lyrics

I take it easy and I go hard
But I'm still uptight
I'm sleazy and chivalrous
A summer knight
I'm in it for the glory
Or at least a good story
What should I write down tonight?
I could write pops songs all day long
And play with dustup drops
Till rave kids call me bass god
I'd rather make your head nod
Or at least I'll make bedrock
So knock knock
Open up the door to your closed mind
The let me step inside

I'm too nerdy for Fergie
And I am dirty but she's dirtier
Pop stars are good with their words
But I am wordier
I'm flintier than t-swift but still on that b-list
Not your best bet to write the next hit
I'm a davy jones believer
Just not in justin beiber
I'm a chris brown beat-hound: golden retriever
Step into the club, five foot eight inch
No bottle full of boob just a t-pain migraine
I never make my music for a place i hate
and if this rap is inaccessible then that's okay
I doubt you'll ever see an article about me
Or a hosted blog post to boast about my CD
I'm knee deep in lyrics and even deeper in spirit
And if you're swimming in the shallow end
Time to get out my friend
Little bit of Anticon, no parts Akon
Little bit of self-pity little bit of james bond
Little bit embarrassed I'm an upper class white kid
Appreciate my parents though cuz i was raised right kid
Might kid around about it when the mic's in my hand
But at night when I write it I am serious man
I'm not the most paid or the most played most days
Not quite the musician that I wish I was
Not in the position that I wish I was
But it'll come to fruition like it always does

I don't blame you if you think my beat's lame (pop songs, pop songs)
You will never hear this on the radio waves (pop songs, pop pimples)
