Shameless

White people use rap as a springboard

To eventually sing more

The thick dermis where I keep that black ink stored

And ride around shirtless in a motherfucking big Ford

I lost all of my buddies they ain't dead I'm just awfully judgey

To find success carve a niche and pray to god you get lucky

Or be a narcissist like Scotty Mescudi

Or a product of money

In my 20s I thought I was bout to make it

In my 30s I was like damn I shoulda made it

Now in my 40s looking back knowing I never had a chance

Think bout my 20s like I shoulda learned a trade then

Carpentry, plumbing, electric, roofing

Something with a pension

Something with a union

Something where I wouldn't question everything I'm doing

When I look into my future and I wonder if it's ruined

But I found brightness in the darkest spot

I couldn't find a job so I finished all my started bops

10 years later know the haters gonna bark a lot

Cuz every shows packed like a Trader Joe's parking lot

I'm on the 10 now stuck in traffic west bound

Right near the beach boy listening to Pet Sounds

Wouldn't it be nice if all your idols weren't let downs

I met all mine the decent one's a single handed head count

Getting old sucks you learn what's in the sausage

And see behind the curtains where the Wizard of Oz hid

Our leaders either evil or they're dumber than dog shit

But the cocaine you did keeps you from running for office

Must be amazing to be shameless

Posting lame shit to get famous

Exploitative racists stay playing in our faces

And turn their backs on rap as soon as they take a paycheck

White people use rap as a springboard

And switch to country once they get bored

Or get rappers to dry snitch more

And then produce a bunch of mid porn

Must be amazing to be shameless
