Generally I'm a modest guy
I've eaten my share of humble pie
Sometimes that's delicious, but I do have wishes
To swim with the biggest of bigger fishes
What would be the point if we were all the same?
Life would be an abject hackneyed game
No frame of reference for pleasure when there's no pain
I'd rather not refrain
I'd rather not abstain
Do you believe I'm special?
Would you agree I'm special?
How could I be so special?
Do I believe I'm special?
I'm not afraid to be cast aside
Invisible guys don't need to hide
The struggle is real
But what's the deal
When people feel like they need to have the most appeal?
I remember practicing most weekends
At the expense of spending joyful time with friends
Imagining that it would yield the best rewards
Not for repeating hip-hop doo-wop chords!
Do you believe I'm special?
Would you agree I'm special?
How could I be so special?
Do I believe I'm special?
My mom always told me I was a one-of-a-kind
But now that I'm old and wise, that thought
It never be runnin' my mind
What makes me different than all of the other dreamers
I can't impress 'em with bars when I meet up with the reaper
I said ignorance is blissful
World is abysmal, so every time I rap
I gotta snap like a wish bone
What the future holds
Let me look into my crystal ball
I ain't got no friends left 'cause I ticked 'em off
I ain't slept in days
I'm getting more Fs than As
When this record plays
Evident I'm in a mental haze
Staring at the Yellow Moon while Aaron Neville sings
Heard the devil say that I'd never be special
Wait
I control my destiny
Piecing up what is left of me
Confidence and common sense'll be the recipe
This industry, it be faker than pro wrestling
'Makes me wonder if this talent
Really is a specialty
Anyway, who am I to fret like this?
Maybe a key change can pull me out of this abyss!
Sooner or later I shall find myself
And make amends with the me left on the shelf
In a dance, an epic vast expanse of kids
A round-robin championship of ids
Maybe I'm unique and maybe not
But I might as well deliver all I've got!
Do you believe I'm special?
Would you agree I'm special?
How could I be so special?
Do I believe I'm special?
Do you believe we're special?
Would you agree we're special?
How could we be so special?
Do we believe we're special?
Do you believe we're special?
Would you agree we're special?
How could we be so special?
Do we believe we're special?
