[Verse 1]
Yeah
I wanna inspire before I expire
I wanna be something different like the X-Files
I wanna be a happy man no matter where I am
So you'll see me coming from a mile with a big smile (oh, that's John)
Yuh, and I think I wanna own a house
Shit, I probably should get some money in my bank account (cha-ching)
Actually I'm pretty happy with a small amount
Worst case there's a few spots I've been scoping out
One at the park and under a bench
Maybe staying with my family or staying with friends
My girlfriend might say that I'm taking the piss
Maybe I'll keep writing music 'til it's making some cents
Oh yeah, and I wanna couple of kids
But if I had 'em now, we'd be living up in a tip
Meanwhile I'll be sticking to the rhyming and shit
Praying one day music will be paying a bit, like

[Chorus]
I've got a few things that I
Wanna get through in my time
So I thought I'd write 'em down
Man, I ain't telling you twice
If you wonder why my mind is racing
I'm telling you why
'Cause I've got no time for wasting
Basically chasing the rhymes
[Verse 2]
Yeah, I wanna be all up in the rap game
So people stop making fun of my stage name
Not a fan of cardio, won't chase fame
But I wanna bigger platform so I can make change
Bliss gave me a watch, said it was my time
"No, I didn't bro" Okay, I lied, but it fits fine
Drapht pointed me out in a crowd one time
"Sup Johnie?" All right, I kinda got a little shy
Nah, well if I'm being serious
You wanna see a rapper blowing up, here he is
Fire under my feet, like when a rocket lifts
Movin' lips 'cause you wanna share it when you've got a gift
I see bigger things coming: apocalypse
Heart never empty like my wallet or my pocket is
Moved from the city, rocking the metropolis
Anonymous and if you think I'm stopping that's a crock of shit

[Chorus]
I've got a few things that I
Wanna get through in my time
So I thought I'd write 'em down
Man, I ain't telling you twice
If you wonder why my mind is racing
I'm telling you why
'Cause I've got no time for wasting
Basically chasing the rhymes
[Bridge]
I've got a dream that I'm gonna make it
I've got a dream that I'll build a life
And when I'm old, they will call me grandpa
And say, "Grandpa's hella dope on a mic" (you're pretty dope, grandpa)

[Verse 3]
Yeah, yeah
Sorta sounds like Blur "Song 2" (woohoo)
Johniepee, you make beats now? Yes, I do
By the way, if you wanna donate that'd be great
Lend me your ears and I'll give you some truth
I say thank you to everybody loving the sound
When you like and you share and you pass it around
Like a wrestler or gravity, you're holding it down
Like my pooper scooper, got this shit off the ground
Johniepee, Lil Dicky with the funny raps
Keeping the wheels spinnin' like the Summernats
Everybody's always saying where the money at? Funny that
I ain't doing it for the money, it's the love of rap
I'ma keep grindin' and doin' my best
Pursuing the rest, not pursuing the cheques
Never consumin' the stress, it's step by step
'Til I see what's next, that's Goals A.F., yes

[Chorus]
I've got a few things that I
Wanna get through in my time
So I thought I'd write 'em down
Man, I ain't telling you twice
If you wonder why my mind is racing
I'm telling you why
'Cause I've got no time for wasting
Basically chasing the rhymes
