My best friends tell me relax, for goodness sake.
But my head gets so heavy, my back's about to break,
Want to try my hand at everything, putting everything at stake.
Haven't slept in a while, so I have to dream while I'm awake.
Nobody's gonna hear this, it's just too easy to miss it
I'm such a small statistic, Look I'm just realistic,
That Thirty-Thousand Dollar Thesis directorial vision,
Wanna spend that much, quit bitchin' about the cost of tuition.
Listen, here's my admission: I'm just a nerdy. white. loser.
Amateur writer who thinks he's good with computers.
I'm a straight shooter who got my first pro rejection at 21
Got over that and now I'm on to the next one.
Should I push through as the number of people talking smack worsens?
Or stick to polka music and "leave the rapping to black persons?"
Laugh like Hyenas, leave me scarred, without my pride it seems
It's obvious they're James Earl Jonesin' for some Lion King.
Design a dream, accomplish it.
to their astonishment.
And if they try to tear down your success,
Don't acknowledge it.
High strung like a crossbow
High speed like a bullet.
I got a loaded God-complex, so cock it and pull it.
And put your money where your mouth is,
I'm salivating cash.
What you're puking out is garbage
So I'm taking out the trash.
You were overhyped,
Before I even pressed play
If that song was your best single,
Single is what you'll stay.
People say, they're proud of me, they say I'm a go-getter.
Try to work myself to death, even though I should know better.
Man, I'll never wrap it up, like some Jewish parents on Christmas,
Married to this business, treat my girlfriend like a mistress.
Wait a minute, what is this?
A tribute to Brian's blasphemy?
"Have you found a church yet?" Is all they find to ask of me.
Impossible to tell them that I'm just not believin'
So if you don't mind, let Jesus know I'm working on weekends.
I'm a heathen but if you're concerned about my soul, well stop.
Hotel in Hades, bet your ass I'll be the bellhop.
Well-stocked with ideas but with money don't pretend to be
I'm just trying my hardest. Hope my friends recommended me.
There tend to be big risks with dreams like mine.
Check back in with me in 5 years. I'll be just fine.
From Missouri to Cali, Oh the weather's rough in the Valley?
Take a look at where I grew up, I'm from tornado alley.
