The Individualist

Lyrics

[Intro] Gather 'round children, I got a tale to tell you [Verse 1] There was a time when I couldn't bust a rhyme Had yet to hit my prime 'Cause my mind was such a young mind And first you got to unwind The mystery of your soul, it's like a black hole The gravity is too thick You got to learn to lighten up a bit It's such a frightening thing to realize Every time you close your eyes You been cut down to size 'Cause you're stuck with yourself Ain't nobody else in there to compare yourself to It's just you And then you ask yourself, "What's it all about?" So you try to figure it out And that's when you'll be tempted to believe foolish things And deceive yourself by letting someone else Do your thinking for you When they haven't got a clue But you can't relive the hype, don't you see? 'Cause I got a special answer meant just for me Somewhere in my immediate vicinity [Pre-Chorus] And if there's time enough to get it Then in time I'm gonna get it If there's time enough to get it Then in time I'm gonna get it [Chorus] 'Cause you know I am the individualist Yes I am the individualist I am the individualist I'm the individualist Yes I am the individualist I am the individualist You know I am the individualist I'm the individualist [Verse 2] Check my references Wherever you are now you know I been there, done that Don't need to sling the scat 'cause my resume' is too fat Change my name to some funky fresh dingbat Like "the artist formerly known as TR-i" I got to laugh when they try to figure out what it's all about And they doubt that I'm so devout But it's something I can do without I got to know why I wanna know what I wanna know Why do I go where the others won't go? My eye is on the prize that's in disguise That you can only theorize, but I can utilize To rise above the lies about reality 'Cause you can't relive the hype don't you see? I got a special answer meant just for me Somewhere in my immediate vicinity [Pre-Chorus] And if there's time enough to find it Then in time I'm gonna find it If there's time enough to find it Then in time I'm gonna find it [Chorus] 'Cause I still am the individualist Yes I am the individualist I am the individualist I'm the individualist Yes I am the individualist I am the individualist Yes I am the individualist I'm the individualist [Outro] Check my references - the individualist You'll see I'm the individualist Yes I am the individualist I'm the individualist Here come the individualist Here come the individualist Here come the individualist Here come the individualist Here come the individualist Here come the individualist Here come the individualist Here come the individualist [Instrumental interlude] Here we go everybody the individualist Yes I am the individualist You know I am the individualist I'm the individualist Yes I am the individualist Check it out the individualist Yes I am the individualist I'm the individualist Yes I am the individualist The individualist I still am the individualist I'm the individualist Yes I am the individualist The individualist The individualist I'm the individualist And if there's time enough to get it Then in time I'm gonna get it If there's time enough to get it Then in time I'm gonna get it 'Cause I am I am Yes I am I still am You know I am Guess what I am I am
