[Hook]
Yeah there was a time it was not all good
Nothing really going quite the way it should
But there I stood, bold like font
And now I'm getting what I want
X2
[Verse 1]
High school student, lost in confusion
IPod notes with my raps the solution
The coach never picked me, I felt like a loser
The girls never choosing the dudes on computers
The usual, go home and do something stupid
Was wasting my time tryna fight the exclusion
I made up excuses and jumped to conclusions
That weren't even true I just felt I was useless
So I made it my thing to write songs
And try to do it every day and this is something life long
Found my self trees, yes I light bongs
And then I found myself and now I right wrongs
Started not to care about what other people think
Instead I'm more concerned with tryna push it to the brink
With everything I do, and I don't mean to flaunt
But now I'm getting what I want
[Hook]
[Verse 2]
I used to be lame, but now they all love me
I used to be ugly, like scrums during rugby
Yeah you know, but tell me what the deal is
Don't make me come and steal it
So you'll be copping feelings
Don't go there, shouldn't have to do this hot pursuit
And have to rhyme like Dr. Seuss and have to wear this copper suit
I ain't no knight in shining armor, I ain't here to save the day
I'm tryna have a good time, before it goes away
I been back and forth mentally, spending all my energy
Something that wouldn't wish on any of my enemies
And for that I have to thank whoevers friends with me
The meltdown was solved and erased from my memories
So we can go ahead and carry on
Cause life is short and we don't get to live for very long
It's the truth and I ain't tryna taunt
But now I'm getting what I want
