| [00:02.64] |
|
| [00:07.53] |
I'm the last of a dying breed, |
| [00:10.81] |
Meaning that I'm not afraid to try new things, |
| [00:13.15] |
Can't see me best to get yourself some Visine, |
| [00:15.70] |
Toe tag a motherfucker no jokes, |
| [00:17.70] |
While these other niggas wakka wakka |
| [00:19.29] |
Other rappers try and go and get over |
| [00:21.18] |
You want that hood shit best to go and call Hova |
| [00:23.46] |
I was a good kid, backpack on my shoulder |
| [00:25.91] |
98 test score in my Thundercat folder |
| [00:28.30] |
My cousin was older |
| [00:29.65] |
My momma used to wake up, |
| [00:30.91] |
Drive me to a school cause the school was much safer |
| [00:33.12] |
But I slipped up and accidentally told a teacher |
| [00:35.61] |
Now I'm going to a school where I get beat up because |
| [00:37.96] |
I ain't get down with them other kids |
| [00:40.16] |
Probably cause I talk too white and I got a dad who's there |
| [00:42.55] |
Momma couldn't take it, |
| [00:43.45] |
Sold the place and got us out of there |
| [00:45.00] |
Guest room, now the six of us splitting one with a restroom |
| [00:47.86] |
Now I'm going to this school called Rock Ridge |
| [00:50.30] |
School of the neighborhood we tryna buy a house in |
| [00:52.61] |
There's not a lot of black kids, |
| [00:54.01] |
So I stick out like a sore thumb with some bad acne, |
| [00:56.26] |
But really |
| [00:57.40] |
What I wanna know is why I never fit in right |
| [00:59.55] |
Like a fat dude getting on a packed flight |
| [01:02.10] |
Even when I make friends in the hallways |
| [01:04.45] |
I'm wishing I was someone else always |
| [01:06.80] |
But I'm happy that that shit happened to me |
| [01:09.11] |
Cause it taught me most important is to do me |
| [01:11.50] |
Cause everybody hates you till they love you |
| [01:13.46] |
Facebook niggas same niggas that would shove you |
| [01:15.69] |
Cause nobody was jocking my style |
| [01:17.94] |
I had a high voice, they called me faggot eight mile |
| [01:20.44] |
So I stopped writing for a very long time |
| [01:22.53] |
Thinkin' that a nigga wasn't made to bust rhymes |
| [01:25.18] |
And this next part, sounds like nonsense |
| [01:27.85] |
But I swear to God, Tina Fey gave me confidence |
| [01:30.51] |
Taught me everything that is good comes from honesty |
| [01:32.79] |
Everybody's got a voice, you just gotta follow it |
| [01:35.03] |
She on a role model shit |
| [01:36.39] |
From the day that I shook her hand |
| [01:38.19] |
I knew that I'd never die a broke man |
| [01:40.45] |
So I could try this rapping shit out again |
| [01:42.80] |
The game need change, |
| [01:44.19] |
I'm a part of it |
| [01:45.19] |
People tell me I should spit under Donald Glover |
| [01:47.70] |
But I try to keep my real name undercover |
| [01:49.89] |
Cause if you hear my name, then you think it's jokes |
| [01:52.39] |
And I can't go for that, nigga Hall and Oates |
| [01:54.83] |
My nigga stay down like a winter coat |
| [01:56.98] |
I rap about my life not "I'm On A Boat" |
| [01:59.45] |
Cause this joke rap shit's gotten out of hand |
| [02:01.85] |
Only ones who do it well's Lonely Island |
| [02:04.25] |
Save the raps about your cat, I am not a fan |
| [02:06.49] |
Leave the joke raps alone, man I'm working here |
| [02:09.13] |
I do not play around with this bullshit, |
| [02:11.37] |
I am different, call it new shit |
| [02:13.68] |
Labels want me to hurry and cash my check in |
| [02:16.14] |
But I keep my shit free till the last possible second |
| [02:18.28] |
Cause God knows that I don't need the money |
| [02:20.64] |
You get your clothes free when you rich, ain't it funny? |
| [02:23.15] |
But this limelight burn like a motherfuck |
| [02:25.78] |
I wanna call my dad crying but I hang up |
| [02:28.09] |
Cause I don't want him to worry, he's got his own shit |
| [02:30.44] |
So I send him a check and tell him to hold it |
| [02:32.39] |
If anything ever happens want you to know this |
| [02:35.13] |
I always took the time to smell the roses |
| [02:37.58] |
And wherever I am, I am doing fine |
| [02:40.09] |
I'm here for a good, not a long, time |
| [02:43.08] |
|
