All I Ever Wanted

He demands intelligent cooperation and complete relaxation of his subjects

Before he can send them into the strange half sleep of hypnosis

Yeah

I said All I ever wanted to be

Was an emcee, not a rapper cause to me it ain't about the money

I wanna be, shining in the spotlights and projected on the screens

Where you can see how far these words can take you

So when I hit my teens I started picking up shifts

Just to pay for a beat, so I can fuel my belief

That I wanna be somebody

From a young age I'll be honest

I was little overweight, so I'd hear my peers say

"Don't let him sit here the chair will fucking break"

Yeah, music was an escape, I grew up around hate

Put down for something I couldn't change at that age

I joined my choir, cause I was inspired to go higher

Than the ones bringing me down, but I couldn't sing

So instead I kept my pen so that one day

Everything I say will be written on the same page

That's why everything sounds the fucking same (fucking same)

Don't talk on my name, if you ain't seen the days

Where I put pen to the page and write the

Greatest verse you ever heard and still think I'd fade

Uh, I said let me repeat, All I ever wanted to be

Was an emcee, not a rapper cause to me it ain't about the money

I wanna be, shining in the spotlights and projected on the screens

Where you can see how far these words can take you

So when I hit my teens I started picking up shifts

Just to pay for a beat, so I can fuel my belief

That I wanna be somebody

Fuck being the behind the scenes, creating dreams for other people

Why would I wanna be, someone who isn't me?

Cause I spent too much of my past

Hidden behind a mask of a man I didn't want to be

I was embarrassed to show my creativity

So I hid these lyrics I speak, written on receipts

Cause I didn't want you to know it led back to me

Now believe I'm obsessed with every lyric I possess

I write none stop cause ain't no rest for the wicked
