Alienated

[Verse 1 - K. Jayz]

I’m tryna raise the bar for niggas who don’t rap right

If I’m not meant to carry on then I’ll die tonight

I’ve always been so isolated and alienated from niggas who hated

But I know one day I’ll say I made it

I know I was different, I never had a best friend

Cause everybody who said it never really meant it

But it’s okay, it’s alright, I don’t give a fuck

Cause now I’m putting pursuit in doing something I love

Rapping about how I feel and what I think about

These other motherfuckers gon’ have to pursue another route

I’ma spit some catastrophic devastation if you follow me

I’ma fuck up the game so hard with no apologies

Alienated for way too long

I just wait for the day where everybody singing my song

I see lyricism resurrecting from the grave

Put all the ignorant music and stupid rappers to shame


[Hook x2 - André 3000]

Now throw your hands in the air

And wave 'em like you just don't care

And if you like fish and grits and all that pimp shit

Everybody let me hear you say, "O-Yea-yer"


[Verse 2 - Big Boi]

Everyday I sit while my nigga be in school

Thinking about the second album at the Dungeon shooting pool

Like E-S to the P-N, cause we adjust to the beat in the zone (zone)

Honey I'm home but I'm not married

Carried a lot of problems around being frustrated

And now I'm sitting at the end of the month I just made it

Like you made the B team, and like your daddy's wife you making that coffee

You heard the A-T-L-iens, so back the hell up off me


[Verse 3 - André 3000]

Shh, shh

Softly as if I played piano in the dark

Found a way to channel my anger now to embark

The world's a stage and everybody's got to play their part

God works in mysterious ways so when he starts

The job of speaking through us we be so sincere with this here

No drugs or alcohol so I can get the signal clear as day

Put my Glock away I got a stronger weapon

That never runs out of ammunition so I'm ready for war okay


[Hook]


[Verse 4 - K. Jayz]

Sometimes I feel like I’m against the American movement

Sometimes people will look at me like I’m not even human

Like I’m an alien, and maybe I am

Sometimes I feel like I’m away from the world like Mary Ann Summers

Trapped on Gilligan’s Island

But if I was ever lost, nobody would try to find me

But I’m good, so don’t worry about me

Go ahead and find some opportunities without me

I’ma do the same and open opened doors, cause they ain’t opened right

They only opened a little bit, welcome to my life

But I never complain, I accept it

Everybody turning corrupt, but I’m never infected

I’ma never turn my back on my family

Even though I know nowadays they turn they back on me

It’s the way of life, I guess

So I guess I’m just gon’ have to learn from life, I guess
