I thought you were the bully of the earth

But you were just a man

Just a man

I thought you were the bully of the earth

But you were just a man

Been awhile minute poppa

I switched styles on ya poppa

Your boy got a new barber

Your daughter gotta new daughter

And bought a ride for your mama

I moved the tribe out to Georgia

I lost Bambi and Adaora

Cause I want a little bit-a more-a

I memba in '08

When you cried for Obama

If you were here to-day

You would cry for tomorrow

We won't hail to the new king

As the politicians mood swings

Everybody showin' true colors

Like a motherfuckin mood ring

And the school ain't reachin them

And the teachers wonder why

Silly bird you don't know how to swim?

Silly fish you don't know how to fly?

Ain't no wonder niggas thinkin we stupid

Urban legend is you'll never be students

Ye' ain't worthy to get shot by Cupid

But get shot by a cop that's ruthless

I joke with the wicked men who wanna see us all in Attica

Start a hunned million kick starters and go on kick us back to Africa

I'll be waitin there with Akon

I'll be out of Dodge no challenger

This a new day nigga why you only thinkin you can run to Canada

Too many rebels just follow convention

I thought it was all about breakin' tradition

I never believed it's all money and bitches

Or that the best human beings are the richest

Fuckin ridiculous

You fooled em chief, you fooled em all

You see

I thought you were the bully of the earth

But then you were just a man

I thought you were the bully of the earth

But then you were just a man

But then you were just a man

You're not a man til' the day your father dies

You're not a woman til' you make your momma cry

You're not a man til' the day your father dies

You're not a woman til' you make your momma cry (oh me oh my)

It ain't the end of the world

Just the end of the day

It ain't the end of the world

Just the end of the day (oww!)
