Chorus All I wanted to do is write rhymes All I ever wanted to do is write rhymes All I ever wanted to do is write rhymes (Huh?) Is that a crime? (What?) To write rhymes?
Verse 2 I don't be an economist I don't want to be a cheap novelist I don't want to be a weed or a botanist I don't want to be a pimp or bottom bitch I don't want to be a strip club manager And I'd hate to be a strip club janitor Mopping up for crusty ass customer, bust in their nuts in the cuts I Just wanna bust a verse I don't wanna be a court jester I don't want to be a royal poison tester I don't wanna pick up dog crap for park and rec And I don't want to be a doghouse architect I don't want to be a server I don't want to flip beef burgers be a beat maker, a wal mart greeter A CEO, an astronaut or a fucking sheep herder
Verse 3 But the sad fact is, most real folks don't get don't get to practice What we love for a living we do backflips And no matter where we're at on the atlas Earth spins on its axis back to the rat race Run the hampster wheel At a mad pace we'll run laps till our last days Just a beast till the last rose petal drops in the glass case
I'm one of a lucky bunch But I upchuck my free lunch when sucker punched I'm fucking up, I don't want to free pass When my ancestors potatoes rotted in the field they would have to eat grass And folks put on ski masks when their back's against the wall throwing right hooks And I just wanna pen verses, write hooks Man I'm such lucky asshole Someone fucking slap me with my rhymebook
