I don't want to be normal
I don't want to be you
I learned at an early age most of the lies are true
I could die
I could live
Do you really care?
After all I chose this
Knowing it's never fair
And success equals stress
I've said that how many times?
I put aside all of my feelings
Ones that never subside
And learned to love what I hate
Hate has taught me to love
I stopped caring in between what it is and it was
This is all that I have
A pair of hands and some eyes
A depiction that I've cemented
My incomparable grind
I tried to take you inside
I let you into my soul
You think that I was playin when I made Fiona Apple?
I lived through all of those rhymes
And I accepted the risk
People thought it was over
"Black Liquid. His chick
Had him head over sober
He did it all for a b****?"
Imagine me wearing sandals
In some shorts takin trips
Life's a beach and I'm sure
Like the sands and the sky's
That the bottom makes the top
That you fall just to fly
[Hook]
I wish
Sometimes that I could cry
That I would just die
Sometimes I wonder why
I always knew that I would end up this way
So I write just to dull the pain
Novakane
I wish
Sometimes that I could cry
That I would just die
Sometimes I wonder why
I always knew that I would end up this way
So I write just to dull the pain
Novakane
[Verse 2]
Me and BANDOLERO talk about this s*** all the time
He get drunk, he get high, doesn't mean he ain't wise
After all it was his father taught us both 99
Percent is much harder than
100
No lie
See its just like a mirror once the fog disappear
You see yourself nothing else
No vocation no fear
I recorded all these albums
Just to say I was here
No job, my epilogue I created career
Teaching kids throwing shows
Radio
I appear
Standards and principles
Many rules to adhere
Persevere and survive
Like my Pops this is life
I'm up, every night
Doing s*** that ain't right
I run the streets
Calisthenics
In the morning bring peace
And turmoil
When I sweat I swear I hear my skin scream
I'm all about a choice
Just as much a chance
That's why I'm still around
Never first nor last
I outlast and surpass
I am not my past
I'm the future undefined
I'm the laugh heard last
[Hook]
