lyrics

Planet earth, box set
Calvin Hobbes, Fox trot
Ted Talks, bagels lox
Aimless and lost
Famous in my thoughts
But I rarely leave my head
And I get down when the beat drops
And chill in the tree tops

Waffle crisp and coffee 2:15 in the evening
I'm either writing or sleeping
And hibernation's last season
I'm need of motivation for another profession
For when rhymes don't make rent but till then it's a blessing
I can make a mean panini, I'd be down to be a genie
I could write for your zine or you could let me run the media
Reading Wikipedia pages about some evil lair
Playing Madden 08 as Steve McNair
Because this is who I really am
Yeah this is who I really am
Because this is who I really am
They wonder why am I rapping and I wonder why they're not
The worlds full of villains and I call em on their plots
Michael Cera plays my characters write Super Bad raps
I am youth in revolt with an Mbox and snaps

Never one to battle not that into myself
I don't talk money not that into the wealth
My disposition sunny and I wish you good health
Got a most improved player trophy up on my shelf

I'm eating Oreos and apples sipping white rum and snapple
I'm pretty shy in person I don't tend be an asshole
At my desk making a press kit at eleven on a Saturday
While my friends are doing bad shit like they're ratchet at a frat
And maybe I'm the weird one I find other people draining
But I hate to be alone and I say this to explain
That I'm a contrasting hypocrite who tries hard not a give a shit
Doing nothing for the thrill of it winning praise due to forfeit
Self-pity's so morbid though and this self portrait ain't Van Gogh
This is simply me I just record it and jam slow
They ignore it cuz it's not torrid stick to the status quo
But Imma get my recognition cuz my timings apropos

Because this is who I really am
Yeah this is who I really am
Because this is who I really am

Never one to battle not that into myself
I don't talk money not that into the wealth
My disposition sunny and I wish you good health
Got a most improved player trophy up on my shelf
