Bad Ass Self

It's a special time
I got a special feeling
Yeah
And all I gotta say is
I think Kenn'zo got his groove back
Yeah, I think Kenn'zo got his groove back
Yeah, yuh, huh, yeah, listen, yo, uh
I said I...

I'd like to introduce you to my new ascension
I got through it before, all I had to do was listen
To every sound of life, the melody was intoxicating
Made harmonies to get some harmony
My life is more amazing with the thought of me
Sounds a little vain, but nobody loves me like I love me
Walked away from it, a new man like I changed IDs
So many clones like a Shady song, but they ain't quite me, haha

If it was up to me I'd be the only thing in my dreams, it's true
Yeah, yuh, yuh, uh, yeah, yeah, yo, uh
Now that I'm with me, baby, I got them
Got 'em singing the old town blues
Yeah
So what I do? I...

I got down with my bad ass self
I got down with my bad ass self

Everybody got their own plans
Yeah, I waited patient like a doc's lab
Yeah, I graduated from my own past
Every test I was given I passed
I carved my own path
Now I'm in my own class
I committed to the mission
Tunnel vision, take a listen, every instrument
With my own hands
Instrumented my vision, it's my decision
Lack of Afro, light pigment

If it was up to me I'd be the only thing in my dreams, it's true
Got my own two legs to stand on
Yeah, I got my own back
And now that I'm with me, baby, I got 'em
Got 'em singing the old town blues
So what do I do? I...

I got down with my bad ass self
I got down with my bad ass self

What you call a man with nothing to lose?
Nothing to prove, nothing to stand on
But the toes in his shoes
Nothing to hold on to but the truth and his views
Nothing to stand by but the booth and the fuse
The truth is the fuel to light the venom that he spews
Gospel verse now like I'm stuck in the pews
It's like God just jumped down and chose me as a muse
And said, "Man, what you tryna do?"

I got down with my bad ass self
I got down with my bad ass self
