lyrics

Uncharted:

There’s this girl I know
She say she likes the way I flow,
But can’t recite a verse I wrote,
Despite excited faux emotes.
So why do I always invite her to my shows,
when I know that she’d rather stay at home all alone?

Ummm, I guess I blame it on my chromosomes.
The kinda guy to lie around waitin on his mobile phone.
And when I still don’t a text, I lay and moan and groan,
Known that it’s time to throw the towel in and hold my own.

I’m growin older and wiser with every song I write,
Everytime I touch the mic I smile and I like my life.
But at night, it’s quite the opposite and so I try
to put my feelins into words and purge them so I never cry.

Never say die, cuz a frickin Goonie.
Ruthlessly proven to all groupies I’m a looney toonie.
Cruelly judgin me like people think they Truly knew me.
On the real I’m just another artist who is stupid Moody

You don’t like how I spit,
I’m too nice, and too white for this shit?
Never light up a spliff?
Or I’m not white enough, sly with my witts?
An unintelligent loser who gets hyphy and lit?

Man, I grew up on 90’s rap, and sega genisis.
Hadoken yo fools out my life like ryu’s nemesis.
The kinda guy who try’s to stray away from prejudice
It’ll benefit your case if you know who you’re messin with.

The kid who was obsessed with The Fresh Prince,
Tony Hawk champion smashin his best friends.
Attackin foes in super smash bro’s on the daily,
I had a pokedex before I had a ukulele.

I’m never gonna forget where I’m from,
Northern California considered the bay to some.
Not a poser just a nerd from Santa Rosa
No exposure cuz I don’t smoke herb and live kosher.

It’s a fact, that my raps won’t attract,
all the masses, and so I’m askin you, can you blast this?
I never slack with tracks, stack em up like acrobats.
Pack a powerful punch for lunch and have smack for snack.

My greatest problem is my self motivation
I hate it. Sometimes I can’t even right a line of a statement.
It’s outrageously crazy lately. I’m feelin crazy lazy.
Playin games or with my lady, should be writtin verses daily.

And I’m not. And it erks me.
But every time I write a song it’s sweeter than Hersheys.
They thirsty for these verses but I don’t get a curtsy,
When these suckuhs try to cop my skills like they was Kirby ya heard me?

Stop comparing me to other rappers cuz I’m white.
I write different than atmosphere, and me and Slim don't sound alike.
I swear if ONE more person calls me Vanilla Ice.
I’m finna flip a bitch go to the kitchen, get the sharpest knife.

Thanks to the internet everything has to have a genre.
I guess it’s horror core if I say Imma stab ya momma.
What if it’s ironic, smart, and it solves a problem?
Then I guess it’s conscious, but I just call it awesome.

So, go ahead and try to label me.
I’m stayin super sayin til the day that I die and my rhymes savory.
Ya’ll are stuck in the mainstream, away from me.
I’m free to speak my mind, other rappers sign to slavery.

I know I’ll only probably sell about a hundred copies
Sellin out is not an option, not when that means gettin sloppy.
So I’ll remain the awkward white rapper who’s fat and stocky.
Not a hobby, embodied in every awesome word I’m jotting.
