lyrics

I’m genuinely nice and I try to be friendly
Make jokes at my expense, they don’t tend to offend me
The only time I brag is when I absolutely need it
Every rapper has an ego, I don’t always need to feed it
And to you, the listener, I’m pretty you’re thinking
That I’m bragging right now, while I’m talking ego-shrinking
Cuz I’m sinking too far down, my self-deprecation’s killing me
So down on myself that my music isn’t thrilling me
I know it’s stupid but I don’t think I can make it
I can’t fall into a mold when I really wanna break it and
I hate the word ‘fake’ cuz only posers use it
And phony poser clowns talk like this and abuse it
So here’s bar 13 of my 16 bar verse
A white guy with decent rhymes whose career’s in a hearse
Am I supposed to have a Merc or do I really drive a Civic?
I don’t live a rappers’ life so I should probably ask the cynics

I’m completely unaware of my purpose on this planet
But I want to help it mellow out and never see us panic
Understand that I’m unsure of my own self-worth
But I’d like to see depression be replaced by mirth

I’m completely unaware of my purpose on this planet
But I want to help it mellow out and never see us panic
Understand that I’m unsure of my own self-worth
But I’d like to see depression be replaced by mirth

I’d like to divulge I walk a fine line that haunts us
I’m slightly self-indulgent and super socially conscious
Honestly I’d sell more music if you told your whole crew
That you’re sick in the head too, freakin’ out but you can’t move
My mantra if I have one, is to move you from blue
I write all of these songs for you to fall asleep to
Three cheers for more sleep, five, six, seven hours
Our moods are so fragile like those two tall twin towers
I can’t tell you I’m your favorite, cuz I doubt that I am
But I can make you warm and fuzzy like your feed in the summer sand
I wish every second was like a day on the beach
But I’ll convert you to happy like a priest I will preach
My statement of purpose, by which my worth is dictated
Is that if I can make you smile then I know that I’ve made it
Hear me, I speak to you although we’ve never met
If your hearing me clear then lay back and forget your day

I’m completely unaware of my purpose on this planet
But I want to help it mellow out and never see us panic
Understand that I’m unsure of my own self-worth
But I’d like to see depression be replaced by mirth

I’m completely unaware of my purpose on this planet
But I want to help it mellow out and never see us panic
Understand that I’m unsure of my own self-worth
But I’d like to see depression be replaced by mirth
