Goodie Mob - Special Education (Feat. Janelle Monae)

They call him Gipp Zagga
It's the mutant mister get down
Live wire words poke
you like barbwire
Maroon Range sugar cane oil stains
My right leg longer
than my left foot
Put stripes next to
squares still peel the circle
See spirits off of people
I don't see color
I'm a special mind
yeah a special kind
Conceived in the South
at a special time
Covered in leaves of gold
Scripture written in scrolls
Spoken so clearly in tongues
So my children would come
Look around
Can't you see
The industry they look like me
I don't wear the clothes you wear
I'm just different and I don't care
It's kind of sad and it's a shame
Everyone wants to be the same
If you are listening here and now
I'm sure I can show you how
It's okay to be afraid
Don't you want to be special
I'm so special boy
Try to went stupid dawg
I eat nuclear waste
and spit atomic bombs
Plutonium explodes
that's my trademark
Mushroom clouds
psychotic brain farts
Gamma rays torch
my system now I'm going green
G-force in my veins
pump hydrozine
KT 13 a microphone beam
Cosmic juggernaut
extraterrestrial being
Reign supreme once conceived
boy they broke the mold
All this glory seeking is
getting totally outta control
No one's original
Attack of the Clones
Invasion of the swagger snatchers
Aim for the dome
I don't wear the clothes you wear
I'm just different and I don't care
It's kind of sad and it's a shame
Everyone wants to be the same
If you are listening here and now
I'm sure I can show you how
It's okay to be afraid
Don't you want to be special
Scientists stood around
in silence as I was being born
Was I quote unquote special
or was there something wrong
My skin was black my heart
was gold and my tongue was silver
And the fact that I could talk
already that was a thriller
And I fear what I don't
understand so let me warn you
Especially when nigga make
too much noise
about being normal
Unusual but beautiful
the bondin' blessing
Summa Cum Laude
School of Exceptional Youth
X Men
Let me put something poetic
into plain English
I'd rather die
than to not be distinguished
The outsiders have
no desires to be equal
When VIP stands
for Very Insecure People
I don't wear the clothes you wear
I'm just different and I don't care
It's kind of sad and it's a shame
Everyone wants to be the same
If you are listening here and now
I'm sure I can show you how
It's okay to be afraid
Don't you want to be special
SPECIAL
Heavyweight in the game
T tip the scale
I travel over the world back to ATL
I'm friends with the mayor
I'm a truthsayer
A crusader a natural born raider
I need a deejayer
to be the illustrator
Let's get the dollar signs
I said my Gucci rhymes
I think it's T time
Don't need a co-sign
T-Mo is on the grind
he about to let it shine
Off in the skyline
don't worry 'bout mine
I can handle lies
and watching third eyes
I make 'em go blind
I don't just rap the rhyme
I don't wear the clothes you wear
I'm just different and I don't care
It's kind of sad and it's a shame
Everyone wants to be the same
If you are listening here and now
I'm sure I can show you how
It's okay to be afraid
Don't you want to be special
