Famous And Dandy Lyrics

What will we do to become famous and dandy

Just like Amos and Andy

What will we do to become famous and dandy

Just like Amos and Andy

It's quite a spectacle to see us land

In waste receptacles as if we've planned it

We're never skeptical when we get branded

Then disrespectful 'cause we feel abandoned

The height of mediocrity is the challenge

Crawling through the entrails of imbalance

We learn to like to be the heroes

We learn to lie to the brand name Negroes

We learn to laugh to avoid being angry

We learn to kill and learn to go hungry

We learn not to feel, for protection

And we learn to flaunt when we get an erection

What will we do to become famous and dandy

Just like Amos and Andy

What will we do to become famous and dandy

Just like Amos and Andy

We're born believing we're greater than circumstance

Infinitely stronger than chance as our first breath is handed

We taste the double standard, the need to wear the mask

And with society's nurturing, the psychic plastic surgery

Begins to take effect as our souls watch astound

Our characters flounder, duplicitous identity

Diction and contradiction have become the skills of assimilation

Razor honed to perfection from the moment of creation

It's gone from identity crisis to survival slingshot to rifle

Sin to revival, try to get looked at but not poked in the eyeball

Warned of our impurities, afraid of insecurities

Real life experts of the artificial, athletes and entertainers

Have become the minstrels on commercials

What will we do to become famous and dandy

Just like Amos and Andy

What will we do to become famous and dandy

Just like Amos and Andy

On screen or off we can be rented to perform any feat

And we reflect the images presented by the media's elite

Positive or negative attention is viewed as success

U.S.D.A. African American Beef is seen as progress

We never ask ourselves too many questions

Too much truth in introspection

Maintain the regimentation and avoid self-degradation

We act out all the stereo types, try to use them as decoy

And we become shining examples

Of the system we set out to destroy

'Cause even in the most radical groups you will find

That when you stray from the doctrine, you'll see hard times

What will we do to become famous and dandy

Just like Amos and Andy

What will we do to become famous and dandy

Just like Amos and Andy

Being kicked in the mouth or smiling with no teeth

They're both choices, yes, but it's impossible to eat

Uneducated, underdeveloped, undisciplined but mostly unaware

We join the flavor of the month club

We swallow the flavor of the month

Well, holding our crotch was the flavor of the month

Bitch this bitch that was the flavor of the month

Being a thug was the flavor of the month

Then no to drugs was the flavor of the month

Kangol was the flavor of the month

Rope gold was the flavor of the month

Adidas shoes was the flavor of the month

Then bashing Jews was the flavor of the month

Gentrification was the flavor of the month

Isolation was the flavor of the month

My pockets are so empty, I can feel my testicles

'Cause I spent all my money on some plastic African necklaces

And I still don't know what the colors mean

Red, black and green

What will we do to become famous and dandy

Just like Amos and Andy

What will we do to become famous and dandy

Just like Amos and Andy

What will we do to become famous and dandy

Just like Amos and Andy

What will we do to become famous and dandy

Just like Amos and Andy
