Lyrics

Words can get in the way of what I have to say

There hasn’t been two pedestals before

A second melody above the harmony

That I have worked so hard to enjoy

Do you hear what I hear?

Cuz i can't hear myself so clear

They see a frontman disappear

I got to give it up (give it up, give it up, give up)

You gotta lay it down

I gotta step it up (lay it down, lay it down, lay it down)

and win over the crowd

But If I give it up (back it up, back it up, back it up)

Are you gonna hold it down?

I’ll start running (hit the ground); hit the ground

I got to give it up (give it up, give it up, give up)

You gotta lay it down

I gotta step it up (lay it down, lay it down, lay it down)

and win over the crowd

But If I give it up (back it up, back it up, back it up)

Are you gonna hold it down?

I’ll start running (hit the ground); hit the ground

You’re a misunderstander

If you think that I’m the second banana

Reputations can change just like the roles we play

This ain't the picture that I had in mind

First impressions always, they stay inside your brain

I drew a painting but you’re color blind

I don’t have the same quick wit

But I’ll pretend I’m fine with it

I’m in charge; let’s not forget

I got to give it up (give it up, give it up, give up)

You gotta lay it down

I gotta step it up (lay it down, lay it down, lay it down)

and win over the crowd

But If I give it up (back it up, back it up, back it up)

Are you gonna hold it down?

I’ll start running (hit the ground); hit the ground

I got to give it up (give it up, give it up, give up)

You gotta lay it down

I gotta step it up (lay it down, lay it down, lay it down)

and win over the crowd

But If I give it up (back it up, back it up, back it up)

Are you gonna hold it down?

I’ll start running (hit the ground); hit the ground

You’re a misunderstander

If you think that I’m the second banana

Everybody sees it

Everybody knows about it except for you

But nobody talks about it

Because they know they’re not as cool as you

Because you walk the walk but through your own paces

I didn’t trade Indiana just to play the second banana

I didn’t come from Atlanta just to be the second banana

Forget about propaganda. I refuse to be the second banana

And from their panorama it looks like i'm the second banana

Fighting against your manner I don't wanna be the second banana

I got to give it up

You gotta lay it down

I gotta step it up and win over the crowd

But if I give it up are you gonna hold it down?

I’ll start running; hit the ground

I got to give it up (give it up, give it up, give up)

You gotta lay it down

I gotta step it up (lay it down, lay it down, lay it down)

and win over the crowd

But If I give it up (back it up, back it up, back it up)

Are you gonna hold it down?

I’ll start running (hit the ground); hit the ground

I got to give it up (give it up, give it up, give up)

You gotta lay it down

I gotta step it up (lay it down, lay it down, lay it down)

and win over the crowd

But If I give it up (back it up, back it up, back it up)

Are you gonna hold it down?

I’ll start running (hit the ground); hit the ground

You’re a misunderstander

If you think that I’m the second banana

I didn’t trade Indiana just to be the second banana
