i.am.orange Lyrics

They don't seem the same
Something has happened causing a difference to what was once the same.

Things is rearranged something's changed
There has been a significant change in the surroundings so much that objects are rearranged.

I say who done fucked it up?
I am making an inquiry about who is responsible for screwing things up.

Who? Hot Karl gonna switch it back up
Hot Karl is going to resolve the situation and make things right again.

Something's changed, let's go toe for toe
A change has occurred, let us engage in a fair fight.

Cause nobody's watching you
No one is keeping an eye on you.

Like Queen Latifah's talk show
As if you've got nobody paying attention to you, similar to no one watching Queen Latifah's talk show.

And as far as being just another rapper
I am not just another rapper.

That's over
That is in the past.

I'm the Jewish Jay-Z, the Hebrew Hova
I am like Jay-Z, but a Jewish version.

A college graduate, yo I'm not here to fight
I'm a college graduate and I'm not interested in fighting.

"I don't get it A white rapper who acts white?"
"I don't understand, a white rapper who behaves like a white person?"

But when I grab the mic with The style that I bring
When I take the microphone using my unique style,

Nerdy white kids line up like it Was "Lord Of The Rings" it's changed
Even though things have changed, me taking the microphone causes nervous white kids to line up, like they would for "Lord Of The Rings."

Try to front and play the hot post But admit that if we battle Then you ain't coming close it's a joke
You're trying to pretend that you're cool, but you know that if we battle, you won't even come close, it's laughable.

You must've thought I'd amount to zero Cause I'm the Suge Knight with Woody Allen as my hero
You thought I wouldn't be anything, but I turned out to be something great despite being like Suge Knight with Woody Allen as my idol.

Why's that kid on MTV with a sombrero? The man, while you're just a fan Like Bob DeNiro?
Why is that kid on MTV with a sombrero? He's the man, while you're just a fan, like those who admire Bob DeNiro?

But if I'm found dead, laying in a gutter Make a poetry CD and tell Meadow that I love her
If I die alone on the streets, make a CD of my poetry and let Meadow know I love her.

If Hot Karl don't blow up, I'm 'a be pissed Cause then I'm stuck with an H and A K tatted on my wrists
If Hot Karl doesn't make it big, I'd be angry since I already have an H and K tattoo on my wrists.

With a college education that Didn't mean shit
Even though I have a college degree, it doesn't seem to matter.

Cause I had the opportunity but Couldn't make a hit
I had the opportunity to make something great but wasn't able to create a hit song.

Oh well, I won't be surprised if that happens We live in a world where O Town goes platinum
I wouldn't be shocked if that occurs since O Town can go platinum in today's world.

It's hard to tell exactly what'll sell I really miss Aaliyah cause I'm Stuck with Blu Cantrell
It's difficult to tell what will be popular. I miss Aaliyah because I'm stuck with Blu Cantrell.

What the fuck? I mean, every rock rap group Sounds exactly the same and still blows up
What's going on? Every rock rap group sounds similar but still becomes popular.

So now I'm pissed on some West Coast shit So you know I had to make a call to DJ Quik

Cause to tell my story it had to be bumpin' To prove the suburbs could Flow just like Compton

I grew up with white kids who have lived in the suburbs.

Who graduated college just to work a 9-to-5 To satisfy the parents that They secretly despise
They went to college to work a 9-to-5 and make their parents happy, even though they secretly hate them.

And when it's all exposed people Act like they surprised
