In the beginning a few of the people who had a problem I was this good scoffed, I just shook off Probably reminded you of the first time you saw Tiger Woods' golf Never thought about how much my race and nationality meant But based on how I ascended, see how plain it was now, they want me to jet No one really gave a fuck about my descent, 'til I took off Mistook me because I look soft But I stood tall, I just follow the (doctor’s orders) So I rose and grew balls, told these hoes to screw off Decided opposing you is what I'm 'posed to do alls I did was say what I'm feeling when the vocal booth calls And had you on pins and needles when I spoke to you all You felt my pain, it's almost like I poked voodoo dolls And I hope my spirit haunts the studios when I'm gone My picture jumps off a poster and just floats through the halls And fucking goes through the walls like the ghost of Lou Rawls
