Don't You Know Who I Am

One, two, three
 Drunk little Indian boy, they said
 Spouting off his mouth 'bout the great man's debt
 What's a little brag between boys in the cell?
 You never know who's listening at the gates of Hell
 They're just like video stores, press, rewind, delete
 On those that don't work, that don't fit nice and neat
 In the future, we'd say he's worth something
 Hell, I could've been somebody
 Don't you know who I am?
 Don't you know who I am?
 In certain circles, well, you can't touch me
 I'ma dance around, you know I'm connected to the powers that be
 Like Ali, you ain't got nothing on me
 You put my tail in jail, is this place called Hell?
 Wheelin' and dealin' on a Saturday night
 Caught between a calling and a stitched up fight
 Brushing birds that travel, Hell outta here
 Can you see me in your eyes?
 Don't you know who I am?
 Don't you know who I am?
 Don't you know who I am?
 Don't you know who I am?
 Don't you cry, brother, there's a knife in your back
 Don't you cry, sister, he ain't coming back
 Caught you trying to make your way to kingdom come
 Well, this is my territory
 It's God's will to stamp what's mine
 It's God's word that bites your tongue and marks me divine
 The moment we lay our hands on the world, she's disfigured
 Hell, we can touch her up
 Don't you know who I am?
 Don't you know who I am?
 Don't you know who I am?
 Don't you know who I am?
 No shame, no fear, no highway outta here
 No shame, no fear, no highway outta here
 I couldn't fake it if I wanted to
 I think I'll make it if I follow through
 I used to ask you what I needed best
 Got sucker-punched and nearly lost my head
 I'll mount you like an avalanche
 King Midas kills his queen for a fighting change
 I'll go on record, make your mark on my map
 Brush a bird, take my word
 Don't you know who I am?
 Don't you know who I am?
 Don't you know who I am?
 Don't you know who I am?
 He woke up in this mother's arms
 Dawn already, he had heard the call
 Chee Chee, honey, well, it's time to rise
 Spread your wings, little goose, and we'll take flight
 He flew over the devil of the wasteland
 Six strings playing on your heartland
 With death in your pockets and a bird using
 This is the star of progress
 I set out on an expedition
 Hold fire, girl, with your new religion
 Keep it simple with your pop-pop songs
 God forbid you change the record
 I draw lines in symphony, animal savagery
 Refugee just like me, don't believe the hype
 Out of the wasteland we come
 Little girls, little boys, and the nameless ones
 Rise up, oh, children, won't you dance with me?
 Up, little children, come and set me free
 Rise, little ones, rise
 No shame, no fear
 Don't you know who I am?
 Don't you know who I am?
 Don't you know who I am?
 Don't you know who I am?
 Don't you know who I am?
 Don't you know who I am?
 Don't you know who I am?
 Don't you know who I am?
