Awol One Agony
I don't want the television to make up my mind And I don't want you to tell me what to do And I don't want kids getting pregnant at fifteen And I don't want you to keep stealin my shit And I don't need sugar or salt or water or bone And I don't survive of money you loan And I don't want people to cry because they're lonely And I don't wanna die too soon from the bottle And I don't want you to keep changin' the channel And I don't wanna grab the mic unless the crowd hype I don't want drugs to take over your life And I don't doubt that tonight is the night [Chorus: repeat 2X] I don't want my radio without fresh batteries and all the other radios are tryin'a battle me But I throw on my pumas, and then I'm fine No radio gets louder than mine! I don't wanna become a fashion victim What I don't want is for TV to inflict'em And what I don't want, people to worship the almighty dollar I don't want to see broke MC's and [cold collars] I don't want you to tell me what to do And I don't want them to call it technicolor when it's only shades of red that's fillin up your head And I don't want you to ... till I'm dead And I don't want them to judge me like a book And I don't want life not to take a second look I don't want a choregrapher to teach me how to dance I don't wanna make another record without an advance I don't want a formula, the same pattern And I don't want to mimic or be a walking gimmick And I don't want you people just to stand there But what I do want you to do is yell like you don't care! [Chorus] I don't wanna be anyone but me And I don't want to be addicted to love and tragedy I don't wanna face it, or retrace it I don't wanna Laugh Out Loud and have to replace it I don't want questions enough everyday And I don't know how long I could live this way I don't wanna be lazy, broken, and unmotivated And I don't wanna be like Mick Jagger, and just imitated! I don't wanna be forgotten, when I'm rotten I don't wanna live this lifestyle, California wild child I don't wanna be - living in agony Orchestrated b-boy screams!!! It's like that Check it out [Chorus]
