[Verse 1]
Generally, I'm a modest guy
I've eaten my share of humble pie
Sometimes that's delicious but I do have wishes
To swim with the biggest of bigger fishes
What would be the point if we were all the same?
Life would be an abject hackneyed game
No frame of reference for pleasure when there's no pain
I'd rather not refrain
I'd rather not abstain

[Refrain]
Do you believe I'm special?
Would you agree I'm Special?
How could I be so special?
Do I believe I'm special

[Verse 2]
I'm not afraid to be cast aside
Invisible guys don't need to hide
The struggle is real but what's the deal
When folks feel like they need to have the most appeal
I remember practicing most weekends
At the expense of spending joyful time with friends
Imagining that it would yield the best rewards
Not for repeating hip-hop doo-wop chords
[Refrain]
Do you believe I'm special?
Would you agree I'm Special?
How could I be so special?
Do I believe I'm special

[Rap; Isaac Castor]
Mom always told me I was a one of a kind
But now that I'm old and wise
I thought it never be runnin' my mind
What makes me different than all of the other dreamers
I can't impress him with bars when I meet up with the reaper
I said ignorance is blissful
World is abyssmal
So every time I rap I gotta snap like a wishbone
What the future holds, let me look into my crystal ball
I ain't got no friends left, 'cause i tick'd 'em off
I ain't slept in days
I'm gettin' more F's than A's
When this record plays ever then I'm in a mental haze
Starin' at the yellow moon while Aaron Neville sings
Heard the devil say I'd never be special
Wait I control my destiny
Piercing up what is left for me
Confidence and common sense it be the recipe
This industry it be faker than pro-wrestling
Makes me wonder if this talent really is a specialty

Anyway, who am I to fret like this?
Maybe a key change can pull me out of this abyss

[Key Change]
[Verse 3]
Sooner or later I shall find myself
And make amends with the me left on the shelf
In a dance and epic vast expansive kids
A round-robin championship of ids
Maybe I'm unique, and maybe not
But I might as well deliver all I've got

[Refrain]
Do you believe I'm special?
Would you agree I'm special?
Do I believe I'm special?

Do you believe we're special?
Would you agree we're special?
How could we be so special?
Do we believe we're special?


Do you believe we're special?
Would you agree we're special?
How could we be so special?
Do we believe we're special?
