| When I started out in my momma’s basement
|
| Not a single soul was paying me any mind
|
| High school bad grades, I was a patient and I thought 9th grade was a waste of
|
| my time
|
| Ball is life, my summer vacation
|
| Had jump soles, they were one of a kind
|
| Around a bunch of Crip dudes the only Caucasian in that location but they love
|
| when I rhyme
|
| Product of the environment that I always be in
|
| Even though by bloodline be of Eastern European
|
| Descent, even girls want to see him
|
| I could ball, I could rap, I’m a fly human being
|
| Everybody wanna be him
|
| Everybody wanna, everybody wanna, everybody wanna act like I don’t fit in
|
| Like I am not him like
|
| Like I’m not on a more, carnival things like
|
| No time to pretend like
|
| I care what your friends like
|
| I care what the ends like
|
| I care for the insight
|
| And how to entice my people not to escape
|
| I’d been doing the same thing, I could trace it back to like 8
|
| And I could be getting so caught up in the future, I’m like «wait»
|
| Maybe I should be living more in the moment or maybe I should be more late
|
| Maybe I’ll be more great, hey
|
| My pants are tight, my shoes are clean
|
| My hair is weird, I’m drinking tea
|
| I like it green, little mate
|
| My could be the next
|
| Beleaf, Kendrick and I are now herbal life
|
| I want to lose wait like even more
|
| I don’t really know what the meals are for
|
| Wish I could live off of the Word of life
|
| Maybe I ain’t heard Him right
|
| Yup, I’m that guy
|
| Yup, I’m that guy
|
| Who acknowledges my white privilege but frequently takes advantage of it
|
| I’m just starting to understand it a bit
|
| I’m the white guy who plays basketball better than acoustic guitar
|
| Matter of fact I have no idea how to play the acoustic guitar
|
| I’m that guy who hates hiking, camping and off-roading
|
| But I love trail mix and granola
|
| I’m the type of white guy who prefers Martin and Living Color over Friends and
|
| How I Met Your Mother
|
| And I’m still trying to figure out who Journey is
|
| But I can’t get this Yung Thug song out of my head
|
| I’m that guy who’d be crucified by backpack rappers for all the commercial
|
| songs in my head
|
| I’m the type of white guy who loves fried chicken as long as it’s gluten free,
|
| organic and grass fed
|
| I’m a hybrid who’s mutant free
|
| Yup, I’m that guy
|
| Yup, I’m that guy
|
| Yup, I’m that guy
|
| So I tend to sit in a unique spot
|
| This ain’t hard, I gotta ease drop
|
| Hands up, I never want to be dropped
|
| I’m really hoping you get to meet God
|
| I really hope that we get to speak more
|
| I’m really hoping that I don’t become Eeyore
|
| 'Cuz life ain’t fair by the seashore
|
| But I got me feet up at my leisure
|
| They keep wanting to box me in with no oxygen
|
| And that’s fine 'cause what ever they project on me, I’ll prolly become the
|
| opposite, see
|
| I’m that white guy that talks about police brutality on my timeline
|
| Like, oh I’m sorry did I kill your vibe
|
| At least your still alive
|
| Is it okay if I share my mind
|
| No really, is it okay if I share my mind then
|
| The American dream for me may be my nightmare
|
| Cash in on my white privilege
|
| 401k to the limit
|
| Picture perfect family with 2.5 kids and so much debt I ain’t even paid the dog
|
| off yet
|
| Minimize living life with any risk for the sake of comfort food
|
| 30 hours of TV a week and Sunday’s filled with fantasy football leagues, my
|
| Nubian wife may be out of your expectation for me, my
|
| Mixed kids just made your brain explode, my
|
| Black friends hurt my white credibility so you should be uncomfortable saying
|
| black jokes in my presence |
