It seems like they all want me to fail
|
But I'm not goin' back
|
Not goin' back, baby
|
|
Please tell me you don't want me to fail
|
'Cause I'm not goin' back
|
Not goin' back
|
|
I coulda been a tragedy
|
That's why these fake niggas who call me pussy are mad at me
|
'Cause they ain't have the smarts or the heart
|
Ain't you read the fuckin' book? Things fall apart
|
I was never gonna stay the same
|
All I ever really wanted was to change the game
|
Spent the year kickin' ass and takin' names
|
Try to tell it to your heart, Taylor Dayne
|
Mama told me I was special when them test scores came in
|
Callin' the new Will Smith, that's Jaden
|
Callin' me a faggot when I'm rappin', that's hatin'
|
I need to slow down, what the fuck is y'all sayin'?
|
Step inside the party, y'all niggas is mood killers
|
My lifestyle simple, live easy and Bruce Willis
|
I'm the boss, Michael Scott, y'all bitches is just Phyllis
|
Set the world on fire, y'all motherfuckers is chillin', what is this?
|
That's why these fuckin' MCs want their asses back
|
Don't you know that I'm a rapist? Ask a track
|
Whiskey-sippin', wanna drink the whole bottle
|
But these smart middle-class black kids need a role model
|
Fuckin' hate me, that's what I'm used to
|
Suck a dick, we the shit, Metamucil
|
God damn, man, there's gotta be a better way
|
Than pill-poppin' all these drugs so I can stay awake
|
Like I'm Jessie in this bitch, I'm so excited
|
There's a party at the top, you ain't invited
|
But it's lame, and all the bitches is fake
|
You think about your old girl and how breakin' up's a mistake
|
Black dudes assume I'm closeted or kinda gay
|
White people confused like girl on Glee and Gabourey
|
I Am Donald is a full-time job
|
These niggas want me to fail so they can write me off
|
|
It seems like they all want me to fail
|
But I'm not goin' back
|
Not goin' back, baby
|
|
Please tell me you don't want me to fail
|
'Cause I'm not goin' back
|
Not goin' ba-ack
|
|
Dirty girls love my dick, they're cockroaches
|
Jewish girls eat my meat, it's not kosher
|
Relax, black chick, I think that I have offended thee
|
Got nothin' against the sistas, I just don't think they're into me
|
I am not a thug, AKA what they pretend to be
|
I am just myself, AKA my worst enemy
|
Yeah, bitch, cut the swag with a fuckin' knife
|
I come hard like my life keep her pussy tight
|
It's cool, though, it's all good
|
You want a dude who keep it real, and stay hood
|
I'm sorry, babe, but I act me
|
I don't act black, whatever that be
|
I'm just happy these girls seem into me now
|
Yeah, they lookin' for some In N Out, animal style
|
With this lettuce, cheese, bread, makin' sandwiches
|
That's why you niggas fail like all of your parents' marriages
|
Ran into Rashida Jones, told me that she heard my song
|
When I called her mixed like the crowd at my last show
|
She said to write her somethin' nice on the next track
|
But she cute, so I wrote her ass a whole rap
|
Man, I threw that shit away, it felt dumb
|
Believe me, it was bad, we're better off, you're welcome
|
I worked hard on that song like day and night
|
That whole song, made this one verse crazy, right?
|
I guess it all goes somewhere, you know that
|
Like that bullshit you talked before Culdesac
|
'I didn't know he had it in 'I'm! '
|
Couldn't see me as Spiderman, but now I'm spittin' venom
|
Now you payin' attention, pick your fuckin' face up
|
When I wanna be a superhero I just wake up
|
Renaissance man with a Hollywood buzz
|
I refuse to go back to not likin' who I was
|
Because
|
|
Fake love, these fake dreams
|
These fake sounds
|
All the things that we felt
|
Your voice was screaming too loud
|
I know what you're ready to be
|
But it isn't with me
|
So I'm ready to leave you alone
|
|
I don't really wanna fight like this
|
I don't ever wanna lose your kiss
|
All I ever wanted was someone to hold on to
|
|
I just wanna be your girl
|
Everything you haven't heard, plus
|
I just wanna be with you
|
|
(With you) With you
|
(With you) With you
|
(With you) I just wanna be with you
|
|
(With you) With you
|
(With you) With you
|
Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
|
