Shihan - Sick and Tired lyrics

I'm sick of n***as in Expeditions I'm sick of girls with two-way pagers I'm sick of everybody thinking they're that f**ing cool And I'm tired of girls thinking that being attractive is an occupation And I'm tired of J Lo having white parents in every movie she's in And I'm sick of Egyptians looking like old white men with English accents in cartoons like the Prince of Egypt When the Prince of Egypt was black and so was Moses for that fact And I want to smack people who don't even realize Egypt is in Africa And I'm sick of people acting like slavery doesn't affect the present state of blacks in this country When slavery was a race with a 450-year head start for everyone else Plus, truth be told, my grandmother's grandmother was a slave So it wasn't that far back But I'm sick of us still using it as an excuse And you know what? I'm sick of black features being attributed to everyone except blacks Like having big lips is cool, but only after Angelina Jolie has them And having a big booty is cool, but only after J Lo has them And I'm tired of the media pushing these ugly African models Trying to convince me they exotic when they just plain ugly There's not only one type of black beauty And I'm sick of Master P being allowed to speak on behalf of hip hop When he represent nothing but everything wrong with it And I'm sick of being an invisible man to everyone except the cops And I'm sick of George Bush acting arrogant about his ignorance And I'm sick of us not suing for back taxes Because taxation without representation is a legitimate case Because until the early 1970s blacks weren't allowed to vote But we were still paying taxes And I'm sick of apathy And I'm sick of American Idol and the whole Survivor phenomenon I want to drop kick minorities who vote Republican And I'm tired of poets who talk like this And poets who talk like this And I'm tired of poets doing poems for p**y I'm tired of audience members snapping in poetry readings And I'm sick of Cuba Gooding Jr crying in every movie he's in And I'm sick of Samuel L Jackson wearing f**ed up wigs in every movie he's in And I'm tired of clubs making you wait in them long lines to make them look more popular Then I'm sick at myself for standing in them lines so I can be seen at a popular club Right? And I'm sick of people bragging about the ghetto The ghetto's a situation we supposed to be getting out of not embracing And I'm sick of everybody trying to be in the entertainment industry Because soon, there'll be no audience just a bunch of monkeys on stage dancing
