Goodie Mob - Special Education (Feat. Janelle Monae)

They call him Gipp saga
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 inside
call em 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 V I P 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
S P E C I A L
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 tea 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 deserve to 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
