Norman Sann - Beautifully Wonderful Lyrics

They tell me I was beautifully and wonderfully made
But when I look in the mirror I don't see the same
I see something different-strange
From the time they regurgitated that complement I really wonder what changed
Mmm! Striking! Intriguing
What ingredients did you use to cook this crack that you be spitting on the track brother it's uncanny
Hopefully, I can release my mom from the burden of Tammy
You know flip the script
These man-made confines of a nine to five make me sick
It's a trap
It's a rat race
It's a trip
They pull you in and hit
You with the
Bait and switch
The bait and switch
These tricks ain't for kids
I've seen that same chick on the corner looking to feed her litter by helping the farmer release the seed
We hit the streets to meet our basic needs
But nothing ever get achieved
You could make a hit series with the things we've seen
Seen
Seen
Seen
And it don't get much stranger than this
(No it don't much stranger than this)

You can make a hit series with things that we've seen
It don't get much stranger than this

The pen pallets the freight
The burden weighs heavy on those who wear the crown
Not into bondage but we still tied down
She may be bad but she perfectly good at it
This occasional behavior became a real bad habit

That's why
She gone sell it all to meet the status
Quo
Out there flipping mats yeah that gymnastics
Oh
She got all those issues with her daddy
So
You can really give her what she asking for

You ain't got enough buying power
Your portfolio way too low bro
(Way too low)
(Way too low bro)
I think you're swell

They say I was beautifully and wonderfully made
(Wonderfully made)
But when I look in the mirror I don't see the same thing
(I don't see the same thing)
No
I don't see the same thing
(I don't see the same thing)
No
I don't see the same thing

I see the past
I see the present
I see the future
I see it all
I see the rise
I see the fall
I see how we left Egypt from bondage and wanted to go back when things got hard
But that ain't your call
