Blue Scholars - Ordinary Guy lyrics

I'm just an ordinary guy, ain't
Gotta be scared of nothing, just talk yo

I'm just an ordinary guy
Extraordinary time spent
Ordering my life working over-time nights
Holdin' wires and mics under these lights
But besides that
Always find time to get love
And give it right back

I'm just an ordinary guy
A baby from the eighties
Got a little bit of ADD, perhaps maybe
We've been made to be sedated and such
Then we work while they break then they
Say that we play too much
I ain't known to make it
Out to every single event
Sometimes I live in my bed
With just a pad and a pen


And a broken ipod I bought
Stolen from the block
Got holes in the soles of a third of my socks
Neck deep in contradiction in the
Gut of the beast if you in debt
Then everything you own is on lease
Cause, money don't translate to talent
Money, and talent don't mean
You're guaranteed anything, honey
It's funny
When conditions cause anything to happen
Finally got a comma in
My check account balance
The 27 year challenge of the curse
Maybe even outlive Janice, Jimmy and Kurt

I'm just an ordinary guy
Ignoring all the hype
I let it all pass me by
I got one life, one mic
But i'll try, to always stay humble
With the fist in the sky and
A bowl of brown rice just an ordinary guy
Extraordinary time spent
Ordering my life working over-time nights
Holdin' wires and mics under these lights
But besides that
Always find time to get love
And give it right back

I'm just an ordinary guy, with music as a job
If I could do it
The least you do is give it a try
There's no use
Just sitting asking why these ballers rock
Chains like a ball and chain just to stay fly
Man I'm cool
With just a pair of reeboks and vans
Some artists think they too hard
To talk to their fans
I might, battle just to keep this art sharp
And maybe take a ride through the
Jewish part of Seward Park
Where the view of Lake Washington
Is not too far but far enough
It might be a minute till the come-up
And people keep asking how I
Dropped all this weight
More work and less food on the plate, Man
Just a simple plan with a
Little bit of self discipline
To, keep writing, keep spitting
Keep em listening
To keep on doing what I do to get a salary
My number one mission is to make
My son proud of me

I'm just an ordinary guy
Ignoring all the hype
I let it all pass me by
I got one life, one mic
But i'll try, to always stay humble
With the fist in the sky and
A bowl of brown rice just an ordinary guy
Extraordinary time spent
Ordering my life working over-time nights
Holdin' wires and mics under these lights
But besides that
Always find time to get love
And give it right back

I'm just an ordinary guy
Sometimes I ponder if the
Consequence of all of
This trying to be an artist is
Harder then it needs to be
Wipe the sleep in my
Eye and hit the streets cause
The grind never cease
I know time moves slow, we on the road again
I hate leaving but I love coming home again
It's like we only see the citys at night but
Phonecalls and voicemails from home
Make me feel alright

I'm just an ordinary guy
Ignoring all the hype
I let it all pass me by
I got one life, one mic
But i'll try, to always stay humble
With the fist in the sky and
A bowl of brown rice just an ordinary guy
Extraordinary time spent
Ordering my life working over-time nights
Holdin' wires and mics under these lights
But besides that
Always find time to get love
And give it right back

And give it right back, we give it right back
Always find time to get love
And give it right back
We give it right back, we give it right back
Always find time for love and right back
We give it right, we give it right back
We always find time for love and right back
We give it right back, we give it right back
Always find time to get love
And give it right back
