Intro
G C Bm A
G C Bm
verse 1
G C
I know why they call them labels
Bm A
Because you have to fit a label now to fit a label
G C
But If I'm a pussy, then I guess I did my kegels
Bm A
I got it on lox, I'll bring the bagels
G C
It kind of feels like middle school again when they call
Bm A
I think the majors can't decide if I'll come play ball
G C
If I can make them money If I can dumb my shit
Bm A
down enough or do the dance I think it's kind of funny
G C
They might be right, I'm shaped different like Toblerone
Bm A
I turned down a quarter mil to pitch a mobile phone
G C
Cause I believed that I can be more and walked away
Bm A
And left my hand up in the air like I just shot the J
G C
White rappers make it quicker if we talk like stars
Bm A
Hit the A-list Cause you puffed on Ls and dropped your Rs
G C
Let's pull some video out of 5th grade pageant
Bm A
And compare the way you talked then to how you're rapping
G C
You think you sound the same?
Bm A
Or that you picked up the way to be real in somewhere TV-Land along the way?
G C
If I just get 15 minutes I'm gonna stay myself
Bm A
And when that 16th minute comes then I won't hate myself
G C
Maybe I'll never get signed I'll fucking flatline
Bm A
But nobody gets to raise a banner during halftime
G C
Win or lose, I always choose myself and place a bid
N.C.
And make the same face on every play like Jason Kidd
G C
It's almost 4AM
Bm A
Monday in my room again
G C
Got a crazy vision of a
Bm A
dream escaping from my pen
G C
I'll be swinging going down
Bm A
Fuck that noise, No way no how
G C
You're listening to this song but I'm
Bm A
working on the next one now
verse 2
G C
If my goals are odd I take as a challenge
Bm A
People seem confused by how I hope to use my talents
G C
Could he be weird Al, could he be Jimmy Fallon?
Bm A
I tell them to imagine Mos Def meets Woody Allen
G C
Haters give me balance. Every Kyle's got a Cartman
Bm A
I know how failure tastes I drink it straight from the carton
G C
I always keep a gallon in the fridge at my apartment
Bm A
To remind me how it feels to drop the ball like Stevie Bartman
G C
Believe me I want to achieve it all by being me
Bm A
It's too easy to be cheesy on TV or DVD
G C
I'm seeking to sneak in, but I'm weeping when I peep the scene
Bm A
Cause I'm knee-deep in it and need a TP roll to keep it clean
G C
I'm digging for a deeper meaning cause beneath this skin is
Bm A
beating the temperamental heaving heart of gentle heathen
G C
If you deceive us, homie that's so sad
Bm A
I'll get more agro than the Aggro Crag
G C
I'm Boney Boney leave me aloney you know me well
Bm A
Don't dwell on that Jabroni just cause that baloney sells
G C
His flow is hole-y like the edge of abalone shells
Bm A
I want to flow holy like matrimony bells
G C
It's almost 4AM
Bm A
Monday in my room again
G C
Got a crazy vision of a
Bm A
dream escaping from my pen
G C
I'll be swinging going down
Bm A
Fuck that noise, No way no how
G C
You're listening to this song but I'm
Bm A
working on the next one now
