Damn Lyrics

311

Word up, Im talking to you
Im making dope rhymes, thats what I do
Like a mad man, you know its bad man
I slam a good goddamn
Well Ive been burned so goddamn badly
I could just sit and sing the blues
But instead Ill make a fist, yeah
And make my own good news
Take my advice, yeah
Youll pay the price
Make it funky like this...
Good god.....damn
I drop a syllable like yo
What else is dissin me
Huh, its pissin me off
Rock me baby, what!?
You dont mean that crap
But what the hell, if it sells
Damn, youre a sham
No thank you maam, bitch!!
Oh, Ive been burnt badly
I could just sit and sing the blues
But instead Ill make a fist, yeah
And make my own good news
Take my advice
Youll pay the price
Make it funky like this!!!
Good goddamn, tell you what, alles klar
And the nightmare of publicity begins
This is the time to find who are your true friends
I drain my brain, to be original
Build character, aboriginal
American music is what I grew into
? ? ? ? ? ? fuck you!!!!
I say we fear no evolution
Stand up, musical revolution
Follow me because we can never stop
And well never give
Cause this is how, we breath and live
And some of them whine
And some of them bitch
They cannot do it, well never switch
We do it for ourselves, we do it for you
If you dont like it well, I hope you do
