I've been searching for love and acceptance/ it's time I accepted, the fact that, I am, surrounded by skeptics/ I admit, I work too hard to impress folks/ and they're scared to take a chance, yellow like egg yolks/ I ain't completely convinced, that they're worth it/ I don't believe for a second, that I'm perfect/ nah, I'm not one of the cool kids, or up the new shit/ but everything they do, and pursue, sounds stupid/ maybe from their point of view, it's the same for me/ that'd be a shame, but all the same, we'll see/ but thanks, to all those who let me peep game for free/ there's change on the horizon, finally in range to see/ no longer bound by chains, I'm free/ and i'll continue to be, what I'm best at, and that's being exceptional/ as far as anything less, death would be preferable/ chances of me losing, infinitesimal/
I don't know about you, but see I love what I do/ I live and breathe it, believe it needs me too/ so I strive to be the best I can/ I don't care if I'm not considered the best of the rest, I am/
I am, the best I can be, if you think it too, say "yes, I agree"/ whether you don't or you do, it ain't stressing me, cuz I am the best I can be/
when I spend a lotta time in my own head, it's my thoughts, I'm examining/ certain ones, shake me to core, like a tambourine/ I always had aspirations, to rule the land as king/ but I didn't know how, before, and that's the damnedest thing/ I deserve to elevate, I think that, aloud/ I spent too much time, just a face in the crowd/ this whole time, i been sitting on a gold- mine/ it's not for money, but I throw lines, that blow minds/ its been a slow grind, but I- understand now/ it's hard to learn from life, acting like, the class clown/ or letting critics put your craft down / so when they speak negative, I just laugh now/ you see the path now, that fate weaves, ain't make believe/ there is no mistake, there's things I can't wait to achieve/ and before anyone else would follow my lead/ I had to prove to myself, I could really succeed/
I don't know about you, but see I love what I do/ I live and breathe it, believe it needs me too/ so I strive to be the best I can/ I don't care if I'm not considered the best of the rest, I am/
I am, the best I can be, if you think it too, say "yes, I agree"/ whether you don't or you do, it ain't stressing me, cuz I am the best I can be/
I'll admit, all my self-promotion is shameless/ no shit, please dispel any notion it's brainless/ this is it, all well-thought, battles are hard-fought/ I will excel, or going through hell, was all for naught/ I give it all I've got, push it passed the limit/ I wouldn't deserve a shot, being too damn timid/ air in this land is frigid, but the breeze is strong/
But I held on to hope, you believed was gone/ They say the night is always darkest 'fore seeing the dawn/ it's repeated so long, I can't conceive it as wrong/ if I breathe it on a song, you can take it as true/ and despite all the tests and trials, I made it through/ this is me thanking you, and you know who you are/ you helped me to stay focused, though it drove us apart/ I won't lower the bar, that ain't never been allowed/ see I've only been proud, when I'm aiming for the clouds/
I don't know about you, but see I love what I do/ I live and breathe it, believe it needs me too/ so I strive to be the best I can/ I don't care if I'm not considered the best of the rest, I am/
I am, the best I can be, if you think it too, say "yes, I agree"/ whether you don't or you do, it ain't stressing me, cuz I am the best I can be/
