Lyrics

Some people say it's easy for me, but the lyrics only Portray a side of me that seems adoring of a stereotypical picture that the people drawing Yeah, root for the underdog, misfit, who's feeling lonely Give him rap music so now he can speak his story But I don't speak a story of the need to feel important I don't write these words down to get you to feel for me Don't get me wrong, I was always having people ignore me I was socially off, and used to feel like the only, person I could speak to was myself…… So I pursued a passion that's never leavin' me lonely I just like to rhyme, that's the truth, that's the real story And I could stay on this beat until the beat owns me A song with no chorus, call that freefalling Now I'm at the top of the game, look what my life's become If rap is a ladder, then I guess I'm on the highest rung And homie, I could keep this flow goin' 'til my mind is numb You can call me crazy, but I've always kinda liked it off Been that way since I was just a kid, livin' life alone Everyday at school, just wishin' instead that I was home And I would explain, but you'd never understand Truth is, I don't really wanna make you understand There's few people who know me, who really get who I am So I just take a look around and thank God for the ones can It's just me, myself, and all a y'all. and I'm lovin' that So let's kill 'em with hip-hop, makin' 'em understand That every lyric is a weapon, this ain't just another rap So I'll fight for the moment, it's my time to own it It's my time to show that I'll never quit 'til it's over So you all can shut up, this music is my story You never listened to me, you missed out when I told it So now it's too late, I don't give a hater a second chance Mama told me never look back, just forget your past You can never change nothin,' you can never get it back So I'm runnin' for the finish and I ain't regrettin' that I fight 'til it hurts, and I fight through the worst I never settle for second, I only fight to be first I'm just that kid in his bed, writin' songs in the black One light on the page, one night, one chance Starin' at my shadow on the wall with a pen Tryin' to make a rhyme outta everything in my head Tryin' to make sense outta nothin' that makes sense Tryin' to figure out why I was always treated cruel Gettin' bullied at school, by the badass of the group Just cause I was never cool, didn't play by the rules Never followed the sheep, didn't stick with the brood Was laughed at for bein' gifted, for tryin' to make a livin' It's no wonder why they say that everybody's a critic In a world full of hate, I'd rather have forgiveness So I can show everybody the real reason I'm in this Hold up, rewind it, Im'ma take you back now Listen up, cause it's finally time that I stand out I was just a kid, strugglin' to survive Nobody ever thought that I was gonna make it in life But I kept on strivin', to keep on writin' Every time I fell, I, kept on fightin' Man I had regrets, but I kept on tryin' No let's say I was a stand up guy Never failed, a straight A student my whole life I never smoked pot and I never got high Now let's say, my brain wasn't messed up from drugs I was never seen drunk, or smokin' a blunt And sellin' weed at my school, it's no wonder I flunked And nobody understood, why I couldn't give it up Like when I was on kush, it was only for fun When I was hangin' from the ceiling with a rope around my neck I wasn't just a little pissed, I was so full of regret So you can blame me, play me, I'll still stay me I don't need the crowd, so go ahead, hate me Man, I'm just glad that, I can be different I'm ok with the fact that, I'm a social misfit I don't care if I'm the guy, that no one can put up with You thought I was off, cause I never did what you punks did But I could prove you wrong with every song I come up with I'm rappin' with vengeance, call that poetic justice Now let's take it back again, to the 6th grade class I was sittin' in the back, with a notebook in my hand And the teacher's yellin' at me, "Don't think I can't see yo' ass!" "You need to be focusing," I was hopin' she wouldn't notice me So I just held up my paper and said, "I'm takin' notes, see, it, ain't homework But it's the only thing that's holdin' me, together, when I'm walkin' through my whole life hopelessly And the only witness to it is a bedroom full of poetry If I died in my sleep tonight, I'd die as a lonely freak So when I pull the trigger, see if anyone's noticing If anyone even cares about the loser who's socially messed up And totally dysfunctional, but I ain't changin' a thing, I'll only be Myself, that's the only person I'm ever gonna be And you arrogant haters don't understand an anomaly You're talkin' like you think that you're better and over me But who are you to talk? The same people that smokin' weed And gettin' high, snortin' cocaine 'til your noses bleed Every night on the streets, slangin' and gangbangin' I remember as a kid, always havin' to be bracin' For the worst, all the doctors told me I wouldn't make it But now I'm livin' proof that the hopeless can rise to greatness
