Oooh, hey hey....hey-hey-hey (Repeat) I they I wish I wasn't, but I'm here anyway not for long, I doubt they'll let me stay Now that I my swagger, I found my sway I found my flow and I can all day
I was born into a dream, part curse, part Gain status over soul was the deal was made status gave me comfort, and it gave me space But it didn't give me I'd need to handle all the hate To deal with those knocked me ever since I was a babe As I'd try try fail, they'd celebrate They'd do it out of spite or just some jealous Or 'cause I had the guts to seek some and live my faith
malign my character and they'd say those thangs They didn't even have the guts to say it to my I want to tell 'em now is it's a brand new day I won't ignore the and I won't look the other way So ya better deeper, watch what you say 'Cause you come at me again, it could be last day Can't say you weren't on blast before your Day you elevate or will your soul be laid to waste
Will you elevate or your soul be laid to waste (Repeat)
Oooh, hey hey....hey-hey-hey (Repeat) I know they I wish I wasn't, but I'm here But not for long, I doubt they'll let me stay Now that I found my swagger, I my sway I my flow and I can rhyme all day
I headed to Hollywood, to get as far away From the soulless of being in which I was raised By those country club pricks, thought they had it Uptight and full of judgement and that hate So patriotic to how they're getting played By Mr. Sam, the good ole USA How the military's run by who run the banks Along with and most the global corporate state
They'd say they Christian, though love seemed far away So sure they had it right, so set in their Just their life might be a lie they get irate Deep I think they know there is a better way The mindset's taught to in different ways Even if you're the opposite, it's kind of the same And when it's taught with certitude to kids, hard to shape That mean, petty still haunts me today
That mean, petty still haunts me today
Oooh, hey hey....hey-hey-hey (Repeat) I know I wish I wasn't, but I'm here anyway Probably not for long, I they'll let me stay Now that I my swagger, I found my sway I found my flow and I can all day
We all come seeking fortune, most for fame Some come seeking fun, some have some to say But this town can beat you down and your love to hate Have you flashin' back to that from which you ran You got to keep on working, through your pain When lashin' out, fumblin', stumblin' round the maze You got to give it all and to love the pain Fight through the sneers 'n jeers to make your new day
Fight through the sneers 'n jeers to make your new day
Oooh, hey hey....hey-hey-hey (Repeat) I know they I I wasn't, but I'm here anyway not for long, I doubt they'll let me stay Now that I found my swagger, I've my sway I found my and I can rhyme all day (Repeat)
