I'm Not A Rapper (我不是说唱歌手) - LidoLido[00:00:00]
I was named after my grandpa[00:00:08]
Raised by both parents[00:00:10]
Grew up spending a lot of time with my grandma[00:00:12]
Y'all don't really give a damn huh[00:00:15]
Afraid of missing the moment somebody bring the camera[00:00:17]
Might be a Kodak[00:00:21]
Capable of great things sorry but I know that[00:00:23]
And I know dudes that wanna go back[00:00:26]
That's why I feel the need to hold back[00:00:29]
Tell me I'm spoiled my folks knew what I needed[00:00:31]
In a bad game but the parenting succeeded[00:00:34]
So I play fair I'm on that fair play[00:00:37]
That don't necessarily mean that I'mma stay there[00:00:39]
Pardon the concentration[00:00:42]
I always think about chord progressions while having a conversation[00:00:44]
So what was it that you said[00:00:48]
Is it going to my head[00:00:52]
Growing on stories that I've read[00:00:54]
And I don't feel the need to be out partying instead[00:00:56]
Spend my days mumbling in a studio[00:00:59]
In a business based on who we know[00:01:02]
Maybe I should get my priorities in order[00:01:04]
I keep thinking of all the thoughts I've never thought of[00:01:07]
This world is confused[00:01:10]
So I'm trynna spend more time caressing my girl than my shoes[00:01:12]
She feel like I don't write about her and I should[00:01:15]
But what is there to say when everything is all good[00:01:18]
Now she's like matter fact[00:01:22]
Don't do it don't put me in a rap[00:01:25]
The metaphors is heavy she won't know how to act[00:01:27]
I rap about my ex and trust me I don't want her back[00:01:29]
Somebody clap somebody bring a plaque[00:01:32]
Truly sorry I forgot to read what's on the back[00:01:35]
Steel expression facing a magnet[00:01:38]
I went to that same place out of habit[00:01:41]
She can't face that we had it[00:01:44]
Check under the carpet for traces of magic[00:01:46]
She came into my life to spread some light in it[00:01:50]
Had to let go of her hand so I could write with it[00:01:52]
They not liking it[00:01:55]
Everything I say must be coded or else somebody might get it[00:01:56]
And as we play on[00:02:02]
I'm frustrated 'bout the crayons she stay on[00:02:03]
I don't mess up usually[00:02:07]
There's a last name where a heart used to be now[00:02:08]
And I don't fight with my emotions[00:02:12]
Doors steady open keys are my devotion[00:02:14]
And everyone moving in slow motion[00:02:17]
Like they trynna run it at the bottom of the ocean[00:02:20]
I ain't trynna get no drama[00:02:23]
So I do my teachers like they did Obama[00:02:25]
I'm not a dropout[00:02:29]
But at times I've been one drop from dropping out[00:02:30]
And all I know is open arms never been rejected[00:02:33]
Though I recall the feeling of being neglected[00:02:37]
Thanks to my mom I am well reflected[00:02:39]
So you don't need to explain homie I get it[00:02:42]
Bitter dudes say I sound like so and so[00:02:45]
Translation sound like I'm going pro[00:02:48]
And it's hard keeping it on the low[00:02:51]
When the people that matter tell you you're on a roll[00:02:53]
Small fears all cares[00:02:56]
As long as you are something they can call theirs[00:02:59]
Got songs that gotta wait like 4 years[00:03:02]
So tell me who I am man I'm all ears[00:03:04]
And there was no doubt[00:03:07]
'Till I found myself in a big city all alone in a hotel room[00:03:09]
Like this is what I sell to'em[00:03:14]
They say I'm sick and they hope that I get well soon[00:03:16]
Mom stressed I never eat and I keep underestimating sleep[00:03:20]
I'm just trynna put a blessing on a beat[00:03:24]
And make those who do stop questioning the leap[00:03:27]
Confession from a geek the truth goes[00:03:29]
I actually write better wearing new clothes[00:03:32]
And watching these rappers makes me wanna do shows[00:03:35]
Too many cameras help me come up with a new pose[00:03:38]
Head's wishing time would be reversible[00:03:41]
I'm a part of a new era see we personal[00:03:44]
What do I put so much thought into these verses for[00:03:46]
Looking around like do I have to curse to blow[00:03:49]
Maybe I'm just thinking too much[00:03:52]
Analyzing everything I'm shrinking too much[00:03:54]
They say I'm bigger than myself[00:03:57]
No connection to reality I'm blinking too much[00:04:00]
Let's be honest for a minute[00:04:04]
Close my eyes I'm not seeing any limit[00:04:06]
Going more places than a stewardess[00:04:09]
I'm not a rapper[00:04:12]
I just sound good doing this[00:04:13]
