I'm just here for a good reception;
After parties are hokey
They go hard as Thor's hammer.
I just want to stay Loki.
I haven't burned out yet. Well, isn't that great?
I'm just moving, pushing, working overtime at a flat rate.
Used to relax hitting golf balls into barn doors
Honestly, my biggest fear was to par the course.
Down to albatross, no matter the weather
You know I take pleasure in being of a different feather.
But how do you stand out in millions of people?
If my hometown's full of hay stacks, I'm just trying to be the needle
That one in a million, but do you remember when success
Was measured by holding hands with girls during recess?
I failed then too, but acted and fronted.
And soon everybody assumed I was the one that they wanted.
Does that work when I'm older?
Feels like that's what I'm doing.
I'll pull up in a rental Ferrari
At my high school reunion, like...
Do you remember me? Do you remember me?
Am I living the dream, or do I just pretend to be?
People that were enemies, now seem to be into me.
Guess I tricked 'em all but was it really worth the rental fee?
Meant to lead, finally got a Passport
And keep that Whatever It Takes coin on my dashboard
I'm fun for any age
Try anything: Nicky Cage.
And I won't stop 'til I get my own freaking Wiki page

CHORUS (x2)
People contact me like we're randomly family.
Never thought anybody could stand to be a fan of me.
Can it be? Is this what I planned to be?
Rainforest rapping.
I'm just reaching for the canopy.
'Cause that's where the light is.
Wanna be something different than just a silly white kid
mimicking rap, pretending I'm black,
pretending that I'm spending some stacks.
How different is that?
Now bring it back.

Describe my hometown? Covered in corn stalks.
Gets hot as than two rats screwing in wool socks.
Rains like cows pissing on flat rocks.
That's how my dad talks.
Life's a sandbox
And I'm just out here building castles in the rain.
Man it's rough, It's annoying, It's a hassle, it's a pain.
It's a struggle but it's worth it. Every muscle, don't conserve it.
Need to hustle, you deserve it. It's a puzzle, no one's perfect, but
For a while I was a front-of the bus nerd,
'til I decided to live my life like a cuss word.
'Cause cuss words are just normal words with passion.
They intimidate and therefore get thrown out of fashion
So I'm down like a pillow I can't afford.
Down like I'm strapped to the end of a bungee cord.
Down like my friends who have always stood next to me.
And down like my critics expect of my trajectory.
They're all like 'Excuse me if I'm being frank, feller.
But when you fail you can come home and be a bank teller.'
...Is that supposed to be encouraging?!
From the Flower City,
but they don't think I'll be flourishing.
Fuck your disappointment, Let me make a mistake.
The only one with balls big enough to leave the state
from my graduating class.
I'm accelerating fast
and I'm looking toward the future while they celebrate the past.
