Ordinary People Lyrics - Singles - Ahmad

Oops, I guess I should stop singin' and start bringin' the funk 

The negro sings a rap and have you clappin' 

I gets busy 'cause I never fall, I excel 

Never takin' no shorts, so here's my tall tale 

Once upon the clock it was hard growing up with no pops 

But moms did the supernatural, very extra-ordinary person that she is 

She finished college, three kids at home cryin' 

But never got fed up and kept her head up 

"I shoot for the sky", is what she said, it got embedded in my skull 

That's how I got soul to reach ya through your speaker 

My mother alone helped me to be me 

So that's my role model, not an idiot on TV 

Used to do it like this and like that and like this 

But since she never let me join a gang I couldn't G thang 

So for all her prayers at night under the church steeple 

I give thanks to my mother, one of those very extra-ordinary people 

Now dig it, 2, 6, 8, I guess that I appreciate 

(4) 

And consider that niggas who work hard is the superstars 

(Ordinary) 

People with families, that have kids 

Should be put on a pedestal, not average 

Treatment for our mother and fathers and if you ask me 

I'll say, "You put your family first, before an athlete" 

But everybody wanna be somebody special 

Who can grab a microphone or put a ball through a hoop 

And it's okay to like Mike even I would, if I drank Gatorade 

But I'm too busy funkin' your trunk with all this 808 

To worry about that, I'm worried 'bout this, if you agree 

Then pump your fist, if you're proud to show you're pissed 

(Say it loud) 

Off at the news and media because they swear 

That all black people are menaces and holler and cheer 

But since there's so many others that want justice 

I know we will start respectin' others as brothers and come together 

All of the ordinary people 

Ordinary people make the world turn 

I learned that if you work hard in life 

Then it counts the way the balls bounce 

I wrote this to give a message, I'll be glad if it switches your goal 

From bein' a gangsta to a graduate 

And if you listened close to what I said, you learned a lesson 

And heard that all the average Jones' are no greater 

Or no lesser than stars 'cause all we all are is equal 

So shut off your TV set and show respect to some of the 

Ordinary people
