Crazy, Classic, Life

Lyrics

You told us we hold these truths to be self-evident
 That all men and women are created equal
 And that they are endowed by their Creator
 With certain unalienable rights
 Among these, life, liberty, and the
 And the pursuit of happiness
 Young, Black, wild and free
 Naked on a limousine
 (Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
 Riding through the hood real slow
 I love it when we smell the trees
 (Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
 I just wanna party hard
 Sex in the swimming pool
 (Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
 I don't need a lot of cash
 I just wanna break the rules
 (Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
 We don't need another ruler
 All of my friends are kings
 (Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
 I'm not American's nightmare
 I'm the American dream
 (Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
 Just let me live my life
 I want a crazy, classic, life
 I want a crazy, classic, life
 So if the world should end tonight
 I had a crazy, classic, life
 I don't need a diamond ring
 I don't wanna waste my youth
 (Oh-oh, oh-oh)
 I don't wanna live on my knees
 I just have to tell the truth, baby
 
 (Oh-oh, oh-oh)
 I don't wanna be left out
 I don't wanna cheat on you
 (Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
 I just wanna find a God
 And I hope she loves me too
 (Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
 We don't need another ruler
 We don't need another fool
 (Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
 I'm not American's nightmare
 I'm the American cool
 (Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
 Just let me live my life
 I want a crazy, classic, life
 I want a crazy, classic, life
 So if the world should end tonight
 I had a crazy, classic, life
 I want a crazy, classic, life
 I want a crazy, classic, life
 So if the world should end tonight
 I had a crazy, classic, life

 Crazy, classic, life
 ♪
 Yeah, uh, yeah, yeah, yeah, uh
 Handcuffed in a bando
 White boy in his sandals
 Police like a Rambo
 Blow it out, blow it out like a candle, Sambo
 Me and you was friends, but to them, we the opposite
 The same mistake, I'm in jail, you on top of shit
 You living life while I'm walking around mopping shit
 Tech kid, backpack, no, you a college kid
 All I wanted was to break the rules like you
 All I wanted was for them to love me too
 But no matter where it was I always stood out
 Black Waldo dancing with the thick brows
 We was both running naked at the luau
 We was both on shrooms praying face down, waist down
 'Member when they told you I was too black for ya?
 And now my black poppin' like a bra-strap on ya
 I was kicked out, said I'm too loud
 Kicked out, said I'm too proud
 But all I really ever felt was stressed out
 Kinda like my afro when it's pressed out
