I’m the someone that’s talking a lot Once I get started don’t stop I could be gone in a drop Grown man in Cookie Monster socks Yeah I gotta be me Keep my obsession compulsed So I can wake with a pulse Hair barely composed Doing the most putting crowns on skulls I gotta be me In my mind should be likely to blow Don’t have the highest of hopes Just put it all in a quote Talent or just something undiagnosed I gotta be me Young in the heart wise in the de la soul Temper is hot but the knees Still clocking old cold I gotta be me I gotta be I gotta be I gotta be I gotta be I gotta be I gotta be I gotta be I gotta be Day job work always under in pay Begging my son just to play Yahtzee or something today Who rocks a tie on fucking laundry day Hey I gotta be me Pizza and sushi is fine I’m more vodka than wine Dumb early on time Up at 4:00 and in bed by 9:00 I gotta be me I could really just go for some Thai Slightly obsessed with the time I love it don’t get it It’s fine Social but I’ll probably decline Umm respectfully I gotta be me Sarcasm is law I can’t help it all Leave a joke in the open I’m going in for the jaw I gotta be me I gotta be I gotta be I gotta be I gotta be I gotta be I gotta be I gotta be I gotta be I’m either gonna be bored be asleep or keep score Either if and always never never not the and/or Keep a never ending story in the sock drawer Glamor in the heat of the moment I’m up in it what I work for No matter the rewrite always part of the folklore Keep it poppin 808’s with every step for the parkour On course for the par rough pace at a slow pour Life is what I make it turn signal for detour I win by not winning them all, no checkmating A+ from the gift of applause or head shaking Do me to set paths, seek growth, stress hatred For those fighting through abuse, misgendering, dead naming To be them, who have the right to be proud and not vanish Young me outcast half Rican with no Spanish All me, all damaged glazed gesso upon the canvas Painted poem pawing pain pushing passion, my own planet I gotta be I gotta be I gotta be I gotta be I gotta be I gotta be I gotta be I gotta be
