I'm in a world where my day carries on
Despite all my problems, I turn those into songs
And I play them for the world hoping
That black kids will listen (Listen)
Tryna boost their confidence, I'm tryna get them billions (Billions)
Tryna let them know that it's okay to be different (Different)
I wanna give you hope in yourself and the children
I wanna be your shootin' star
I wanna know you love yourself 'cause who you are
I wanna see you rise, wanna see you glow
I don't know if you had a clue (Say)
About what it's like for the kids like me (It's like for the kids)
If not let me show you Clueless America at our disposal (Say)
I don't know if you had a clue (Say)
About what it's like for the kids like me (It's like for the kids)
If not let me show you Clueless America at our disposal
I live my life the way I want to
Only do the things that I wanna do
I grew up with them kids who never wanted a job
But they wasn't rich, they wasn't scared to rob
So my thoughts are the same, but I wasn't out with 'em
Makin' music instead so A&R's is a stick up
If you feel me then get up, I know the kids are with me
Playin' N.E.R.D, treat my thoughts like a Sydney
I could probably move faster if I acted like you
But I wouldn't be me and that wouldn't be cool
To the kids who are black and are hatin' our school
'Cause they don't understand what it's like to be you
I don't know if you had a clue (Say)
About what it's like for the kids like me (It's like for the kids)
If not let me show you Clueless America at our disposal (Say)
I don't know if you had a clue (Say)
About what it's like for the kids like me (It's like for the kids)
If not let me show you Clueless America at our disposal
Clueless America, save the mass hysteria
We're just tryna be who we wanna be (Who we wanna be, who we wanna be)
Clueless America, know you might be scared of us
But a lot of kids feel like me (Just us)
Clueless America, save the mass hysteria
We're just tryna be who we wanna be (Who we wanna be, who we wanna be)
Clueless America, know you might be scared of us
But a lot of kids feel like me (Just us)
Yo, this is Jerry P., uh, leave a
Message at the tone or some shit, yeah
Yo, I'm sorry we haven't talked in a while, I've been havin' a bit
Of a tough time recently, but I just wanted to tell you that I love
You and I miss you and I can't wait to see you again, so call me
