Lyrics:

[English]

Yeah, I was born a misfit

Grew up 10 miles from the town of Ipswich

Wanted to make it big, I wished it to existence

I never was a sick kid, always dismissed quick

"Stick to singing, stop rappin' like it's Christmas"

And if you're talkin' money, then my conversation shiftin'

My dreams are bigger than just bein' on the rich list

Might be insanity, but people call it "gifted"

My face is goin' numb from the shit this stuff is mixed with

Watch how the lyrics in the songs might get twisted

My wife wears red, but looks better without the lipstick

I'm a private guy and you know nothin' 'bout my business

And if I had my 15 minutes, I must have missed 'em

20 years old is when I came in the game

And now it's eight years on and you remember the name

And if you thought I was good, well, then I'm better today

But it's ironic how you people thought I'd never be great

I like my shows open-air, Tokyo to Delaware

Put your phones in the air if you wanna be rocked

You know I want way more than I already got

Give me a song with Eminem and 50 Cent in the club

You know it ain't my time to call it a day

I wanna crack one and I wanna be paid

But it's 'bout time, you remember the name (Ayy, ayy)

You know it ain't my time to call it a day

I wanna crack one and I wanna be paid

But it's 'bout time, you remember the name (Ayy, ayy)

(Hey, hey, hey)

I can still remember (What?) tryna shop a deal (Uh-huh)

From Taco Bell to TRL

I climbed the Billboard charts to the

Top until, as fate would have it (Yup)

Became an addict, funny 'cause I had pop appeal

But they said time would tell (What?) if I'd prevail (Huh?)

And all I did was (What?) put Nine Inch Nails (Where?)

In my eyelids now (What?)

I'm seein' diamond sales like I'm in Zales (Yeah)

Without a doubt, by any means

If rap was skinny jeans, I couldn't do anything

In 'em, I'd be splittin' seams of denim when I'm spitting schemes

Which really means, no "ifs", "ands

" Or "buts" are squeezin' in between

You sleep on me 'cause you're only fucking winning in your dreams

Not even when I'm on my deathbed

Man, I feel like Ed, it isn't time to drop the mic yet

So why would I quit? The thought that I would stop when I'm dead

Just popped in my head, I said it, then forgot what I said

It isn't my time to call it a day

I got rap locked and I'm already paid

But it's 'bout time, you remember the name (Ayy, ayy)

You know it ain't my time to call it a day

I got rap locked and I'm already paid

But it's 'bout time, you remember the name (Ayy, ayy)

Ain't nobody cold as me, I dress so fresh, so clean

You can find me in my whip, rockin' my Fendi drip
