Nobody
(专辑: Why Am I So Happy? - 2015)
[The Right Now:] Nobody, nobody [Verse 1
Spose:] I
was nobody (nobody), nobody believed Pregnant women couldn't even conceive Man your aunt used to hate on my steez Then she heard it, fell in love, and now your aunt's sorry like Aziz I'm at the
jubilee, let me know if you believe I've awoken, they thought I
was joking, wouldn't humor me Man they used to laugh at him, thought that I
was ludicrous I
don't mean the
rapper, just the
adjective, man can you imagine it? Cause now I'm shining luminous, just look at who I
grew to be Accomplishments are numerous, been repping my community It's something (it's something), how you can start from nothing Then rock it from microscopic to the
topic of discussion from the
bottom And then you touch the
roof, that's like a
tongue ring Could change my name, still would get the W
like tungsten That's a
science joke, I'm the
broke, tie a
rope around the
dying goat to pull it out the
lion's throat Man look at Ryan go The
way I
carry a
mic, I'm gonna end up with some flowers on my burial site I'm still moving, ascending on my aerial flight Breaking every radio, smashing stereotypes [Pre-Hook Spose:] But I
was supposed to curl up, I
was supposed to back down I
was supposed to fade, evaporate into the
background I
was supposed to never be nothing but made it to something I
knew I
could do it, I
will make it through it I'll prove it, I
was just another human who was supposed to be [Hook The
Right Now & (Spose):] Nobody, nobody Been acting like nobody (But I
don't wanna be) Nobody [Verse 2
Spose:] Ayup I
wasn't born in a
nativity, just in anonymity So all the
props they've given me, I've risen to divinity He felt like Chris, and 'Jimmy!' made him feel good Her whole perspective changed when she heard 'Knocking On Wood' He got arrested in college, that shit was not planned He was scurred, then he heard 'God Damn' And played it, and played it, cause what I
say, he related I
became his favorite, he made it out to my tour date, elated Now he's up in the
front going crazy Word for word in my cadence I
told him "I was nobody, now I'm sold out on stages" And that got me feeling six feet, but I
couldn't fathom That my words could be the
light that lead the
weary out the
cavern I'm still better than your verbals, I'm eating rappers like hors d'oerves I'm Biggie but more Urkel (What you doing?) I'm rocking mics until I'm sore, purple (And then what?) And then I'm outtie like four circles Dreamt of the
brighter days, stuck to the
battle plan Weathered all the
tidal waves, climbed through the
avalanche Hop up out the
back of bands and then I
make them clap their hands Boy I'm feeling like the
man [Pre-Hook Spose:] But I
was supposed to curl up, I
was supposed to back down I
was supposed to fade, evaporate into the
background I
was supposed to never be nothing but made it to something I
knew I
could do it, I
will make it through it I'll prove it, I
was just another human who was supposed to be [Hook The
Right Now & (Spose):] Nobody, nobody Been acting like nobody (But I
don't wanna be) Nobody [Verse 3
Watsky:] It takes smart choices and dumb luck That's why there's billionaire dumbfucks Geniuses driving dump trucks Suckers with Lexuses, experts who won't make one buck I'm seen dreams die fast and wither slow I've also seen 'em blooming where they're not supposed to grow And I've seen the
ones I've planned and watched 'em blossom in the
snow Ask me if I'm dank? (Are you dank?) Preposterously so Another day, gotta get up and go Keep on plotting even when my body be begging me no Could be a
regular Joe, but I
gotta keep a
promise That I
made to myself over a
decade ago Gotta shot and almost spoiled it, no one's gonna foil it I
know I
can toil, or flush this down the
toilet And that's why I
try like Macy Gray So I'ma keep trying till I'm grey And emaciated, say what you wanna say you may see I'm more than where you placed me Whatever the
case be, I'm singing in the
rain So you can bring the
lobster, me and Spose will bring the
pain It's Watsky and the
fucking King of Maine [Pre-Hook Spose:] But I
was supposed to curl up, I
was supposed to back down I
was supposed to fade, evaporate into the
background I
was supposed to never be nothing but made it to something I
knew I
could do it, I
will make it through it I'll prove it, I
was just another human who was supposed to be [Hook The
Right Now & (Spose):] Nobody, nobody Been acting like nobody (But I
don't wanna be) Nobody [Post-hook Spose & (The Right Now:)] They told me (no) Yesterday they told me (no) Ayup (Been acting like no, nobody, nobody)
