Information on the rapper
Stevland Hardaway Morris, better known by his stage name, Stevie Wonder, was born under the name Stevland Hardaway Judkins on May 13th, 1950, in Saginaw, Michigan. He is a blind singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist, who is considered one of the most critically and commercially successful musical performers of the late 20th century.
Wonder signed with Motown's Tamla label at the age of 11, and he would continue performing and recording for Motown until 2020, when he began to release music under his own vanity label, So What the Fuss Records. Some of Wonder's best-selling songs include "Superstition", "You Are the Sunshine of My Life", "Higher Ground", "Boogie on Reggae Woman", "Sir Duke", and "I Wish". Another of his hits, the 1981 single "Happy Birthday", helped popularize the successful campaign to make Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s birthday a national holiday.
Wonder has recorded more than 30 U.S. top ten hits, received 25 Grammy Awards, and sold over 100 million records worldwide, making him one of the most-awarded male solo artists and one of the top 60 best-selling music artists.
Lyrics
Verse 1:
I feel like this is the beginning, (ohhh!)
But you have sucked for a few thousand years!
(Hey!) I'm a man who comes from a higher ground,
(Hoo!) And I say DC is a whole step down!
I've been spitting out hits since both Fingertips,
So use the tip of your fingers and read my lips!
How you gonna talk about a bat being blind? (Why?)
You need to echo-relocate to the 4th of July
Because you're Ms. Independent, or at least you try,
But your first story is you, running off with a guy!
(Okay!) Now let me tell the truth 'cause I know you got the lasso!
You got that wack flow! Suffering Sappho!
I'm the ceremony master blaster with the bars,
And I got more Grammys than your panties got stars!
Verse 2:
Your ignorant questions could never cause as much pain
As never knowing how stupid you look in your airplane!
You're a misguided, C-minus-on-the-Bechdel test joke,
And my worst song is better than your best TV show!
Verse 3:
You couldn't walk in my shoes, so stick to your re-boots,
With plots so thin even I can see through!
It's not a superstition; I believe you got dissed!
Not even your tiara's coming back from this! (Yeah! Haha!)
Scrapped lyrics and lyric ideas
I'm a D, you're a C, you're a whole step down!
You got the stars and the stripes all up in your tailpiece!
You look bad; that's what the Superman tells me!
I stick to the truth 'cause I know you got the lasso!
I'm the ceremony master blaster with the rhymes,
And they're sealed and signed and delivered on time!
- Bechdel test (You're gonna fail - you couldn't? pass?)
- Amazon Prime
- Double D's under your double W's
- Plane? To me, E'THING is invisible!
- Lass with a lasso
- The wonder twins in your wonder bra
- …you can't spot, like a cheetah
- A whole step down from me: D.C.
