| Check it, aye yo
|
| This right here is, this is honestly the jam
|
| To make them all say YONAS is honestly the man
|
| On my Ferris Bueller shit, school was never in the plan
|
| Because what I got is special like a jewel in the sand
|
| Make a move where they can slam
|
| Rappers like to pretend
|
| I always keep a girl that’s why they like me to win
|
| And who would’ve ever thought that my life would ever begin
|
| By inspiring the world through the strike of a pen
|
| So I got to thank the fans because they made me who I am
|
| First, they showed me how to fall
|
| Then they taught me how to stand
|
| I just got to be myself, and they all understand
|
| Like an Aloe Blacc song
|
| I’m the man, I’m the man
|
| (Ha ha)
|
| I took a theory and I turned it into fact
|
| You took a couple rock songs and turned them into rap
|
| You all liked it better because I gave it what it lacked
|
| Had some fun with it and then I gave it back
|
| So this is for you
|
| This goes out to you (x3)
|
| You were there when no one was around
|
| This goes out to you (x3)
|
| You were there when no one was around
|
| Now I don’t have a corny name for my fan base
|
| But they still love me because I’m something you can’t hate
|
| Plus I draw what these other dudes can’t trace
|
| Out of this world you’re better off trying to scan space
|
| A bed of nails, ain’t no sleeping on the kid
|
| I don’t usually smoke, but now I’m chiefing on the clear
|
| It’s never easy to cope when the reason you exist is to carry the torch
|
| My niggas reaching for this shit
|
| But I got it
|
| Nope, I’m not a novice
|
| I know I’m an artist
|
| And also a product
|
| And I got friends that look like Mike Brown
|
| But I got some friends that live in white towns
|
| So I try to find a way to stay cool
|
| But somehow I always manage to break rules
|
| And if I ever lied on a record, lord let me die today
|
| (Huh)
|
| And by the way, I do this for you
|
| This is for any being being creative
|
| I thank you for the things that you have created
|
| Even if it seems that we ain’t related
|
| You’re the reason I ever had dreams of being the greatest
|
| I could rush to the finish but shit is better patient
|
| Feeling like I’m minutes from a celebration
|
| Pour champagne glass leaving demons in the past
|
| One toast for success, another toast to make it last |
