I'm not your typical American I'm not your typical American I'm not your typical American I'm not your typical American Tell me whose is whose Tell me who is on the microphone I'm Oatie of the Goaties I propose I would like a bone To edge off the dredge I'm alleged to have sparked a joint Political and blisstical I really hope ya like my points Aim at a target like a rifle, not a shotgun Don't spray into the fray to prove that I got one Hide ya hose from Aaron Rose 'Cause he knows how to top One's got a nose for the prose So don't suppose he will stop, son I'm rollin' in this rhyme like ya bite a tenderoni Rollin' in this rhyme 'cause it's mine and ya know me I'ma mind, defy, or sing like Toni Tone Singin' for their supper like a dog does a boni George, get off my jock 'Cause I'm really gettin' tired a this shit So step back, Dan, and throw up those fists 'Cause I'ma wriggity wreck shop And turn this mothafucka out Pay what is due me, less I'm goin' up in your mouth Yup, yup, I got the rhymes ta kick your butt It be the G to the O to the A to the T, the M-A Double-D Say "What up, hus? I got bucks Yeah, I be on the 2 bus." So what's up? I got 'nuff Respect to make ya jump Welfare receiver with the north side attitude I've had the shit piled up, like in multitudes Nappy-headed, holey-shoed, roundin' out the roster first Ya wanna step, ya better check the Green Monster first I don't pretend to be a nice guy But still ya tryin' I can go to Plan B and you can get an eye jammy So save the sob stories for a storybook And look, Jack-in-the-box can take a lickin' But I'm never gettin' took By Uncle Scam and his band of political crooks Searchin' nooks and crannies of my granny's pocket book "Hello, hello? Can ya hear me now, G?" The typical American kid, that ain't me Neither is Oatie or the M-A double-D So pass the dutchie 'pon the left hand side Don't hide the crop, 'cause I got the E-Z Wides I'ma survive, not suck seed 'Cause I stand as a man, you can't hand me no bird feed I'm not your typical American I'm not your typical American I'm not your typical American I'm not your typical American Pop goes ya head like the top of a daisy Ya ghost when the word hits like Patrick Swayze Crazy, this shit about a plausible denial North takes the raps, and ya claps at the trial Pie a la mode The ghettos will explode While ya sit pigeon-toed At a diamond commode Another episode of ya walkin' the streets Million dollar stroll, five thousand pigs on the beat For the very first time, imported from the hills Ya take money from the poor like a fiend pops pills Like the Mills Brothers sing a very white song But the roots of ya soul kinda colored belong I'm paralyzin' punks with a positive pedigree For those who choose to love me I'm the M-A the double D For those who choose to hate me I negate like their full effect Feelin' ready and willin' to break Daryl Gates' neck Like, "Fee diddilly, Foe, Fum," I gets dumb And like the typical American black male, I'm done Eatin' apple pies when M-A Double's rockin' rhymes And you know they on my nuts, hus They climb, they climb The hell with Stormin' Norman, I write rhymes, Black They be political and plus, they be all o' that Philly born and bred Wit blunts straight to the head Callin' me conformist, man, I warned you that shit was dead Military is a mockery for all to see Be all you can be is just another trick that's up their sleeve But ya better believe that you'll be grievin' when ya ain't receivin' What was promised, don't be astonished' 'cause ya won't be leavin' They reeled ya in like your skin had fins Now you're poundin' sand for another man's sins To each his own, to each his own, they say But I'ma blow a bone, and you can march 'til the cows come home Your life's alone, that means you rent your own dome But when you come home in a box Green drawers, green pants, green socks Typical American, kid, I think not I'm not your typical American I'm not your typical American I'm not your typical American I'm not your typical American
