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