Yeah I know you won’t give me That authentic Hip Hop card But I don’t give a fuck man I’ll rock this mic Til your motherfuckin ears bleed motherfuckin ears bleed Caught in a ravine The chasm between Two cultures that are seen With a stereotype Fuck that shit Young buck do your own thing And if the haters wanna hate Cuz my skin’s too white Let em hate and when they hate chips are gonna stack high And if the haters wanna hate Cuz they think I’m a wigga Let em hate and when they hate chips are gonna stack even higher See I grew up listening to Tupac and Biggie But also Kurt Cobain and Eddie Vedder I used to dance like Michael Jackson in the goalie net Done and got older Got a chip on my shoulder Now I shine with my off-white, fake teeth Started havin problems with obesity Yeah these demons wanna, wanna sabotage me But excuses are like assholes [ everyone’s got one ] So I watched my idols on YouTube for a week Wish I coulda been there When Queen played Wembly The way he swayed the crowd, Freddie Mercury Felt like some kind of spiritual release I remember seventh grade Those Mussissippi Nights Superdrag screaming [Who sucked out .. the feeling] We made our own Weez3r tees And hit up the show I remember thinkin “damn this guy’s a nerd, just like me” In my early twenties I pushed my dreams and my love for music Deep deep down I played it safe Took the well-worn path Stuck in a cubicle staring at a screen But something inside was [Haunting Me] I guess it was my idols and the songs they sang I always kinda wondered Maybe me one day? Failure’s an illusion You just haven’t done it Bigger, badder, more you, less them Better, better, getting better every day Honing your craft til you’re so good They HAVE NO CHOICE They Cannot Ignore You A friend of mine, we’ll call him Ryan Opened up my eyes When I couldn’t see I’d lost my path, lost my way Lost most of my dignity Then one day things got so bad I was headed on a one-way track About to drop off a steep ravine Took a look at my life The failure I’d become Decided to say .. fuck it man Imma do it my way Fuck it man, Imma do it my way Fuck it man, Imma do it my way Excuses are like assholes [ everybody’s got one ] Fuck it man, Imma do it my way Excuses are like assholes [ everybody’s got one ] Fuck it man, Imma do it my way Excuses are like assholes [ everybody’s got one ] Fuck it man, Imma do it my way Excuses are like assholes [ everybody’s got one ] Fuck it man, Imma do it my way Excuses are like assholes [ everybody’s got one ] fuck it Imm do it my way
