Famous And Dandy (like Amos 'n' Andy) Lyrics - Singles - The Disposable Heroes Of Hiphoprisy

What will we do to become famous and dandy 

Just like Amos and Andy 

What will we do to become famous and dandy 

Just like Amos and Andy 

It's quite a spectacle to see us land 

In waste receptacles as if we've planned it 

We're never skeptical when we get branded 

Then disrespectful 'cause we feel abandoned 

The height of mediocrity is the challenge 

Crawling through the entrails of imbalance 

We learn to like to be the heroes 

We learn to lie to the brand name Negroes 

We learn to laugh to avoid being angry 

We learn to kill and learn to go hungry 

We learn not to feel, for protection 

And we learn to flaunt when we get an erection 

What will we do to become famous and dandy 

Just like Amos and Andy 

What will we do to become famous and dandy 

Just like Amos and Andy 

We're born believing we're greater than circumstance 

Infinitely stronger than chance as our first breath is handed 

We taste the double standard, the need to wear the mask 

And with society's nurturing, the psychic plastic surgery 

Begins to take effect as our souls watch astound 

Our characters flounder, duplicitous identity 

Diction and contradiction have become the skills of assimilation 

Razor honed to perfection from the moment of creation 

It's gone from identity crisis to survival slingshot to rifle 

Sin to revival, try to get looked at but not poked in the eyeball 

Warned of our impurities, afraid of insecurities 

Real life experts of the artificial, athletes and entertainers 

Have become the minstrels on commercials 

What will we do to become famous and dandy 

Just like Amos and Andy 

What will we do to become famous and dandy 

Just like Amos and Andy 

On screen or off we can be rented to perform any feat 

And we reflect the images presented by the media's elite 

Positive or negative attention is viewed as success 

U.S.D.A. African American Beef is seen as progress 

We never ask ourselves too many questions 

Too much truth in introspection 

Maintain the regimentation and avoid self-degradation 

We act out all the stereo types, try to use them as decoy 

And we become shining examples 

Of the system we set out to destroy 

'Cause even in the most radical groups you will find 

That when you stray from the doctrine, you'll see hard times 

What will we do to become famous and dandy 

Just like Amos and Andy 

What will we do to become famous and dandy 

Just like Amos and Andy 

Being kicked in the mouth or smiling with no teeth 

They're both choices, yes, but it's impossible to eat 

Uneducated, underdeveloped, undisciplined but mostly unaware 

We join the flavor of the month club 

We swallow the flavor of the month 

Well, holding our crotch was the flavor of the month 

Bitch this bitch that was the flavor of the month 

Being a thug was the flavor of the month 

Then no to drugs was the flavor of the month 

Kangol was the flavor of the month 

Rope gold was the flavor of the month 

Adidas shoes was the flavor of the month 

Then bashing Jews was the flavor of the month 

Gentrification was the flavor of the month 

Isolation was the flavor of the month 

My pockets are so empty, I can feel my testicles 

'Cause I spent all my money on some plastic African necklaces 

And I still don't know what the colors mean 

Red, black and green 

What will we do to become famous and dandy 

Just like Amos and Andy 

What will we do to become famous and dandy 

Just like Amos and Andy 

What will we do to become famous and dandy 

Just like Amos and Andy 

What will we do to become famous and dandy 

Just like Amos and Andy
