Yeah, J Dilla
You see this doo rag?
It represents everything I do bad
It represents the gang member shot up on the front
page news ad (damn)
It's too bad
He wore a doo rag

So now when I wanna get my waves
people ask me if I'm in some gang
No I don't hustle
Maybe you would understand my struggle
if I wore a noose instead of this chain
It's sad that I can't just be me
Without you stereotyping me like an Mp3

I don't care if you are Kunta
Or Martin Luther King or even B. E. T. , you can't get me free
So with this simple piece of black cloth
Laying down my hair like grease, I'm mad lost (I don't get it)
How did this become a symbol of a black man
out to do another man harm
You see this doo rag?
It represents everything I do bad
It's real talk

This black woman told me take off my rag
Cause I look like a hood, well that's too bad
Cause that's too simple for me
How the hell you justify a black cloth as a symbol of me
Your snake belly comments are that low
The same thing was said when the Black Panthers rocked afros
If it's a black thing

Or a hood thing
It's not viewed as a good thing and that's known
You see this doo rag?
It represents everything we do bad
Yeah. J-Dilla. Rest in Peace
Remember. Forever. Thanks for the Donuts
