lyrics

They Call Me Wizard
But you can call me Wiz
Because I work magic on mics just like it's nobody's biz
Born 1991 in Berlin, Germany
Before you ever heard of me
Before they ever tried to murder me verbally
Mother, gave birth to me
And I turned everything burgundy
When I came out, waving arms and legs about
Now, skip straight to '96
And I'm gettin' my kicks
Playin' games, and make-believe and kickball is my fix
In the back of the school, or even across the street
Not thinkin' about makin' rhymes or a beat
And I'm, still young and everything is alright
When I couldn't tell the difference from the black and the White
Inner city Toledo, is where I be livin'
I'm the, minority and that's just another givin'
Nineteen, ninety-nine and i'm feelin' mighty fine
But my mother's job is kinda rough and gettin' outta line
So I, pack my shit
And I, get with it
Say goodbye to my friends, it's the road we hit
Couldn't help but notice
As we're movin' along
That the faces on the street are lookin' a little wrong
Everything was so white but this meant more to me
As I discovered I was part of the majority.
It was all so different, in other words
Inner city kid moved straight to the suburbs.
2002, and I'm startin' to rap
When Gorillaz put Alternative right back on the map
It's the, Clint Eastwood lyrics that you know i'll be singin'
Every day after class, when the bell will be ringin'
And I, spit em' so much they were memorized
In this, new form of speaking I was mesmerized
And soon enough, right before my eyes
I was spittin' out verbs
Comin' straight from the suburbs
And that's the truth that I hold to this day
It went, black to white but I'm keepin' it grey.
