[Intro: NATHAN KING & Filthy Frank]
Long ago the landscape of melody and
Songwriting was given a new life with
The birth of rap
In the world of the record skilled
Lyricists with extensive vocabulary
Complex rhyme schemes and layered
Wordplay swept the globe these musicians
Were known across the industry as rappers
As hip-hop dominated the headphones of millions
My name is nathan king and this is the
Story of how i became the world's greatest rapp-
[sleep alarm goes off]
....Shit
Everyday hundreds of kids
I mеan hundreds
Are sucked into this psеudo rapper phase
This kids will spend the rest of their lives
Thinking they're some sort of lyrical genius
Believing that they'll make it in the music
Industry
Because they have dreams and they're different
When they reach the mixtape stage
You gotta put them down
[Verse 1: NATHAN KING]
Imma crap god everybody in the back nod
But my knob leaves all the ladies slack job (woo)
Least it does in my head
It's a magical place, so punctuality is dead
Yeah I'm brain dead
That's what my mom and dad said
And I'm crazier than a schizophrenic patient
Off his meds
He's here and he's dangerous
Someone call the feds
Man fuck that shit I'm gonna go back to bed
And even when I go to sleep I can't get any rest
The dream girl means the world fight loneliness
Hope she doesn't use the gigi when I put it to the test
That oppressive stress still want to be the best
Yeah I dream big
Even when I'm feeling down
In the sea of expectation Imma certainly drown
Cause my peers pals and parents
All said I was a clown
You'll never go as
Far as eight mile
Road is going down
I'm just another voice and a face in the crowd
But I'm rapping it loud and I'm rapping proud
I'm raining on your parade cause my head's in the clouds
Now this piece of rap version is gonna fuck up your town
(come on)
[Chorus: Jim Infantino]
I'm addicted to stress
That's the way that I get things done
If I'm not under pressure then I sleep too long
And I hang around like a bum
I think I'm going nowhere and that makes me nervous
Everybody's out to get me but I feel alright
Everybody's out to get me but I feel alright
Everybody's out to get me but I feel alright
Everybody's thinking 'bout me
[Refrain: Jim Infantino]
It's the little things that get you
It's the little things that get you when you weren't paying attention
It's the little things that get you
It's the little things that get you
It's the little things that get you when you weren't paying
[Verse 2: NATHAN KING]
I try to be upbeat when I'm surrounded by hate
Try to spread positivity to those who can relate
But no matter what I try I can't seem to get a date
So fuck positivity I'm going to Irate
So fuck the world and all the fakes this is all I can take
And shoulders carry passion and it's starting to break
But there's a lot at stake then I made a mistake
Jerk up all my motivation now I got all it takes
Yeah that's bullshit
How there's not enough time to get you down
And dick around
So I sit here and why
Until the thought of mind emerges from behind
Would you pick up all your stresses and drop it
Into some rhymes
And a new problem rises straight out the ash
How the fuck do I do this
So I read up on the raps
So I stay up late
Shout shit
Record a crash
Realize I spent the years on [?]
Bye in the flash
There's no limits to ideas
But there's limits to cash
Though my plans are all connected
But they're starting to clash
Realized my problems are unsolved in the trash
I break down and freak out
I bang my head till it's mash
I'm not the best I can be
But a C is still a pass
Reading these audience reviews kind of like chewing glass
This kid's not a rapper he's a pain in the ass
Yeah but his flow is pretty good so let's give him a chance
[Chorus: Jim Infantino]
I'm addicted to stress
That's the way that I get things done
If I'm not under pressure then I sleep too long
And I hang around like a bum
I think I'm going nowhere and that makes me nervous
Everybody's out to get me but I feel alright
Everybody's out to get me but I feel alright
Everybody's out to get me but I feel alright
Everybody's thinking 'bout me
[Refrain: Jim Infantino]
It's the little things that get you
It's the little things that get you when you weren't paying attention
It's the little things that get you
It's the little things that get you
It's the little things that get you when you weren't paying
[Verse 3: NATHAN KING]
Due dates due dates which are you dates
Fine lets go to dinner
But then she said she needs to move dates
She probably turned off cause my parents are roommates
But a shitty job makes it hard to move into a new place
So i put in applications only to be rejected
Jobs and girls the same answers like
Minds are connected
On the road to be accepted
But I only feel neglected
Don't know what I expected
And the shoulders of directors
Are always the potential
Underwhelmed by what I've done
But overwhelmed if you just pencil
Fucking panic because my life is feeling
Oh so existential
Leads my failure to me shit cause my lasting
Consequential
Man I wanna create I wanna film make
I wanna walk up to speilberg and say excuse me mate
Man those films are great
They're straight oscar bait
But there's a new motherfucker taking center stage
Yeah I dream big
Bigger than it could be which becomes the biggest problem
I'm expressing me cause it feels so physically
But I wish I could see
That I'm addicted to stress and I'm about to OD
(come on)
[Chorus: Jim Infantino]
I'm addicted to stress
That's the way that I get things done
If I'm not under pressure then I sleep too long
And I hang around like a bum
I think I'm going nowhere and that makes me nervous
Everybody's out to get me but I feel alright
Everybody's out to get me but I feel alright
Everybody's out to get me but I feel alright
Everybody's thinking 'bout me
[Refrain: Jim Infantino]
It's the little things that get you
It's the little things that get you when you weren't paying attention
It's the little things that get you
It's the little things that get you
It's the little things that get you when you weren't paying
