"I Don't Care" lyrics - ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT

I always try to Iron out all the Dramatic things
Work out all the wrinkles And yet and still the Static clings
Dudes I used to be cool with see my cool whip
Envy is all they seem to have inside their Tool kit

To top it off, They see my acres of land, green grass spans with a lake view
They think I'm still rolling in doe like back in 92
I tell em, I bought property, check my bars in achen for acres must I remind you

But that's not as sexy
I'm still a nigga to this country never been a Becky
My good hair is natty & nappy Corporate nah
Never saw me in khakis
Im surrounded by White in the music world like Black Keys

Sometimes it's only Whites and Asians thats supporting me.
I can shout revolution but only people with free minds can fathom a non latchkey solution
To live or die by your own grit and constitution

I didn't make the rules
And all these people with a ruler
Trying to measure my life
But I'm just inching through
You can be judge & jury baby boo
I don't care
I didn't make the rules
And all these people with a ruler
Trying to measure my life
And I'm just inching through

I'm just trying to live my life
I'm just trying to live my life my life my life my life
The best I can

Making the best moves trying to stay true
Making mistakes of course learning and changing the chorus
I'm just trying to live my life my life my life
The best I can

Swaying evergreens and super tall oak trees
They know I'm fire already why Try to stoke me?
Most see my inner hippy -
Make love not war -
That's what I'm here for
Don't make me Buy a Green piece

To match with my bongo wrap by rasa don
Cruising in my Jeep on the type of Strips that Gaza's on

Stand back, get back, I bar u like a Kit Kat
Snap on you like a ball cap
Or I'd rather we just Chit chat
But inevitably
U give em enough rope - the clash
Is bound to happen like socks we Mitch match
I guess I get that
When someone matches your energy you need to guard that
Like a head in a Hard hat - the hard facts is
I'm too old to and that said too cold
Blooded I'd rather avoid rubbish
Invite you to my home and knead my own dough
Got bread in the oven
Can't we have a civil discussion?

I didn't make the rules
And all these people with a ruler
Trying to measure my life
But I'm just inching through
You can be judge & jury baby boo
I don't care
I didn't make the rules
And all these people with a ruler
Trying to measure my life
And I'm just inching through
Making the best moves trying to stay true
Making mistakes of course learning and changing the course
I'm just trying to live my life my life my life my life
The best I can

Try to sue me and defame to the lawyers its just a game
If our friendship goes up in flames
To them its just the same
And greed and deceit among thieves they've been trained by the Black law dictionary
Sovereignty is their claim
But we were sovereign
Making audio documents
Slaying countries and continents
Living life that others wish
Almost 3 and half years trying to get a deal
And only 2 and half years having some real mass appeal
Jesus take the wheel - we unfortunately had contrasting skills
So we separated, lack of motivation
Another black promising organization
Lost in translation
As if I was the villain - that's the story that's painted
I know we were all tainted - I say I don't care
But obviously I do - my broken heart hasn't healed or soothed
I was in my twenties, now I'm fifty two
Life is an hour glass sand steady sifting through

I didn't make the rules
And all these people with
A ruler trying to measure my life
