XV - One of One lyrics

All these boring rappers

All these boring rappers
I would think y'all wouldn't need rest
Still, they're sleeping on me
Only they ain't see my dream yet
Telling me I'll be next
Cut it out like a c-sec
Staring at the screen of my Apple 2-GS
Room, off to Squaria we going
That would be my room
Kill them with the flow
The studio becomes a tomb
Stay in tune, hit every note
But, I refuse to be convinced
'til I'm getting every vote
Want to know the price of fame
I can't even get a quote
Tell them hoes I want to hang
I can't even get some rope
But, I got them in control once
They pick up their remote
And I don't gloat, it's funny though
Cause you'll never know
I was the seventh grade's wordiest child
They heard my style was a flow
That led to courteous bows but deep inside
I tried to hide behind my permanent smile
Hope that perfection's somewhere
Lurking around, but now

They can never make me, I'm a one of one
Go and try to replace me
They'll say it can't be done
Because, everybody's nobody but nobody is me
Yep everybody's nobody but nobody is me, yep

See, everything you do
You do for yellow meets where blue
I do for him, her, me, and you
'til I'm the three subtract from two
Never was a project dude
I was that dude making science
Projects in that Ivy school
Wondering why I can't be cool
Mama hope for Ivy Leagues
Instead I was rapping tracks
Get at poison ivy green
Even though I'm Batman Black
Told me I was gifted
So I thought: I have to rap bachelor pad
Full of bad bitches cause now I mastered that
Man they're here from space, G
But Kansas might have changed me
It only made me stranger like
A person you can't name, see
I wrote scripts to make the girls like me
I promised a actress
I would have that broad
Casted like a livestream
So one time for them Squarians who riding
They held son down
Now the dark night's rising
At times I didn't fit in
And went in to hiding
Until someone came to remind me

How could a nigga be so fly
That the sky was below him
Man, it shines so bright that
His eyes couldn't show 'em
Vizzy vizzy vizzy, you know him
The turtle that breeze in my hair like a comb
A click in my heels still
Couldn't take me home
And wishing on a star couldn't
Do nothing for 'em crabs in the bucket
But lucky I wasn't worried 'bout no beaches
So all I gotta do is make them see this
Believe it

She's trying to draw me with a paintbrush
You say you want me but you hate us
You say you want me but it ain't love

She said she doesn't want to see me
I'll let your heart break freely
I guess you'll never know the real me
She should meet me
