[Intro: B.o.B & Police Officer]
How you doing sir?
Hey how you doing?
Good. Real quick man, reason why I stopped you, you know it's a 55, you're doing 91
Uh, I-
What's the hurry man?
I'm taking my girl out on a date tonight
You don't got any more marijuana in the car do you?
Nah
No, you smoke it all?
Yup
Alright, what I'm gonna get you to do, is just uh, don't- don't touch that gun, alright man?
Alright
Will you just step on out here real quick with me, okay?
Alright
[Hook]
I don't make the rules
I just break the rules
Best stay in tune
Cause I'm breaking news
I pay my dues
I done paid my dues
Can't tell me shit
Don't know you dudes
[Verse 1]
I'm so Un-Traditional, you so regular, you so basic, you so unoriginal
Not a second go by that I'm not offending you
They say "Bob ain't Hip-Hop" I don't know why, I guess it must be the stage name
Now put me on the track with any M.C., motherfucker know you better bring your A-Game
And they say I need to clean my lyrics, to a child it sounds suggestive
Okay, I do that when the fucking government stops harbouring child molestors
In a time when you could be face down arrested, and get shot if you sound aggressive
And here I go
Trying to break through to the troubled youth but I guess I can't cause your child was sheltered
How protective is too protective
How neglected is too neglected
How every year it's a new Flu Epidemic
How every year it's a new terrorist group with nuclear weapons
Can't be coincidental, orchestrated like an instrumental
If you use your mental, life ain't complicated, this shit is usually simple
[Hook]
I don't make the rules
I just break the rules
Best stay in tune
Cause I'm breaking news
I pay my dues
I done paid my dues
Can't tell me shit
Don't know you dudes
[Verse 2]
Owe you shit? I don't owe you shit
And you know that shit, and you know that shit
I won't Coexist with no bogus bitch
Poof, be gone, Hocus Pocus bitch
Got no time for clown ass niggas
Chatty Patty full of gossip niggas
Word on the street, you a bottom nigga
Old private party illuminati member
Bobby don't give no fucks, oh no
Talk all that shit on the photo, Top all that shit on the timeline
When they see me they still want a photo
I call that free promo
This shit is amazing, this is the awakening
History in the making
They want me to behave but I can't cause I can not be bought
There is not a journey that can not be sought
I plan to embark
Is there light at the end of the ship (?)
How can we evolve?
A nation of children that can not be taught
They say this shit is just cannabis talk, but without it my thoughts are just crammed in a vault
[Hook]
I don't make the rules
I just break the rules
Best stay in tune
Cause I'm breaking news
I pay my dues
I done paid my dues
Can't tell me shit
Don't know you dude
[Outro:]
No ticket?
Nope
Aw
Praise the lord!
