lirik lagu lido lido - i'm not a rapper
[verse 1]
uh, i was named after my grandpa
raised by both parents
grew up spendin’ a lot of time with my grandma
y’all don’t really give a d~mn, huh?
afraid of missin’ the moment
somebody bring the camera
it might be a kodak
i’m capable of great things
sorry, but i know that
and i know dudes that wanna go back
that’s why i feel the need to hold back
tell me i’m spoiled, my folks knew what i needed
in a bad game, but the parenting succeeded
so i play fair, i’m on that fair play
that don’t necessarily mean i’mma stay there
pardon the concentration
i always think about chord progressions
while havin’ a conversation
so what was it that you said?
is it goin’ to my head?
growin’ on stories that i’ve read
and i don’t feel the need to be out partyin’ instead
i spend my days mumblin’ in a studio
in a business based on who we know
maybe i should get my priorities in order
i keep thinkin’ of all the thoughts i’ve never thought of
this world is confused, so i’m tryna spend more time
caressin’ my girl than my shoes
she feel like i don’t write about her, and i should
but what is there to say when everything is all good?
now she like matter fact, “don’t do it, don’t put me in a rap”
the metaphors is heavy, she won’t know how to act
i rap about my ex and trust me, i don’t want her back
somebody clap, somebody bring a plaque
truly sorry, i forgot to read what’s on the back
[verse 2]
steel expression, facin’ a magnet
i went to that same place out of habit
she can’t face that we had it
check under the carpet for traces of magic
she came into my life to spread some light in it
had to let go of her hand so i could write with it
they not likin’ it
everything i say must be coded
or else somebody might get it
and as we play on
i’m frustrated ’bout the crayons she stay on
i don’t mess up, usually
there’s a last name where a heart used to be now
and i don’t fight with my emotions
doors steady open, keys are my devotion
and everyone movin’ in slow motion
like they tryna run it at the bottom of the ocean
[verse 3]
i ain’t tryna get no drama, so i
do my teachers like they did obama
i’m not a dropout
but at times i’ve been
one drop from droppin’ out
and all i know is open arms, never been rejected
though i recall the feelin’ of bein’ neglected
thanks to my mom, i am very well reflected
so you don’t need to explain, homie, i get it
bitter dudes say i sound like so and so
translation, sound like i’m goin’ pro
and it’s hard keepin’ it on the low
when the people that matter tell you you on a roll
[verse 4]
small fears, all cares
as long as you are somethin’ they can call theirs
got songs that gotta wait like four years
so tell me who i am, man, i’m all ears
and there was no doubt
’til i found myself in a big city
all alone in a hotel room
like, this is what i sell to ’em
they say i’m sick and they hope that i get well soon
mom stressed i never eat
and i keep underestimatin’ sleep
i’m just tryna put a blessin’ on a beat
and make those who do stop questionin’ the leap
[verse 5]
confession from a geek, the truth goes
i actually write better wearin’ new clothes
and watchin’ these rappers makes me wanna do shows
too many cameras, help me come up with a new pose
head’s wishin’ time could be reversible
i’m a part of a new era, see? we personal
what do i put so much thought into these verses for?
lookin’ around like, do i have to curse to blow?
maybe i’m just thinkin’ too much
~n~lyzin’ everything, i’m shrinkin’ too much
they say i’m bigger than myself
no connection to reality
i’m blinkin’ too much
let’s be honest for a minute
close my eyes, i’m not seein’ any limit
goin’ more places than a stewardess
i’m not a rapper, i just sound good doin’ this
