Nobody (feat. Watsky)

Nobody, nobody

I was nobody (nobody), nobody believed

Pregnant women couldn't even conceive

Man your aunt used to hate on my steez

Then she heard it, fell in love, and now your aunt's sorry like Aziz

I'm at the jubilee, let me know if you believe

I've awoken, they thought I was joking, wouldn't humor me

Man they used to laugh at him, thought that I was ludicrous

I don't mean the rapper, just the adjective, man can you imagine it?

'Cause now I'm shining luminous, just look at who I grew to be

Accomplishments are numerous, been reppin' my community

It's something (it's something), how you can start from nothing

Then rock it from microscopic to the topic of discussion from the bottom

And then you touch the roof, that's like a tongue ring

Could change my name, still would get the W like tungsten

That's a science joke, I'm the broke, tie a rope around the dying goat to pull it out the lion's throat

Man look at Ryan go

The way I carry a mic, I'm gonna end up with some flowers on my burial site

I'm still moving, ascending on my aerial flight

Breaking every radio, smashing stereotypes

But I was supposed to curl up, I was supposed to back down

I was supposed to fade, evaporate into the background

I was supposed to never be nothing but made it to something

I knew I could do it, I will make it through it

I'll prove it, I was just another human who was supposed to be

Nobody, nobody

Been acting like nobody

(But I don't wanna be)

Nobody

Ayup

I wasn't born in a nativity, just in anonymity

So all the props they've given me, I've risen to divinity

He felt like Chris, and 'Jimmy!' made him feel good

Her whole perspective changed when she heard 'Knocking On Wood'

He got arrested in college, that shit was not planned

He was scurred, then he heard 'God Damn'

And played it, and played it, 'cause what I say, he related

I became his favorite, he made it out to my tour date, elated

Now he's up in the front going crazy

Word for word in my cadence

I told him "I was nobody, now I'm sold out on stages"

And that got me feeling six feet, but I couldn't fathom

That my words could be the light that lead the weary out the cavern

I'm still better than your verbals, I'm eating rappers like hors d'oerves

I'm Biggie but more Urkel

(What you doing?)

I'm rocking mics until I'm sore, purple

(And then what?)

And then I'm outtie like four circles

Dreamt of the brighter days, stuck to the battle plan

Weathered all the tidal waves, climbed through the avalanche

Hop up out the back of bands and then I make them clap their hands

Boy I'm feeling like the man

But I was supposed to curl up, I was supposed to back down

I was supposed to fade, evaporate into the background

I was supposed to never be nothing but made it to something

I knew I could do it, I will make it through it

I'll prove it, I was just another human who was supposed to be

Nobody, nobody

Been acting like nobody

(But I don't wanna be)

Nobody

It takes smart choices and dumb luck

That's why there's billionaire dumbfucks

Geniuses driving dump trucks

Suckers with Lexuses, experts who won't make one buck

I'm seen dreams die fast and wither slow

I've also seen 'em blooming where they're not supposed to grow

And I've seen the ones I've planned and watched 'em blossom in the snow

Ask me if I'm dank? (Are you dank?) Preposterously so

Another day, gotta get up and go

Keep on plotting even when my body be begging me no

Could be a regular Joe, but I gotta keep a promise

That I made to myself over a decade ago

Gotta shot and almost spoiled it, no one's gonna foil it

I know I can toil, or flush this down the toilet

And that's why I try like Macy Gray

So I'ma keep trying till I'm grey

And emaciated, say what you wanna say you may see

I'm more than where you placed me

Whatever the case be, I'm singing in the rain

So you can bring the lobster, me and Spose will bring the pain

It's Watsky and the fucking King of Maine

But I was supposed to curl up, I was supposed to back down

I was supposed to fade, evaporate into the background

I was supposed to never be nothing but made it to something

I knew I could do it, I will make it through it

I'll prove it, I was just another human who was supposed to be

Nobody, nobody

Been acting like nobody

(But I don't wanna be)

Nobody

They told me (no, no)

Yesterday they told me (no, no)

Ayup

(Been acting like no, nobody, nobody)
