Famous and Dandy (Like Amos 'n' Andy)
Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy

What will we do to become famous and dandy?nJust like Amos 'n' Andyn(2x)nnIt's quite a spectacle to see us land innwaste receptacles as if we've planned itnWe're never skeptical when we get branded nThen disrespectful cause we feel abandoned nThe height of mediocrity is the challenge nCrawling through the entrails of imbalance nWe learn to like to be the heroes nWe learn to lie to the brand name negroes nWe learn to laugh to avoid being angry nWe learn to kill and learn to go hungry nWe learn not to feel, for protectionnand we learn to flaunt when we get an erectionnnButnnWhat will we do to become famous and dandy?n just like Amos 'n' Andyn(2x)nnWe're born believing we're greater than circumstance nInfinitely stronger than chancenAs our first breath is handednWe taste the double standardnthe need to wear the masknAnd with society's nurturingnThe psychic plastic surgerynbegins to take effectnAs our souls watch astounednOur characters flounder nduplicitous identitynDiction and contradiction have becomenthe skills of assimilationnRazor honed to perfectionnFrom the moment of creation nIt's gone from identity crisisnTo survival slingshot to riflenSin to revivalnTry to get looked atnbut not poked in the eyeballnWarned of our impuritiesnAfraid of insecuritiesnReal life experts of the artificialnAthletes and entertainers have becomenthe minstrels on commercialsnnWhat will we do to become famous and dandy?njust like Amos 'n' Andyn(2x)nnOn screen or off we can be rentednto perform any featnAnd we reflect the images presentednby the media's elitenPositive or negative attentionnis viewed as successnU.S.D.A. African American Beefnis seen as progressnWe never ask ourselves too many questionsntoo much truth in introspectionnMaintain the regimentation nand avoid self-degradationnWe act out all the stereotypesnTry to use them as decoynand we become shining examlesnof the system we set out to destroynCause even in the most radical groupsnyou will find nthat when you stray from the doctrinenyou'll see hard timesnnWhat will we do to becomenfamous and dandy,just like Amos 'n' Andyn(2x)nnBeing kicked in the closednmouth or smiling with no teethnThey're both choices, yesnbut it's impossible to eatnUneducated, underdevelopednUndisciplined but mostly unawarenWe join the flavor of the month clubnWe swallow the flavor of the monthnWell holding our crotch was the flavor of the monthnBitch this, Bitch that was the flavor of the monthnBeing a thug was the flavor of the month. Then nno to drugs was the flavor of the monthnKangol was the flavor of the month. ThennRope gold was the flavor of the monthnAdidas shoes was the flavor of the month. Thennbashing Jews was the flavor of the month. ThennGentrification the flavor of the month. ThennIsolation was the flavor of the month.nMy pockets are so empty I can feel my testiclesncause I spent all my money on some plastic African necklacesnand I still don't know what the colors mean.nRED, BLACK AND GREENnnWhat will we do to become famous and dandy?njust like Amos 'n' Andyn(4x)
