On the day that I was born, my soul told my body I'mma stay with you for a while, but if you don't take care of yourself, then I'mma have to bounce. Was light-skinned so 400 years ago, I'd have been born a house slave. Ironic 'cause I'm rarely ever at my house.
Nowadays (nowadays) I got to school and started learning about my name. First thing I learned's that my first name's a white name. The next thing I learned is that my last name is something most white people can't pronounce. It's Adam Traore, sounded weird so right away I had some doubts. But even back then the only thing my family ever put before my dreams was a bedtime story and that's what counts (that's what counts).
Now I'm trying to save up cash in mass amounts in the type of bank where only white people have accounts. Buy a house with a little cheddar, invest the rest into the earth so everybody could live better (live better, live better).
Man, life is short, hope I make it through with just a dime or two. That's all I'm trying to do. Stay around some real people if I find a few, spin a rhyme or two, that's all I'm trying to do. Be myself, steady, stand true. Save a life or two, that's all I'm trying to do. She said I got the good vibes looking at 'em. Just listen to this tape, it's called the Book of Adam (Book of Adam, Book of Adam).
OOOHHH, OOOHHH, maybe some time OOOHHH, make it even, OOOHHH, make it right.
