Gather 'round children, I got a tale to tell ya
|
|
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 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 lettin' someone else
|
Do your thinkin' for you
|
When they haven't got a clue
|
But you can't relive the hype, don't ya see?
|
'Cause I got a special answer meant just for me
|
Somewhere in my immediate vicinity
|
|
And if there's time enough to get it
|
Then in time I'm gonna get it
|
'Cause I am the Individualist
|
|
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 ya see?
|
'Cause I got a special answer meant just for me
|
Somewhere in my immediate vicinity
|
|
And if there's time enough to find it
|
Then in time I'm gonna find it
|
'Cause I am the Individualist
|
|
Here comes the Individualist
|
Yes I am, the Individualist
|
