To all my fans
 The people  who don't know..
 What I been goin through
 To make my  own..

 Now it's time to hurt your feelings as I upsets music industry fan
 Hey yo my man  look at my hand  they look human right?
 You think I'm a monster  ill circus clown
 Not a specimen  don't look at me funny when I come around
 A&R been tryin to figure me out for years
 Tryin to re duplicate me but they can't so they hate me
 While white boys run the head of black music with a Japanese assistant
 What does a Chinese kid know about the rap game? That's a shame
 As I see and watch on BET
 There's a million uncreative rappers tryin to be me
 I'm startin to feel like Jimi Hendrix
 when they covered the story who started rock
 Magazines put blankets over my interviews
 They don't wanna see me on channel 7 news, tellin the truth
 off the project roof, they always have secret spies with eyes
 Watchin me recordin my album, send in producers with wack tracks
 and DAT's, messin up my whole format
 Can you imagine somethin on the kneeboard with Con-Funk-Shun?
 With an alternative hippie kid from the record label watchin your back
 Talkin about, "Mariah Carey's funky,"
 Makin the average group buckdance like a barrel full of monkies
 While I break out to shoppin mall he's makin a quick phone call
 about my sound is too new and different
 I need to be regular like Dru Hill and a little more ill
 (Hey Keith, we want you to be ill)

 Leave me alone, leave me alone!
 (Politics, politics..)
 Leave me alone, leave me alone!
 (Politics, politics..)
 Leave me alone, leave me alone!
 (Politics, politics..)
 Leave me alone, leave me alone!
 (Politics, politics..)

 OF COURSE I'm hard to work with cause you hard to work with
 I don't wanna meet Insane Clown Posse and collaborate
 I'm tryin to innovate and think quick at a fast rate
 Why you mad cause I'm original - you can't do the material
 when I sit back and watch you act big
 Spend your budget on your video
 I'm in one of my three luxury apartments eatin Raisin Bran cereal
 While you front low, I take my bike ride down to Wells Fargo
 How long is it gon' take, nine-hundred-thousand in clear
 Takin with a clear, I don't need a Benz this year
 Took care of my paperwork
 Takin United Taxi out to Vegas
 while the average R&B group is doin a promo concert
 Ignorin your phone calls from broke labels
 who try to put out underground MC's
 Tryin to get me to rap on a wack jazz track for one G
 How dare you try to insult me?
 I got 40 grand for three minutes to write a song with Prodigy
 Other crews don't get budget, got the nerve to call me
 Welcome to the business, stand as a witness
 Work on your stomach, do physical fitness
 I ain't playin, all this African stuff all look the same
 I don't need a Joey Neckbone puttin his artwork on my CD
 Drawin Apple Jacks and Honeycomb with me sittin on the throne
 No I'm takin a regular picture by the hotel St. Bonaventure
 Besides I do wear a coat in the winter
 and eat at beautiful resteraunts

 Leave me alone, leave me alone!
 (Politics, politics..)
 Leave me alone, leave me alone!
 (Politics, politics..)
 Leave me alone, leave me alone!
 (Politics, politics..)
 Leave me alone, leave me alone!
 (Politics, politics..)

 Why you think I should wear a motorcycle helmet??
 Why don't you wear it?! Put on some wings like a PARROT
 Let's discuss this contract
 Why are you hypin up a normal female group with fat cellulite
 that sound wack? Most of y'all goin out like Uncle Tom's
 like Louis Armstrong
 Wearin a tattoo and goin onstage like Tracy Chapman
 I cancelled a big tour cause I was prepared
 Y'all on the road with per diem money and y'all scared
 While y'all walk and look hard
 your manager got his name all over your Versatile card
 And plus this video treatment sucks
 The fish lens effects, the lens to the camera only cost a hundred bucks
 Look at the director, tryin to tell me what to do
 I done this before, 14 degrees freezin cold
 doin _Poppa Large_ with a cage on my head, that's dead
 Don't get your imagination too messed up
 I'm wearin a Yankee hat and a Starter I'm not dressin up
 How you gonna tell me what to wear?!
 I don't need mascara and a stylist
 Save that for a big rock group like Pantera
 Experience, Next Plateau, Mercury, Wild Pitch, EMI, Capitol, DreamWorks
 Never got dropped
 Put my lyrics away and stopped
 Too many people with hands in my projects
 havin fantasies of me bein Superman you bein stupid man
 I'm like Prince, you might see me once every five years
 at the record company
 While most of y'all live at the label
 beggin for your rent and car notes to be paid
 Under the table, doin routine dances for advances
 (Ooh, you get involved!)

 Leave me alone, leave me alone!
 (Politics, politics..)
 Leave me alone, leave me alone!
 (Politics, politics..)
 Leave me alone, leave me alone!
 (Politics, politics..)
 Leave me alone, leave me alone!
 (Politics, politics
