lyrics

[Verse 1]
This Matt man, he needs to rap
He needs to craft spit to breathe on tracks
But he’s feeling whack because he needs that cash
So he can feed that family he needs so bad
But he’s no dad, and he’s no actor
He sees those factors that scheme those traps
To keep those magical dreams so average
Scene’s so stagnant though he goes after it
She lets me keep it going though she’s not a fan of it
And so I keep on flowing dope because I can’t stop it
And so I stand nodding, rocking to my jams
Popping off like I’m the man, falsely falling on my fans honest
But I’ve got a lot to stand for, I’m a man modest
While I’m talking bout how I’ve got all this banned knowledge
She doesn’t understand, but she holds my hand, palm and
Fingers intermingle and we’re sitting as a pair and she’s saying

[Verse 2]
She looks after me cuz I’m ridiculous
A bit of Asperger’s, OCD, meticulous
When I mingle with hits I’m addicted to it
But she’s fluent as a muse when I’m sticking to it
While I do this, she’s cool with the music
Even though the “movements” I groove to have no movement
So stupid, vocally no human
Should ever stress about the betterment of old bruises
But I can’t stop, it’s a dance-off
Though my jams rock, I’m ashamed so she can’t watch
I’m the same as the pain that I can’t drop
But I’ve gotta leave that behind and be a man pronto
Onto bigger things, better places
Lawn’s always greener on the other side by neighbors
I hate these ways, but I’ve gotta make payments
Lame how I’m a tenant in my brain, but she’s saying this

[Verse 3]
So I wanna say thank you for loving me, thank you for being there
Thank you for not packing backs up and fleeing scared
Thank you for helping me walk when my feet won’t dare
I’m feeble and awful and all, but I see you stare
Right back at me, smiling and laughing
And when I see that, that means I’m happy
That means rap is my craft, but I’m actually
Happier snacking on crackers and napping
With you, yeah you, and only you
Cuz you helped grow me from lonely to fruitful
And truthfully I think I owe you the moon so
Quatro, treice, dos, now uno
You go zooming to infinity and beyond
And I’ll add one, then rap a little wee song
Just keep on, doing what you’re doing
And we’ll be strong, we rock, all because you keep on saying
