Nobody (feat. Watsky)

Nobody, nobody I was nobody (nobody), nobody believed Pregnant women couldn't even conceive Man your aunt used to hate on my steez Then she heard it, fell in love, and now your aunt's sorry like Aziz I'm at the jubilee, let me know if you believe I've awoken, they thought I was joking, wouldn't humor me Man they used to laugh at him, thought that I was ludicrous I don't mean the rapper, just the adjective, man can you imagine it? 'Cause now I'm shining luminous, just look at who I grew to be Accomplishments are numerous, been reppin' my community It's something (it's something), how you can start from nothing Then rock it from microscopic to the topic of discussion from the bottom And then you touch the roof, that's like a tongue ring Could change my name, still would get the W like tungsten That's a science joke, I'm the broke, tie a rope around the dying goat to pull it out the lion's throat Man look at Ryan go The way I carry a mic, I'm gonna end up with some flowers on my burial site I'm still moving, ascending on my aerial flight Breaking every radio, smashing stereotypes But I was supposed to curl up, I was supposed to back down I was supposed to fade, evaporate into the background I was supposed to never be nothing but made it to something I knew I could do it, I will make it through it I'll prove it, I was just another human who was supposed to be Nobody, nobody Been acting like nobody (But I don't wanna be) Nobody Ayup I wasn't born in a nativity, just in anonymity So all the props they've given me, I've risen to divinity He felt like Chris, and 'Jimmy!' made him feel good Her whole perspective changed when she heard 'Knocking On Wood' He got arrested in college, that shit was not planned He was scurred, then he heard 'God Damn' And played it, and played it, 'cause what I say, he related I became his favorite, he made it out to my tour date, elated Now he's up in the front going crazy Word for word in my cadence I told him "I was nobody, now I'm sold out on stages" And that got me feeling six feet, but I couldn't fathom That my words could be the light that lead the weary out the cavern I'm still better than your verbals, I'm eating rappers like hors d'oerves I'm Biggie but more Urkel (What you doing?) I'm rocking mics until I'm sore, purple (And then what?) And then I'm outtie like four circles Dreamt of the brighter days, stuck to the battle plan Weathered all the tidal waves, climbed through the avalanche Hop up out the back of bands and then I make them clap their hands Boy I'm feeling like the man But I was supposed to curl up, I was supposed to back down I was supposed to fade, evaporate into the background I was supposed to never be nothing but made it to something I knew I could do it, I will make it through it I'll prove it, I was just another human who was supposed to be Nobody, nobody Been acting like nobody (But I don't wanna be) Nobody It takes smart choices and dumb luck That's why there's billionaire dumbfucks Geniuses driving dump trucks Suckers with Lexuses, experts who won't make one buck I'm seen dreams die fast and wither slow I've also seen 'em blooming where they're not supposed to grow And I've seen the ones I've planned and watched 'em blossom in the snow Ask me if I'm dank? (Are you dank?) Preposterously so Another day, gotta get up and go Keep on plotting even when my body be begging me no Could be a regular Joe, but I gotta keep a promise That I made to myself over a decade ago Gotta shot and almost spoiled it, no one's gonna foil it I know I can toil, or flush this down the toilet And that's why I try like Macy Gray So I'ma keep trying till I'm grey And emaciated, say what you wanna say you may see I'm more than where you placed me Whatever the case be, I'm singing in the rain So you can bring the lobster, me and Spose will bring the pain It's Watsky and the fucking King of Maine But I was supposed to curl up, I was supposed to back down I was supposed to fade, evaporate into the background I was supposed to never be nothing but made it to something I knew I could do it, I will make it through it I'll prove it, I was just another human who was supposed to be Nobody, nobody Been acting like nobody (But I don't wanna be) Nobody They told me (no, no) Yesterday they told me (no, no) Ayup (Been acting like no, nobody, nobody)
