[Refrain]
For every single brown face from overseas to back home
Call me that Micheal Jackson, got hip-hop in my backbone

For every single brown face from overseas to back home
Call me that Micheal Jackson, got hip-hop in my backbone

For every single brown face from overseas to back home
Call me that Micheal Jackson, got hip-hop in my backbone

For every single brown face from overseas to back home
Call me that Micheal Jackson, got hip-hop in my backbone

Yo!

[Verse]
In '82 I'm born to my father drivin' that ice-cream truck
Slangin' tablets our taxi cabs, making master plans but ain't got no luck
But hustle is in a believer
Making money printin' them green cards and
Sendin' them immigrant visas
Play the game as overachiever
Taught me to live as a leader, amongst a race of people you brand inferior
As they live in a standard area, cursed where the masses stand in fear of ya
And amidst this mass hysteria, rose the call for the voice of a rebel
A change in the level, rise up in the arms where the wordplay be the choice of the metal
Comin' for your head with a score to settle
Any emcee I battle, slaughter like cattle
Inject them with my venom like a Copperhead rattle
Snake make you fall off the saddle
Defy every expectation, and speculation that's set forth by these trends that's placed in nations
By these brainwashed generations
Crooked backwards innovations, imposing British segregation
Made to makin' us hate each other now Lazarus came to finish degradation
They used to say never could make it, but then I came with it
Ye kuriyan used to say that I'm ugly, but now they cravin' it (Cravin' it, cravin' it)
Got haters all around my face, but all I do is pray for 'em (Pray for 'em, pray for 'em)
My people got no face for expression, so here's a stage for 'em (Stage for 'em, stage for 'em)
[Refrain]
I feel like I'm on ecstasy, on top of a cloud, no one allowed, no one next to me
As I'm racin' to my destiny
Giving you everything in my soul till nothing left of me
Until it's the death of me
Till the angel take my breath from me

I feel like I'm on ecstasy, on top of a cloud, no one allowed, no one next to me
As I'm racin' to my destiny
Giving you everything in my soul till nothing left of me
Until it's the death of me
Till the angel take my breath from me
