I tried 2 tell them that I didn't want 2 sing

But I'd gladly write a song instead

They said okay and everything was cool

'Til a camera tried 2 get in my bed



Hello My bed Hello Hello



I was sittin' pretty with a beautiful friend ("Oh darling")

When this man tries 2 get in the car

("'Ey Prince, c'mon, give us a smile eh?")

No introduction, "How U been?"

Just "Up yours, smile, that's right, you're a star!" (Star)



U call 'em bodyguards but I call 'em my friends

I guess I'm used 2 havin' 'em around

And cameras by nature like rewards

That's the trouble I get when I'm Uptown



I'm not afraid to die (Don't be afraid)

Oh no, there's a better place ('Cuz there's a better place 2 go)

I eat what I want (U can eat what U want)

Whole wheat toast (Anything is cool in moderation)

And I'm happy, and that's for sure



We're against hungry children

Our record stands tall

There's just as much hunger here at home



We'll do what we can

If y'all try and understand

A flower that has water will grow

And the child misunderstood will go
