Yeah, I saw the sign in the window, for the job
|
Yeah I got a high school education, but that's all
|
Skills? You wanna know if I got some skills?
|
Yeah I got some skills
|
This goes out to all my friends
|
|
What you gonna be when you grown up?
|
I'm all grown up and still don't know what
|
I might throw up, I rock a tow-truck
|
Long as it means that I can get old and post up
|
I used to be a typical winner
|
Living off the gratuity from delivering your dinner
|
Cause as a kid, I didn't consider
|
that I would get the opportunity to be a full-time spitter
|
I love this occupation
|
I got bosses across the nation
|
Validation is an understatement
|
and I don't really know how to take a vacation
|
My kind don't have any free time
|
I'm so distracted, but everything's fine
|
I speak shine and I read signs
|
Appreciate your opinion but this dream's mine
|
It's all love, we're cool
|
But you don't tell a cowboy what to do
|
I was the ugly kid that didn't listen
|
Little big man full of ambition
|
Based on imagination, just like you
|
Daydreaming, thinking bout the things I might do
|
I used to paint, draw and illustrate
|
Mom would facilitate and it would feel okay
|
Seems like yesterday still plays a part
|
When I grow up, I wanted a job making art
|
Picture that, how many years old?
|
Young enough to mix up love with career goals
|
But I was just this tall when they told me
|
that the world was mine, but the papers weren't signed
|
There's no deed, so proceed to go seed
|
up the whole piece like it owes me groceries
|
Don't breathe until you formally know me
|
Won't leave? Better call authorities
|
It's all love, we're cool
|
But you tell an astronaut what to do
|
The turntables stole my heart
|
Burnt the paintbrush, broke it apart
|
I miss it, I might revisit
|
But I wasn't that good, I admit it, maybe you can't tell
|
But as a kid, I wanted to be Melle Mel
|
And later as a teenager I wanted to be LL
|
Then I discovered weed and I wanted to be Del
|
But thank God eventually I found myself
|
It's funny when I bump into fools
|
I used to go to school with, and they ask what I'm doing
|
Half of the time I want to crack a lie
|
But fuck it, I'm still a wannabe rapper guy
|
Hahaha, yeah I guess that it seems that way
|
I get to see the world, and it's decent pay
|
As long as somebody want to see us play
|
I wake up every morning and I seize the day
|
It's all love, we're cool
|
But you don't tell the president what to do
|
|
It's like that y'all, it's like this y'all
|
I don't get to call in sick y'all
|
