Danced It Off

-Chorus- Look at The Emblem of America then ask me why I seem pissed off. Lied to all my life, but I danced it off. Partied all my life, had to dance it off. Club life, Night life, Casinos, yeah we flaws. Trying to keep our Cool, yeah we dance it off. Partied all my life, yeah I danced it off. -1st Verse- At da age of 3, I was thrown into ah school. Told me, Larry you smart, just for tying my fuckin shoes. Nap time, snack time, taught to follow rules. Ah teacher was my first preacher, I was told they had dem jewels. I believed it, taught not to keep my secrets. Grandma yellin Cherokee dey yelling don't repeat it. Taught the serpent was bad in da Garden of Eden. I couldn't take they word for it I started readin. School handed me ah Globe that's when I started speeding. Handed fairytales to control my dreaming. Partied through it all, danced it off. Neverland, Peter Pan they claimed we lost. So I tried to find myself, I don't know why. Taught it's better when you dead, Heavens in da sky. Always felt in my soul that was ah lie. Books of Higher learning trying to sooth my mind. Never thought about throwing in da white cloth. Indoctrinated energy moving with full force. Ah waste of time, that's what I thought. So I partied through it all, danced it off. Was ah kid playin house, your parents never off. Became the parent, now you thinking all fuckin dey thoughts. dance it off, dance it off. -2nd Verse- Fam I'm drop kickin beats, don't put yah style in danger. Dey screaming dey lyrical but they'll put life in danger. What da fuck is this, I told my Black Dog his life matter. Slid his ass some food and water, feeled myself with laughter. I'm indigenous, too bad it came after. everything I had to cypher through and never knew. Like my Ancestors, wonder how many people know who they Uncle was ah thousand years ago. Me either, see what I'm saying. Didn't believe what they was teaching, I was horse playin. Tried to tell me I was from Africa, I lost my patience. Why would they tell that, I'm from were I'm at. Started studying about America, pulled out da maps. This ah Ancient Place, nevermind they facts. The Ghettos and Projects is where dey hid us at. Gave us Lions tryinna break our Wolf packs. Mississippi River flow, my Culture back. Never thought about throwing in da white cloth. Indoctrinated energy moving with full force. Ah waste of time, that's what I thought. So I partied through it all, danced it off.
