[verse 1]What the fuck do y’all niggas really want?I went with realness insteadBut all the real niggas I know either crazy or deadYeah, I dropped the free ep for these other kids to feel a lotNiggas keep asking on whether this dude’s for real or notI’m not trying to come hard, I’m trying to come meThat’s why these older songs that I used to make I’d release freeWhat’s the point of rap if you can’t be yourself, huh?That’s why I come first like my cell phoneI’m a role model, I am not these other guysI rap about my dick and talk about what girls is flyI know it’s dumb, that’s the fucking reason I’m doing itSo why does everyone have a problem with talking stupid shit?Or is it real shit?‘cause sometimes that stupid shit is real shitLike when you make out with your best friend’s baby sisYou know the one with short hair you used to babysit?See, that’s not even rightYou with a different girl like each and every fucking nightAnd kiss her while she’s sleeping and sneak out the front to catch a flightThat’s not life, dudeIt's just making up for fucks I missed in high schoolI keep it wrapped until I meet the right one’cause I ain’t mumford, I ain’t tryin’ to have sonsAll I wanted was some more like ashtonI ain’t the coolest but I know I got passionI got passion![hook]I really wanna do right and it doesn’t matterWe’ve got all the shine we need to findI really wanna do right and it doesn’t matterWe’ve got all the shine we need to find“baby, I’m okay.” she said, “why you gotta act so strange?”I said, “baby, I’m okay.” she said, “why you gotta act so strange?”I said, “baby, I’m okay.” she said, “why you gotta act so strange?”“baby, I’m okay.” she said, “why you gotta act so strange?”[verse: 2]I serious? I don’t even knowAre you hearing this? this shit is laughableI ain’t trying, I’m doing, these other rappers are foolishI got fame, my a&r’s a computerIs there room in the game for a lame who rhymes?Who wears short-shorts and makes jokes sometimes?My nigga like, “I’d get you mtv if I could, manBut pitchfork only likes rappers who crazy or hood, man”So, I guess we gon' seeI ain’t curren$y, but if there ain’t money in my name please murder meSometimes I feel like I ain't supposed to be hereSometimes I wake up, I don't want to be hereMy mom loved to text me psalm versesShe don’t look at me like I’m the same personI used to be the sweet one, but things changeAnd I don’t want them missing a son like bone’s last nameAnd all my uncles alcoholics, shame on meI drink whiskey till I’m grounded, no tvI wanna go inside the club with no gold pieceAnd walk in with no I.d. and no I.dNo matter how far the hood seemsWe all still got hood dreamsI always wanted to get picked on the cool teamBut alone is exactly how I should be[hook]I really wanna do right and it doesn’t matterWe’ve got all the shine we need to findI really wanna do right and it doesn’t matterWe’ve got all the shine we need to findWe really wanna do right and it doesn’t matterWe’ve got all the shine we need to findWe really wanna do right and it doesn’t matterWe’ve got all the shine we need to findWe need to findWe need to find“baby, I’m okay.” she said, “why you gotta act so strange?”I said, “baby, I’m okay.” she said, “why you gotta act so strange?”
