What will we do to become famous and dandy
 just like Amos 'n' Andy
 (2x)
 It's quite a spectacle
 to see us land in
 waste receptacles
 as if we've planned it
 We're never skeptical
 when we get branded
 Then disrespectful
 cause we feel abandoned
 The height of mediocrity
 is the challenge
 Crawling through the entrails
 of imbalance
 We learn to like to be the heroes
 We learn to lie to the brand name negroes
 We learn to laugh to avoid being angry
 We learn to kill and learn to go hungry
 We learn not to feel, for protection
 and we learn to flaunt when we get an erection
 [Chorus:]
 What will we do to become famous and dandy,
 just like Amos 'n' Andy
 (2x)
 We're born believing we're greater than circumstance
 Infinitely stronger than chance
 As our first breath is handed
 We taste the double standard
 the need to wear the mask
 And with society's nurturing
 The psychic plastic surgery
 begins to take effect
 As our souls watch astouned
 Our characters flounder
 duplicitous identity
 Diction and contradiction
 have become the skills
 of assimilation
 Razor honed to perfection
 From the moment of creation
 It's gone from identity crisis
 To survival slingshot to rifle
 Sin to revival
 Try to get looked at
 but not poked in the eyeball
 Warned of our impurities
 Afraid of insecurities
 Real life experts of the artificial
 Athletes and entertainers
 have become the minstrels
 on commercials
 [Chorus:]
 What will we do to become famous and dandy,
 just like Amos 'n' Andy
 (2x)
 On screen or off we can be rented
 to perform any feat
 And we reflect the images presented
 by the media's elite
 Positive or negative attention
 is viewed as success
 U.S.D.A. African American Beef
 is seen as progress
 We never ask ourselves
 too many questions
 too much thruth in introspection
 Maintain the regimentation
 and avoid self-degradation
 We act out all the stereotypes
 Try to use them as decoy
 and we become shining examles
 of the system we set out to destroy
 Cause even in the most radical groups
 you will find
 that when you stray from the doctrine
 you'll see hard times
 [Chorus:]
 What will we do to become famous and dandy,
 just like Amos 'n' Andy
 (2x)
 Being kicked in the mouth
 or smiling with no teeth
 They're both choices, yes
 but it's impossible to eat
 Uneducated, underdeveloped
 Undisciplined but mostly unaware
 We join the flavor of the month club
 We swallow the flavor of the month
 Well holding our crotch
 was the flavor of the month
 Bitch this Bitch that
 was the flavor of the month
 Being a thug
 was the flavor of the month
 Then no to drugs
 was the flavor of the month
 Kangol
 was the flavor of the month
 Rope gold
 was the flavor of the month
 Adidas shoes
 was the flavor of the month
 Then bashing Jews
 was the flavor of the month
 Gentrification
 was the flavor of the month
 Isolation
 was the flavor of the month
 My pockets are so empty I can feel my testicles
 cause I spent all my money on some plastic African necklaces
 and I still don't know what the colors mean...
 RED, BLACK AND GREEN
 [Chorus:]
 What will we do to become famous and dandy,
 just like Amos 'n' Andy
