“I’m the virtuous / I’m the blamed / I’m the yearnin / I’m the grave / I’m the lost cause / I’m the slave /  I’m the tired / I’m the fat-ass / I’m the coward / I’m the bombast / I’m the preacher / I’m the dog / I’m the chickenhead / I’m the hog / I’m the pilot / Of this plane / Better drive it / Past the sugar cane / Past tobacco / Past Colt 45 / Past the bling / Past the shuck & jive // Evolution // I’m the fallen / I’m the first / I’m the burden / I’m the has-been / I’m the shallow / I’m the deep / Steady walkin / In my sleep / Oh I’m greedy / Oh I’m starved / Always singin / Steady marchin / I am a band / Of Africans // Evolution”
