Big Ole Words (damn) Lyrics - Singles - Cee-lo

Um hmm, okay, okay, yeah 

Yeah, y'all thought I lost it 

In no fashion have I lost my passion for the pen 

It's just that lately life has been a lost less inspirin' 

To tell you the truth trials and tribulations is very tirin' 

I gotta play a little game of gimmick and gun firin' 

I'm not aspirin' to be any lower or higher than 

I get equal as in eye to eye again 

I'm the truth, I'm complicated, I'm all ready but try again 

I've got to die once to never ever die again 

And what I believe within, I engrave within my skin 

And one thang that I ain't is a saint without a sin 

How could there be a now if there never was a then? 

That is unbalanced just like the yang without the yen 

I am distinguishably deeper as opposed to the paper-thin 

And I breathe oxygen, and you rhymin' 'bout rocks again 

You stagnant, standin' still enough to feel the world spin 

I'm beginnin' to smell the end in the path of the blowin' wind 

Hopefully I'm fortunate enough to spend forever with a friend 

I'm slow dancin' with destiny every day until then 

When I first got my big break, I said that I would never bend 

And discredit my character to keep up or contend 

And my belief beat baseline secrete such a special blend 

I am not like them at all and I cannot pretend 

I am not like you at all and I cannot pretend 

Damn, that shit was funky 

Ooh, heard that nigga? 

Damn, Shawty Lo, c'mon 

I get off on an extension or compare comprehension 

I'm in a classroom of my own, I'm too far gone for competition 

Yet I'm never obnoxious with my obvious ambition 

Perfectly imperfect is my dimension's definition 

I engage my pen pierce the page so that it bleeds my intention 

With honorable mention of God's divine intervention 

I'm incredible, I'm inevitable and there's no possible prevention 

I'll hardly scream my dream and I'll have your undivided attention 

The powers that be will be beaten into submission 

And you will be able to see my revolution on television 

You'll get an aneurysm fuckin' around with my head on collision 

With the power to get you dead and half the dead risen 

I remember when my development was arrested 

I was doin' time on my mind misguided and misdirected 

I was sick, so sick if I spoke to you, you'd be infected 

Then my conscience was cleared of all charges 

And I came out corrected 

Reinvented, refined, replenished and well rested 

On a mission for a medium to manifest the thoughts I collected 

After that everythin' I breathed upon, I blessed it 

I committed crimes of passion and my soul was suspected 

But it was thrown out of court 

'Cause of course the Creator and I connected 

He told me, " Fear not for thou art protected 

Your life is being requested and you are being tested 

So make every attempt you can to expect the unexpected" 

Mm mm mm boy that Lo boy 

Damn, oh, Lawd, Cee-Lo, why you do it like that? 

You ain't have to bustin' all like that, man 

Makin' these 'lil rappers feel like they can't rap 

Damn, I got some more, I got some more if you want some 

I am internally, evolving, entirely 

Extensive, eclectic, expression, eloquently 

Instantly innovative, courageously creative 

I'm driven, this God given gift it comes naturally to the native 

Not a need for the dramatics or the systematics 

Simplicities, strictly science and mathematics 

The mastermind of the mighty, mystical and magical moves 

And metaphors manifests masterpieces 

Thoroughly fury through the inner mind's eye 

Establishes this syn-thesis, of these innermost, insightful 

Intriguin' interpretations of extreme intelligence 

My commonsense is no co-incidence 

Caution, competitors approach carefully I'm able to see 

Rare ranges of distance, I expect respect 

There's no tolerance for negligence, never, you'll forever 

Feel the wrath of the pure and powerful poetry, permanently 

Pre-meditative, political, critical, compellin', story-tellin' 

Definin' desire, faith fuelin' the fire brilliance, prophylactic 

Philosophical, psychological willingly wagin' warfare 

Withstandin', commandin', demandin' 

The listenin' ears to hear what God's forcin' 

Instead endorsin' education ,equality, not hate 

Just revolution of the mind state, not mere words but emotions 

Which is essential, influential provin' my people's potential 

Militancy, innocence, insight, listen to God then write 

Since my birth date I been tight, shit 

Damn, damn 

Now, I don't want never hear nobody else say 

Goddamn a nigga from the south can't rhyme, never 

Damn, he he he, now can I do my shit?
