Like I’m Supposed To

[Verse 1]
I ain't never been one to follow suit
I ain't never been one to follow crowds
I ain't never been one to dodge the truth
I ain't gon' apologize for being proud
My confidence never one to lack
I been patting myself up on the back
Always knew exactly what I wanted
Wouldn't hop in that train, no I won't track
There was never no white picket fences
It's a world war me, I'm in the trenches
Been a soldier, I'm digging in the ditches
Though some real shit attended to my businеss
Got it taking every inch of my interеst
Say I'm intriguing, I'm mysterious
Yeah I'm a real one, you take me serious
Yeah this is my life though

[Chorus]
I ain't never seen things like I'm supposed to
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
And I know, and I know, and I know
I ain't never bow down like I'm supposed to
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
And I know, and I know, and I know
Had American Dream like I'm supposed to
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
And I know, and I know, and I know
I ain't never seen things like I'm supposed to
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
And I know, and I know, and I know
Had American Dream like I'm supposed to

[Verse 2]
My eyes closed like Mike at the free throw
And I try to shed life for the people
Nigga, I been here tight since [?]
Now the circle getting smaller than a peephole
But I still show up for the Uso's
If you gon' fuck up, nigga you slow
Now everybody out here rap with Joey Cool though
I'm 'bout as cool as an outdoor pool, hoe
Man these niggas ain't real like Pluto
One nigga, but I spit like two though
I don't need no applause, no kudos
Real nigga rap raw, nigga you know
Went to Chicago and found me a studio
Lowkey I'm giving up on the courses
Ran through the noises like forests
Now these niggas got me feeling I'm important

[Chorus]
I ain't never seen things like I'm supposed to
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
And I know, and I know, and I know
I ain't never bow down like I'm supposed to
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
And I know, and I know, and I know
Had American Dream like I'm supposed to
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
And I know, and I know, and I know
I ain't never seen things like I'm supposed to
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
And I know, and I know, and I know
Had American Dream like I'm supposed to

[Interlude]
When you know that the infinite intelligence of the universe exists
You can tune into it and draw anything from it

[Verse 3]
I could expose every single piece of life
But that can never be the means to make it right
'Cause ain't nobody finna leave this Earth a virgin
Life fucks people every day and night
I had to roll up my sleeves to see the light
Now everybody believing me alright
I ain't never look back without a consequence
And I never had believing high
I ain't never seen things like I'm supposed to
And it might seem I'm being boastful
But I bust my ass to live a dream
So I can live a dream of being local
The American Dream like I'm supposed to
With the white picket fence, two dogs in collars
I'm just being Joey C like I'm supposed to
So add a little singing to the ballers

[Chorus]
I ain't never seen things like I'm supposed to
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
And I know, and I know, and I know
I ain't never bow down like I'm supposed to
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
And I know, and I know, and I know
Had American Dream like I'm supposed to
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
And I know, and I know, and I know
I ain't never seen things like I'm supposed to
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
And I know, and I know, and I know
Had American Dream like I'm supposed to
