Nwigwe, Tobe - I'M DOPE (NPR MUSIC'S TINY DESK CONCERT) Lyrics

[David Michael Wyatt:]
Most these sheeple move like clones
That's why I be on my own
My mama thought I was a joke
But Miss Badu told me I'm dope
Yeah, I'm dope
Yeah, yeah, I'm dope
Miss Badu told me I'm

Most these sheeple move like clones
That's why I be on my own
My mama thought I was a joke
But Miss Badu told me I'm dope
Yeah, I'm dope
Yeah, yeah, I'm dope
Miss Badu told me I'm

[Tobe Nwigwe:]
And I know it
You can't tell me nothing else
That's why every beat I'm on is water and I'm Michael Phelps
Told my partnas "get yo bread up, but that dope don't equal wealth"
But you can't help all yo partnas, unless you done helped yourself

So I need more than kudos and a high-five
'Cause I went from sidelines to the limelight
And I shine bright, ice cold, bars Klondike
And I never moved with the white
This ain't blindside (ouu)
Finite, but you feel the spirit
Whole flow shine like, soul glow
Every lyric (soul glow)
Skin cocoa so most popo fear it
Nine like Rondo on my clothes
When I pivot
Ouu

[David Michael Wyatt:]
Most these sheeple move like clones (move like clones)
That's why I be on my own (I be on my own)
My mama thought I was a joke (she thought I was a joke)
But Dave Chapelle told me, I'm dope
Yeah, I'm dope
Yeah, yeah, I'm dope
Dave Chapelle told me I'm

Most these sheeple move like clones
That's why I be on my own
My mama thought I was a joke
But Miss Badu told me I'm dope
Yeah, I'm dope
Yeah, yeah, I'm dope
Miss Badu told me I'm
