy[00:00:50]
What will we do to become famous and dandy[00:00:52]
Just like Amos and Andy[00:00:56]
It's quite a spectacle to see us land[00:00:57]
In waste receptacles as if we've planned it[00:00:59]
We're never skeptical when we get branded[00:01:02]
Then disrespectful 'cause we feel abandoned[00:01:04]
The height of mediocrity is the challenge[00:01:07]
Crawling through the entrails of imbalance[00:01:10]
We learn to like to be the heroes[00:01:13]
We learn to lie to the brand name Negroes[00:01:15]
We learn to laugh to avoid being angry[00:01:18]
We learn to kill and learn to go hungry[00:01:20]
We learn not to feel for protection[00:01:23]
And we learn to flaunt when we get an erection[00:01:25]
What will we do to become famous and dandy[00:01:27]
Just like Amos and Andy[00:01:31]
What will we do to become famous and dandy[00:01:33]
Just like Amos and Andy[00:01:37]
We're born believing we're greater than circumstance[00:01:49]
Infinitely stronger than chance as our first breath is handed[00:01:52]
We taste the double standard the need to wear the mask[00:01:55]
And with society's nurturing the psychic plastic surgery[00:01:59]
Begins to take effect as our souls watch astound[00:02:03]
Our characters flounder duplicitous identity[00:02:05]
Diction and contradiction have become the skills of assimilation[00:02:09]
Razor honed to perfection from the moment of creation[00:02:14]
It's gone from identity crisis to survival slingshot to rifle[00:02:19]
Sin to revival try to get looked at but not poked in the eyeball[00:02:23]
Warned of our impurities afraid of insecurities[00:02:30]
Real life experts of the artificial athletes and entertainers[00:02:33]
Have become the minstrels on commercials[00:02:37]
What will we do to become famous and dandy[00:02:40]
Just like Amos and Andy[00:02:44]
What will we do to become famous and dandy[00:02:45]
Just like Amos and Andy[00:02:48]
On screen or off we can be rented to perform any feat[00:03:16]
And we reflect the images presented by the media's elite[00:03:21]
Positive or negative attention is viewed as success[00:03:27]
U S D A African American Beef is seen as progress[00:03:32]
We never ask ourselves too many questions[00:03:42]
Too much truth in introspection[00:03:45]
Maintain the regimentation and avoid self-degradation[00:03:47]
We act out all the stereo types try to use them as decoy[00:03:52]
And we become shining examples[00:03:57]
Of the system we set out to destroy[00:04:00]
'Cause even in the most radical groups you will find[00:04:03]
That when you stray from the doctrine you'll see hard times[00:04:08]
What will we do to become famous and dandy[00:04:13]
Just like Amos and Andy[00:04:16]
What will we do to become famous and dandy[00:04:18]
Just like Amos and Andy[00:04:21]
Being kicked in the mouth or smiling with no teeth[00:04:23]
They're both choices yes but it's impossible to eat[00:04:28]
Uneducated underdeveloped undisciplined but mostly unaware[00:04:33]
We join the flavor of the month club[00:04:39]
We swallow the flavor of the month[00:04:41]
Well holding our crotch was the flavor of the month[00:04:44]
B**ch this b**ch that was the flavor of the month[00:04:47]
Being a thug was the flavor of the month[00:04:49]
Then no to drugs was the flavor of the month[00:04:52]
Kangol was the flavor of the month[00:04:54]
Rope gold was the flavor of the month[00:04:57]
Adidas shoes was the flavor of the month[00:04:59]
Then bashing Jews was the flavor of the month[00:05:02]
Gentrification was the flavor of the month[00:05:04]
Isolation was the flavor of the month[00:05:07]
My pockets are so empty I can feel my testicles[00:05:10]
'Cause I spent all my money on some plastic African necklaces[00:05:12]
And I still don't know what the colors mean[00:05:16]
Red black and green[00:05:18]
What will we do to become famous and dandy[00:05:20]
Just like Amos and Andy[00:05:23]
What will we do to become famous and dandy[00:05:25]
Just like Amos and Andy[00:05:28]
What will we do to become famous and dandy[00:05:30]
Just like Amos and Andy[00:05:34]
What will we do to become famous and dandy[00:05:35]
Just like Amos and Andy[00:05:39]
