I'm a mastermind
Watch me pass the time
Sipping on a fluid ounce of Grey Goose vodka mixed in all together with a glass of wine
What am I?
Undefined
They've been trying to find a label to describe me but they got discouraged when none applied
I'm that rap enthusiast
But with a history of being studious
I still cut class but I passed with ninety even though they'd always find me where the music is
I was a clueless kid
I was luminous but when it came to women I just couldn't get the shoes to fit
Numerous rejections got my heart like Pewter gym
Rock solid, feigning jubilance
In this pool of fish I was a small one, big pond
I never fathomed I could prosper and live long
I never thought that I could write and sing songs
Spit hot like my name was Spizzy or Big Sean
I'd think thoughts that were detrimental to my confidence
Like hip-hop isn't for the Caucasian columnists
I used to wonder why anybody would follow this
Now I know it's cause I've got more impact than the competish
I've blacked out under pressure like a drunken fish
Gotten weird looks like I was spotted hugging kids
Gotten disapproval like I promised everybody chocolate but was cheap so when I copped it they called it fucking shit
But I didn't let that define me
I'm fighting an uphill battle but still I'm always climbing
Find me never slipping, always rising
Cause I'll never let the past ignite me

I am who I am cause of past mistakes
But I'll be who I am until my passion breaks
I'm moving to improve with every breath I take
Put my life on the line when my rap's at stake

I see the light and it's blinking loud
Gotta remember that was then and this is now
I won't let them take me swiftly down
Gotta remember that was then and this is now
That was then, this is now
I see the light and it's blinking loud
Gotta remember that was then and this is now

Was that just me or was the beat abrupt?
Volcanically I spit a little heat, erupt
But I needed something underneath my feet to jump
Instead of like all of these rappers taking leaps on luck
I might freeze, oh fuck
Just kidding, but I would until I was 13 and up
Never had much friends aside from Justin
But me and music go together like Reese's Cups
I tried to clean this up but I lost myself
Tried to speed it up but I got to hell
But now I'm feeling better, clever, never under the weather
I'm tethered to my ideals and they're not for sale
I've gone off the rails like a locomotive accident
But I stayed on stage, never fax it in
And I turned every phrase, every verb, every page but feel unheard like some members of the Cabinet
Was out of sync like no one told me what was happening
Words came out my mouth but sounded more like I was babbling
It's challenging
Getting bullied at school when you just want your dad to be back again
But I don't mean any disrespect
I guess I've always been a different type of intellect
I've always thought things through analytically different
And when I'm dead I'll still be kicking like a discotheque
I'm someone different than I was
I'm in love with the feeling of the new me, I could never get enough
I've been above where I used to be but found a middle because little by little it was whittling me to dust
In a rush but I'm patient and I'm plush but abrasive
I've been striking so many lines some been crooked, some adjacent
Growing complacent now will never occur to me
That's not a promise it's a motherfucking certainty

I am who I am cause of past mistakes
But I'll be who I am until my passion breaks
I'm moving to improve with every breath I take
Put my life on the line when my rap's at stake

I see the light and it's blinking loud
Gotta remember that was then and this is now
I won't let them take me swiftly down
Gotta remember that was then and this is now
That was then, this is now
I see the light and it's blinking loud
Gotta remember that was then and this is now
