Travie McCoy - I am Pagliacci lyrics
[Travie McCoy - I am Pagliacci lyrics]
And I kid, I kid around
'Cause, I don't like myself sometimes
I just don't like myself (Sometimes)
The way I am the way I am why so serious?
Growing up bi racial wasn't fun
The proverbial sore thumb
But, I knew who I was from day one
I used humor to cover up my sadness
And triple X FUBU to cover up my man tit's
(Stop looking at me)
White girls loved me 'cause I was kinda black
(Haha)
But too black to introduce me to mom and dad
(For real?) then there's a point in which
You start to get exhausted
For tryna keep these skeletons from
Spilling out the closet
I blogged about my breakdown when
I nearly lost it exercising my demons
Had they asses doing crossfit
I got ninety nine reasons to
Keep from leaving my apartment
Ninety-eight are human beings
The other's because I'm cautious
(Leave me alone)
Sometimes I bite my fingernails
'til they bloody
Might skip a few showers but
My friends still love me
And I know it might seem a little stupid
I'm almost in my forties
Still chubby and reclusive
And I kid, I kid around (To keep from crying)
And I kid, I kid around
(It keeps you smiling)
'Cause, I don't like myself sometimes
I just don't like myself the way I am
The way I am
When every morning's like stepping on
A bunch of loose Legos
Nothing sentimental when your own body
Feels like a rental
Plus my sink ain't even working
I think they cut the water
I'm at the brink at 10 AM
My head's already cluttered
So I went to see this shrink
And he wrote a prescription said:
"There's a clown in town, pay him a visit
I guarantee you by the end of the show
You'll be cured of all your sorrow"
(yeah right) i said, "Doc, sit down
There's something you should know"
(Let me take some notes here)
I am that clown, I been the clown
And I always kid around tryna kill that clown
And you don't really care
You just play a doctor on television (Stupid)
With an overpriced leather chair for
Me to bitch in
"Well, I've assessed the story and I
Think that I should mention
I just prescribe the pills and
Get paid to listen"
'Cause, I don't like myself sometimes
I just don't like myself (Sometimes)
The way I am the way I am
