[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]
