|
Gather 'round children, |
|
I got a tale to tell ya |
|
There was a time when |
|
I couldn't bust a rhyme |
|
Had yet to hit my prime ' |
|
Cause my mind was such a young mind |
|
And first you got to unwind |
|
The mystery of your soul, it's like a black hole |
|
The gravity is too thick |
|
You got to learn to lighten up a bit |
|
It's such a frightening thing to realize |
|
Every time you close your eyes |
|
You been cut down to size ' |
|
Cause you're stuck with yourself |
|
Ain't nobody else to compare yourself to |
|
It's just you |
|
And then you ask yourself, "What's it all about?" |
|
So you try to figure it out |
|
And that's when you'll be tempted to believe foolish things |
|
And deceive yourself by lettin' someone else |
|
Do your thinkin' for you |
|
When they haven't got a clue |
|
But you can't relive the hype, don't ya see? ' |
|
Cause I got a special answer meant just for me |
|
Somewhere in my immediate vicinity |
|
And if there's time enough to get it |
|
Then in time |
|
I'm gonna get it ' |
|
Cause I am the |
|
Individualist |
|
Check my references |
|
Wherever you are now you know |
|
I been there, done that |
|
Don't need to sling the scat 'cause my resume' is too fat |
|
Change my name to some funky fresh dingbat |
|
Like "the artist formerly known as TR-i" |
|
I got to laugh when they try to figure out what it's all about |
|
And they doubt that |
|
I'm so devout |
|
But it's something |
|
I can do without |
|
I got to know why |
|
I wanna know what |
|
I wanna know |
|
Why do I go where the others won't go? |
|
My eye is on the prize that's in disguise |
|
That you can only theorize, but |
|
I can utilize |
|
To rise above the lies about reality ' |
|
Cause you can't relive the hype don't ya see? ' |
|
Cause I got a special answer meant just for me |
|
Somewhere in my immediate vicinity |
|
And if there's time enough to find it |
|
Then in time |
|
I'm gonna find it ' |
|
Cause I am the |
|
Individualist |
|
Here comes the |
|
Individualist |
|
Yes I am, the |
|
Individualist |
