Текст пісні
You know this rap game is a lot like high school
And high school is a lot like life
You see in life you gotta do things
To set yourself apart from your peers
You need to identify the qualities
That separate you from those around you
After all, isn't that what most people
Spend they lives tryin to accomplish?
Wouldn't we all want somebody somewhere
Later on down the line to remember the things
That were different about us?
Don't you understand?
The more you fit in the less you're noticed
That's how it is
For anyone to walk through life unnoticed
As if they never mattered
Could be a punishment worse than death
And at the same time
That punishment is the only way you could truly be free
Free from the things you want people to remember about you
But also free from the things you want 'em to forget
I don't know if that freedom exists for me anymore
And even though I dream about what it would be like
It's just a dream
Because I realize now more than ever
That I can't have my cake and eat it too
No one can
And as time goes on
We will always be loved by some and hated by others
And whether the people who talk bad about you know it or not
They really save you from obscurity
Every time they mention your name
You see, anytime anybody ever talks about you
Either directly or indirectly
They put a quarter in your immortal meter
They keep you alive
Whether they want to or not
They practically do the opposite of what they wanna do
Which is forget you
I dedicate this song
To the day when you motherfuckers finally figure it out
And the day that you bury me
And erase the memory of me
Here lies a man
Who became forgotten to the world
In his search to the key for immortality
He never made an impact
He changed nothin'
And his words meant nothin'
He never contributed to the rap game
He never gave you anything to talk about
He never existed
And he never made a difference
His name was Nobody
