Sauce Is Matisse, Mr. Hip - All I Got Lyrics

I'm rhyming death defying, tied in this tug of war, trust me
I been realized that I don't want it, why succeed?
The checks arrive for all the other guys but me
I been left behind like I was not the right butt cheek
I'm too goofy, too moody, too awkward
I'm too crude for YouTubing, dude's not heard
I'm doing two amuse bouche, lose the lobster
Cuz all that's in my wallet in my pocket is some Pogs, sir
"Fuck it!" I'll fry a beat because I been a rap fiend
But my page reach is dead for lack of internet memes
I happen to have a habit of rap that interests me
So I chose to spend my time rhyming instead of tech schemes
I'm old and vocal but I'm barely ever mentioned
Come and get some of this embarrassing intense fun
There ain't no going back, I'm dropping no breadcrumbs
Tryna be rapper? I been a rapper and then some

I shoulda been in business, shoulda been a physician
I shoulda been a lot of shit, I was a kid on a mission thinking
That this'd never be the situation I'm living in
But I spit a pensive hit to any sinner who'll listen, listen
I'm not about to quit spitting cuz I got a job
I'm not about to quit spitting cuz I've fallen off
I'm not about to quit spitting cuz I wanna rock
I'm not about to quit spitting, this is all I got

Should've been a teacher but became a professor
Spitting scripture verses similar to the lectures
She say my rhymes the most important, eat it up like breakfast
Her man won't play my SoundCloud, he petty and jealous
Want my downfall like the actor Jean-Paul from Breathless
Blog sites charge for plays, man that shit so selfish
We need some uplifting tunes with some swag and a message
My discography so godly, don't disrespect and treat like a peasant
My voice is like a present so rejoice and lament
If i wasn't rapping, probably be in prison
Shouldn't have been an adjunct, or worked for the government
That was a terrible decision
Should've been a lawyer, rather rap and hit their daughters
Fell in love with the lit after reading Tom Sawyer
Black Shakespeare on this track them DC streets my alma mater
Should've been a lot of shit, now I'm the vegan rock of Gibraltar

I shoulda been in business, shoulda been a physician
I shoulda been a lot of shit, I was a kid on a mission thinking
That this'd never be the situation I'm living in
But I spit a pensive hit to any sinner who'll listen, listen
I'm not about to quit spitting cuz I got a job
I'm not about to quit spitting cuz I've fallen off
I'm not about to quit spitting cuz I wanna rock
I'm not about to quit spitting, this is all I got

All I got's the rhythm and this scripture
I want it heard so I'ma get it in the mixture
But I'm a nerd, I'm surely pitiful to big birds
With my big words, winging it I spit sermons
But then I get upset when i settle in lethargy
When'll I reject what I've been and head for a better me?
Guess I'll never be better than whatever breathes
Every little letter, intentionally I've been a freak

I shoulda been in business, shoulda been a physician
I shoulda been a lot of shit, I was a kid on a mission thinking
That this'd never be the situation I'm living in
But I spit a pensive hit to any sinner who'll listen, listen
I'm not about to quit spitting cuz I got a job
I'm not about to quit spitting cuz I've fallen off
I'm not about to quit spitting cuz I wanna rock
I'm not about to quit spitting, this is all I got
