It ain't the big lips, it ain't the nose
It ain't your kinky hair or your clothes
It ain't your dreadlocks hanging or the way that you walk
It ain't the smell, it ain't the black
White people might probably learn to live with that
But if you wanna know [bad word] I tell you what else is I saw

It's the attitude, stupid
It's what's inside your brain
It's the attitude, stupid - Ain't you ever gonna change
You keep thinking everything is black and white
Don't you know the difference between wrong and right
It's the attitude, stupid - We don't owe you a thing

It ain't your looks and that's a fact
It ain't your [bad word] riding up on your back
It ain't the way you say "all right" when you spell out a word
It's the things you say and you do
Thinking might people still owe something to you
Well, listen to me [bad word]  this is something you've never heard

It's the attitude, stupid
It's what's inside your brain
It's the attitude, stupid
Ain't you ever gonna change
You keep thinking everything is black and white
Don't you know the difference between wrong and right
It's the attitude, stupid - We don't owe you a thing

Hey it's the attitude, stupid -We don't owe you a thing
