I'm hollow to the core, yeah my bones are empty
|
No marrow, no mass, but heart I got plenty
|
Though no blood flows through these veins, somethin' is in me
|
Lyndon, Jimmy, Deloris, Jerry and Uncle Ricky
|
My whole family tree 'bout as normal as me
|
Everybody got they own story of what's supposed to be
|
And what could've been, what should've been
|
Should've been led on to the fact that I'm destined to never win
|
How come every record I'm on ends up in the 99 cent bin?
|
Pick it up if you need something to wipe while you're shittin'
|
Can't pipe down, boy, rappers need rippin'
|
I'll never be like Mike or even Scottie Pippen
|
Goofy A&R tell me the elements are missin'
|
Chippin' in his two cents, listen, nothin' is smitten
|
Sittin' on leavin' more brisk than Lypton
|
Nipped in the bud, how come your bomb record was a dud?
|
|
I should reap what I sow,
|
my life is just so ordinary, I'm a ordinary joe
|
On the contrary this a new all-time low
|
This is a new all-time low
|
I should reap what I sow,
|
my life is just so ordinary, I'm a ordinary joe
|
On the contrary this a new all-time low
|
On second thought I get another chance tomorrow
|
|
This plastic life that we fed intravenously
|
The tubes that we watch religiously
|
Not real, nothin' is, nothin' begins without an end
|
This is big business but back to the test again
|
Justice will fail us we must look from within
|
This is the truth, I got the blueprints right here in the booth
|
Is you in? Then jump in, the deadpool is now accepting applications
|
For the nameless and faceless
|
The has-beens and the almost famous
|
Fucked in our anus without a reach-around
|
Reach way down until you found that dark somethin' hidin' out
|
Smoke from my lungs and flush from my liver
|
'Til it slivers out my mouth hole
|
I remember how life was before my downfall
|
Before these wars closed in
|
Soaked in sweat, A.K.A.
|
Hard work'll get you nowhere, don't forget
|
|
A working class hero's nothin' to be
|
Trust me, don't do it, I watched my old man go through it
|
And my whole family live with no respect, we give it
|
Are you here to pay homage are you here to bear witness?
|
Working class hero's nothin' to be
|
Trust me, don't do it, I watched my old man go through it
|
And my whole family live with no respect, we give it
|
Are you here to pay homage are you here to bear witness?
|
|
Smidgeons and digits and acres of paper
|
Negotiations and crunchin' numbers, contracts
|
A new savior has attached to this beat like a serial rapist
|
The girls with short skirts and high heels on they feet
|
You'll never defeat me, I'm a centipede
|
You cut off an end of me but I only grow back stronger
|
There's no remedy
|
Honestly, I never drank hennessy, I can't afford it
|
I only drank forties, lordy lordy
|
No fuckin' bitches'll court me, distort the image of the world
|
But more importantly, there's more to me than meets the eye
|
I cordially invite you into the mind of a ordinary joe
|
with an ordinary name livin' in a ordinary house
|
never see things like fame, or money, bitches and champaigne
|
Your cause are lame, beats are weak and your raps sound the same
|
Ain't a god damned game, stop sayin' it is
|
I break my ribs tryin' to fill in these ad-libs
|
Mad kids can't see with closed eye lids
|
Still, half these MC's don't know who I is
|
|
I should reap what I sow,
|
my life is just so ordinary, I'm a ordinary joe
|
On the contrary this a new all-time low
|
This is a new all-time low
|
I should reap what I sow,
|
my life is just so ordinary, I'm a ordinary joe
|
On the contrary this a new all-time low
|
On second thought I get another chance tomorrow
|
|
A working class hero's nothin' to be
|
Trust me, don't do it, I watched my old man go through it
|
And my whole family live with no respect, we give it
|
Are you here to pay homage are you here to bear witness?
