Lyrics
Okay, admit, it was pretty childish
stepping on my toes
and spitting in my face
and watching as it froze
in the absence of light
coming from your dark heart of ice.
And, now, y'all're sayin'
"I was just playin'."
Well, can't you play nice?
I don't want my shit
to be written off
as some half-assed job --
some hip-hop slop
like that white-chocolate
Eminem snob.
How you gonna rap in slow-mo',
actin' like you got flow?
Everybody knows your rhymes are whack,
but mine are phat
with a pH higher than acid,
not like your momma got back.
Oh no.
Yeah, I did that:
sent ya back to class,
schooling on your momma's big, hairy,
trailer trash, white ass.
Look, I understand
who I am,
and where i came from.
Doesn't mean that I don't have love
for all the people in the hood
or the RV park.
Don't see no need to start
any sort of discussion
full of nothin'
but tempers and cussin'.
I'll put it plain and simple,
the way I view this place:
everyone on Earth gots soul
and everyone got a face.
But, some of us still think
that we are higher 'cause of race,
and the only diss
in all of this
is disgrace.
'Cause, from the man with thick wallets
to the gentleman caller,
to the slick basketballer,
to the people who've fallen,
to the ice cream man in summer,
to the gagged and bound lovers,
to the premature nutter,
to the pregnant teen mother,
I truly believe
that everybody's a brother
You think I am ridiculous
because I am rappin' like this?
Well, let me tell you something
that's worth your while,
and you'll just have to excuse
my suburban style.
I got lovin' for miles on end.
I got lovin' for my girl,
and lovin' for my friends.
I got love for all the people who I've never met,
and I got love for all the livin',
and love for all the dead.
So, look, it don't make you any
less a man
to give another dude a hug,
or to hold somebody's hand.
In fact, I think that we could --
yeah, I think that we can --
take the power of love
and change the shape of this land.
The trick is to not care
about religion, or color,
or sexuality, or wealth.
'Cause everybody's a brother.
