I wore my heart out on my sleeve too long, I had to buy a vest

Now when I feel like yelling, I just keep it in my chest

Feeling blessed! they suggest that I am not like the rest

Same shoes, same intentions, same ambitions, I digress

Now I failed the test, how to be a rapper in this day and age

Keep my raps so tasty, mix the garlic with the mayonnaise

Cool, calm and collected, my persona when I hit the stage

Drop it like it's heated, please excuse me while I paraphrase

Turn it to eleven, dance like Trudeau at a pride parade

Grinded through the summer so the haters wouldn't hibernate

Chopping up my flows, use Antares like a marinade

Gotta keep it saucy, mix the hot wings with the marmalade

Underneath it all is just suppressed emotion

Big waves, catch me by the ocean

All my feelings are just comatoseing

But I'm a rapper let me sip this potion

Bottle up my problems I'm supposed to be a rapper

Try to play my part, but I ain't wanna be an actor

They think it's funny, I ain't wanna hear the laughter

F**k a career bro, I'm trying to be a rapper

I have these ego dreams, like fever dreams

I'm on the covers of these magazines, I'm loaded

Inflated by my self esteem and bloated

I know I seem devoted, by the money and the fame

But I'm more about the clout cause that's the reason that

Y'all came to the shows and you came with support

Because it's only about the fun, if you win, like a sport

And I seem like a dork, but we call that shit a niche

I've got fans on every continent, my music's like a bridge

I've got money in my hands, looking like I'm filthy rich

I ain't worried bout the streams, I ain't f**g with no Twitch

Unless you're talking about my neck, but that's more or less a glitch

Get the urge to write a banger, know I scratch it like an itch

Underneath the surface is these dreams of grandeur

Big dreams, but I wake up shattered

I know pursuing this is a disaster

But I'm a rapper, so it doesn't matter

Bottle up my problems I'm supposed to be a rapper

Try to play my part, but I ain't wanna be an actor

They think it's funny, I ain't wanna hear the laughter

F**k a career bro, I'm trying to be a rapper
