Cee-Lo

Mm hmm
Ok, Ok
Yeah
Yall thought I lost it
[Verse One: Cee-Lo]
In no fashion have I lost my passion for the pen
Its just that lately life has been a lost less inspirin
To tell you the truth trials and tribulations is very tirin
I gotta play a little game of gimmick and gunfirin
Im not aspirin to be any lower or higher than,
I get equal as in eye to eye again
Im the truth, Im complicated Im all ready but try again
Ive got to die once to never ever die again
And what I believe within I engrave within my skin
And one thang that I aint is a saint without a sin
How could there be a now if there never was a then?
That is unbalanced just like the yang without the yen
I am distinguishably deeper as opposed to the paper-thin
And I breathe oxygen, and you rhymin bout rocks again
You stagnant, standing still enough to feel the world spin
Im beginning to smell the end in the path of the blowing wind
Hopefully Im fortunate enough to spend forever with a friend
Im slow dancing with destiny every day until then
When I first got my big break I said that I would never bend
And discredit my character to keep up or contend
And my belief beat baseline secrete such a special blend
I am not like them at all and I cannot pretend
I am not like you at all and I cannot pretend.
[Hook]
DAMN
That shit was funky
You heard that nigga?
DAMN
Shawty Lo
(yup, cmon)
[Verse Two: Cee-Lo]
I get off on an extension or compare comprehension
Im in a classroom of my own, Im too far gone for competition
Yet Im never obnoxious with my obvious ambition
Perfectly imperfect is my dimensions definition
I engage my pen pierces the page so that it bleeds my intention
With honorable mention of Gods divine intervention
Im incredible Im inevitable and theres no possible prevention
Ill hardly (have to) scream my dream and Ill have your undivided attention
The powers that be will be beaten into submission
And you will be able to see my revolution on television
Youll get an aneurysm fuckin around with my head on collision
With the power to get you dead and half the dead risen
I remember when my development was arrested
I was doin time on my mind misguided and misdirected
I was sick, so sick if I spoke to you youd be infected
Then my conscience was cleared of all charges and I came out corrected
Reinvented, refined, replenished and well rested
On a mission for a medium to manifest the thoughts I collected
After that everything I breathed upon, I blessed it
I committed crimes of passion and my soul was suspected
But it was thrown out of court because of course the Creator and I connected
He told me, "fear not for thou art protected. Your life is being requested
And you are being tested, so make every attempt you can to expect the unexpected."
[Hook]
Mm mm mm
Boy that Lo boy
DAMN
Oh Lawd
Cee-Lo why you do it like that?
You aint have to bustin all like that, man
Makin these lil rappers feel like they cant rap
DAMN
I got some more, I got some more if you want some.
[Verse Three: Cee-Lo]
I am internally evolving entirely
Extensive eclectic expression eloquently
Instantly innovative, Courageously creative
Im driven, this God given gift it comes naturally to the native
Not a need for the dramatics or the systematic
Simplicities, strictly science and mathematics
The mastermind of the mighty mystical and magical moves
And metaphors manifests masterpieces
Thoroughly fury through the inner minds eye establishes this syn-thesis
Of these innermost, insightful, intriguing interpretations of extreme intelligence
My commonsense is no co-incidence
Caution: competitors approach carefully
Im able to see
Rare ranges of distance, I expect respect
Theres no tolerance for negligence, never
Youll forever
Feel the wrath of the pure and powerful poetry, permanently
Pre-meditative, political, critical, compellin, story-tellin
Defining desire, faith fuelin the fire
Brilliance, ?? philosophical, psychological willingly waging warfare,
Withstandin, commandin, demandin the listening ears to hear what Gods forcin
Instead endorsin education. Equality, not hate
Just revolution of the mind state
Note mere words but emotions
Which is essential, influential provin my peoples potential
Militancy, innocence, insight, listen to God then write
Since my birth date I been tight!
Shit
[Hook]
Now I dont want never hear nobody else say
goddamn a nigga from the South cant rhyme
NEVER!
DAMN
Hehehe...Now can I do my shit??
