[00:28.57]Listen, they tried to put me in a box, the urban dude,
[00:33.91]I miss the festivals,..
[00:36.49]They never really understood what I was trying to do,
[00:40.65]And had me feeling... kinda blue!
[00:43.73]I flipped the switches and put the rock star in my show,
[00:46.95]Went overseas and had 'em...
[00:49.49]They're looking funny I was bad with a bad with a black band
[00:53.56]Eating everybody in the game...!

[01:00.11]I've got these kids looking at me, saying what a shame!

[01:26.65]Have you ever seen such determination?
[01:29.47]Despite all, I'm still a theme for the adulation.
[01:32.62]Everything I ever wrote I did it form the heart
[01:35.93]Never had a top ten but you still respect my art.
[01:39.08]I'm in the club and they still send me free bottles,
[01:42.51]They still push that chief out far with a super model.
