Agony Video (MV)

I don't want the television to make up my mind

And I don't want you to tell me what to do

And I don't want kids getting pregnant at fifteen

And I don't want you to keep stealin my shit



And I don't need sugar or salt or water or bone

And I don't survive of money you loan

And I don't want people to cry because they're lonely

And I don't wanna die too soon from the bottle

And I don't want you to keep changin' the channel

And I don't wanna grab the mic unless the crowd hype

I don't want drugs to take over your life

And I don't doubt that tonight is the night



[Chorus: repeat 2X]

I don't want my radio without fresh batteries

and all the other radios are tryin'a battle me

But I throw on my pumas, and then I'm fine

No radio gets louder than mine!



I don't wanna become a fashion victim

What I don't want is for TV to inflict'em

And what I don't want, people to worship the almighty dollar

I don't want to see broke MC's and [cold collars]

I don't want you to tell me what to do

And I don't want them to call it technicolor

when it's only shades of red that's fillin up your head

And I don't want you to ... till I'm dead

And I don't want them to judge me like a book

And I don't want life not to take a second look

I don't want a choregrapher to teach me how to dance

I don't wanna make another record without an advance

I don't want a formula, the same pattern

And I don't want to mimic or be a walking gimmick

And I don't want you people just to stand there

But what I do want you to do is yell like you don't care!



[Chorus]



I don't wanna be anyone but me

And I don't want to be addicted to love and tragedy

I don't wanna face it, or retrace it

I don't wanna Laugh Out Loud and have to replace it

I don't want questions enough everyday

And I don't know how long I could live this way

I don't wanna be lazy, broken, and unmotivated

And I don't wanna be like Mick Jagger, and just imitated!

I don't wanna be forgotten, when I'm rotten

I don't wanna live this lifestyle, California wild child

I don't wanna be - living in agony

Orchestrated b-boy screams!!!



It's like that

Check it out



[Chorus]
