[Chorus 1]
AbDamnGm, heAbre wGme go again
AbCommon passed on this beat, EbI made it to a jam
AbNow everything I'm not made Ebme everything I am
AbDamnGm, heAbre wGme go again
AbPeople talking shit, but wheEbn the shit hit the fan
AbEverything I'm not made me eEbverything I am
[Verse 1]
AbI'll never be picture-perfecGmt Beyoncé
AbBe light as Al B or black as GmChauncey
AbRemember him from BlackstreeEbt? He was black as the street was
AbI'll never be laid back as tEbhis beat was
AbI never could see why peopleGm'll reach a
AbFake-ass facade that they coGmuldn't keep up
AbYou see how I creeped up?Eb  
AbYou see how I played a big rEbole in Chicago like Queen Latifah?
AbI'll never rock a mink coat Gmin the winter time like Killa Cam
AbOr rock some mink boots in tGmhe summertime like will.i.am
AbLet me know if you feel it, Ebman
Ab'Cause everything I'm not maEbde me everything I am
[Chorus 2]
AbDamGmn, AbherGme we go again
AbEverybody saying Ebwhat's not for him
AbBut everything I'm not Ebmade me everything I am
AbDamGmn, AbherGme we go again
AbPeople talking shit, but wheEbn the shit hit the fan
AbEverything I'm not made me eEbverything I am
[Verse 2]
AbAnd I'm bGmack to tear it up
AbHaters start your engines, I Gmhear 'em gearing up
AbPeople talk so much shit aboEbut me at barbershops
AbThey forget to get their haiEbr cut
AbOkay, fair enough, the streeGmts is flaring up
Ab'Cause they want gun talk, oGmr I don't wear enough
AbBaggy clothes, Reeboks, or AEb-di-dos
AbCan I add that he do spaz ouEbt at his shows
AbSo say goodbye to the NAACP GmAward
AbGoodbye to the India Arie AwGmard
AbThey'd rather give me the N-Ebnigga Please Award
AbBut I'll just take the I Got Eba Lot of Cheese Award
[Chorus 3]
AbDamGmn, AbherGme we go again
Bum-tu-bum-bum-bum
AbBut everything I'm not made Ebme everything I am
AbDamGmn, AbherGme we go again
AbPeople talking shit, but wheEbn the shit hit the fan
AbEverything I'm not made me eEbverything I am
[Verse 3]
AbI know people wouldn't usualGmly rap this
AbBut I got the facts to back Gmthis
AbJust last year, Chicago had Ebover 600 caskets
AbMan, killing's some wack shiEbt
AbOh, I forgot, 'cept for when Gmniggas is rappin'
AbDo you know what it feel likGme when people is passin'?
AbHe got changed over his chaiEbns a block off Ashland
AbI need to talk to somebody, Ebpastor
AbThe church want tithe, so I Gmcan't afford to pay
AbPink slip on my door, 'cause GmI can't afford to stay
AbMy fifteen seconds up, but I Ebgot more to say
AbThat's enough Mr. West, pleaEbse, no more today
[Chorus 2]
AbDamGmn, AbherGme we go again
AbEverybody saying what's not Ebfor him
AbBut everything I'm not made Ebme everything I am
AbDamGmn, AbherGme we go again
AbPeople talking shit, but wheEbn the shit hit the fan
AbEverything I'm not made me eEbverything I am
