Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
I'm really gonna one-take this shit
I know people say that a lot, but uh
This one is...
This one's for me, yeah
Uh, you thought I had a vision
Like I could map it out, follow like I planned for this, and
Sit on the couch and play it out like it's on Activision
Call of Duty, storming Normandy without ammunition
I had to fit in with me, and never ask permission
I had to rap in an Uber cab and you had to listen
I had to sell it like half sinner and half innocent
Mastered this in back of the class, so now I don't have to listen
Dylan you rhyme too much, you rap too fast
Act too black, you lack the swag, and while I'm at it
I might add that I'm an addict to acting erratic
Typing all caps, like 'blibbity-blah this rapper is batsh*t'"
Yeah, I get it. You've been feeling lonely lately, and distant
And you might feel bigger behind the keys of this addiction
But while you stirring that up, I'll be sittin' in the kitchen
Spittin' ill as shit with Reve-imus Lincoln, flippin' up Bisquick
Don't be a simpleton, you're looking at a gentleman
And lately I've been spiking more aces than f*ckin' Wimbledon
I'd rather be back in the Fe with G-Patt and Pendleton
Rapping for sh*ts and giggles than have to impress these middlemen
Whatchu expecting? I'm highly educated
Underestimated, underdressed, and most anticipated
Getting sick of waiting, yeah, getting really sick of waiting
Thinking that I've gone too far for y'all to still debate it
You can't save me, I can't save you
When every day seems like Deja Vu
Come and wake me, I've paid my dues
C'est la vie babe, let's save love...
Yo, they said I couldn't do this
The truth is, the more I'm acting foolish
The closer to it I get, the more fitted the shoe is
The more strangers come at me saying, "I can help you do this"
The fewer fingers it's taking to count out who my crew is
I want to do like 70 shows, like Mila Kunis
I guess I'm truant, late for the game and coming soon-ish
People coming up to me like they showin' me the blueprint
I'm sorry, I don't need assistance becoming a cool kid
So what you selling then? Peddling quotes
I'll peddle you my life story you can fill in the notes
See my parents taught me love, see what fits him the most
So here I am banging the drums and eatin' Cinnamon Toast
I'm on the road to redemption, I've said that before
I meant it before, I meant it back in '74
When my dad was paddling out on freakin' 7'3 boards
Hiking Malibu and chasing women down every shore
You better be sure, the twinkle in your retina's pure
One day your son will change the world and open heavenly doors
Of remedies for whatever you can bet money for
Envy and jealousy, I bet he's bangin' every door
I'm learning this: get to know your enemies more
And get to know yourself - may never be ending this war
But somehow I feel destiny is sending me forth
Why do I feel I've been here before
Cause you can't save me
I can't save you
When every day seems
Like Deja Vu
Come and wake me
I've paid my dues
C'est la vie babe
Let's save love too
You can't wake me
I can't save you
When every day seems
Like Deja Vu
Come and wake me
I've paid my dues
C'est la vie babe
Let's save love... yeah
