I've been trying to hide
Feel you watching with your evil eye
Move from me with your bait disguise
Don't speak if it's gonna be lies
From times and way down town
You know I been about, I been around
Yeah, I played the fool, I been the clown
I see through you 'cause my sight's profound
Imitation ain't flattery (no, no, no)
But inspiration, that's a different ting
And while I own nothing, not even a soul, I bring
Don't smile and then try bite me
Uptown, downtown, all around town
They listen to the sound (oh-oh)
Head in the clouds, one foot on the ground
It still gets around (oh-oh)
I ain't in a rush, gonna push
Let the big man do his thing
If you gotta force it
Then you know it ain't happening
♪
I've been going 'round and 'round
In my head still, I can't work out
This energy that you require
Can't come from me, nah it shan't transpire
From time and way down towns
You know I get down, I get down
On my own, you feel me sire?
Acquired my own style with my own attire
Limitations are a mental ting (just a mental ting)
Appreciation for the little wins (for the little, oh, for the little wins)
On your own two feet with a heart on fire
Look to him if you won't get higher
Go your own way
Do your own ting, yeah, yeah
Go your own way
Do your own ting, yeah, yeah
Uptown, downtown, all around town
They listen to the sound (oh-oh)
Head in the clouds, one foot on the ground
This still gets around (oh-oh)
I ain't in a rush, gonna push
Let the big man do his ting (oh-oh)
If you gotta force it
Then you know it ain't happening (oh-oh)
