"To All My Friends" |
|
|
|
[Slug] |
|
Yeah, I saw the sign in the window, for the job |
|
Yeah I got a high school education, but that's all |
|
Skills? You wanna know if I got some skills? |
|
Yeah I got some skills |
|
This goes out to all my friends |
|
|
|
What you gonna be when you grown up? |
|
I'm all grown up and still don't know what |
|
I might throw up, I rock a tow-truck |
|
Long as it means that I can get old and post up |
|
I used to be a typical winner |
|
Living off the gratuity from delivering your dinner |
|
Cause as a kid, I didn't consider |
|
that I would get the opportunity to be a full-time spitter |
|
I love this occupation |
|
I got bosses across the nation |
|
Validation is an understatement |
|
and I don't really know how to take a vacation |
|
My kind don't have any free time |
|
I'm so distracted, but everything's fine |
|
I speak shine and I read signs |
|
Appreciate your opinion but this dream's mine |
|
It's all love, we're cool |
|
But you don't tell a cowboy what to do |
|
I was the ugly kid that didn't listen |
|
Little big man full of ambition |
|
Based on imagination, just like you |
|
Daydreaming, thinking bout the things I might do |
|
I used to paint, draw and illustrate |
|
Mom would facilitate and it would feel okay |
|
Seems like yesterday still plays a part |
|
When I grow up, I wanted a job making art |
|
Picture that, how many years old? |
|
Young enough to mix up love with career goals |
|
But I was just this tall when they told me |
|
that the world was mine, but the papers weren't signed |
|
There's no deed, so proceed to go seed |
|
up the whole piece like it owes me groceries |
|
Don't breathe until you formally know me |
|
Won't leave? Better call authorities |
|
It's all love, we're cool |
|
But you tell an astronaut what to do |
|
The turntables stole my heart |
|
Burnt the paintbrush, broke it apart |
|
I miss it, I might revisit |
|
But I wasn't that good, I admit it, maybe you can't tell |
|
But as a kid, I wanted to be Melle Mel |
|
And later as a teenager I wanted to be LL |
|
Then I discovered weed and I wanted to be Del |
|
But thank God eventually I found myself |
|
It's funny when I bump into fools |
|
I used to go to school with, and they ask what I'm doing |
|
Half of the time I want to crack a lie |
|
But fuck it, I'm still a wannabe rapper guy |
|
Hahaha, yeah I guess that it seems that way |
|
I get to see the world, and it's decent pay |
|
As long as somebody want to see us play |
|
I wake up every morning and I seize the day |
|
It's all love, we're cool |
|
But you don't tell the president what to do |
|
|
|
It's like that y'all, it's like this y'all |
|
I don't get to call in sick y'all |
