Lyrics
Hi I'm Daveed Diggs and I got something to say. I'm tired of worrying whether or not you will like it I'm tired of tripping off whether somebody gon' buy it! I have a lot to offer when life is unfair But under pressure I'm the fresher Prince of Bel Air! Now this is the story all around town About how my life got flipped, turned upside-down, And I'd like to take a minute; just sit right there I'll tell you about how I became the Prince of Big Hair! On the west coast I was born and raised Where horny Californians are Hip-Hop craze! Chilling out, maxing relaxing all cool And checking out chicks while rapping in school When a couple of guys who were up to no good Cast me in a musical up in the hood I met Lin-Manuel and Thomas Kail was there They said "Your talent ups the ante, but why the big hair?" I went as Thomas Jefferson and the I got cast But when I rap as Lafayette nobody's as fast I'm constantly confused cause I'm a half-black Jewish mensch-man Every night though I steal the show as America's rapping Frenchman (Daveed Diggs!) I'm gonna get horsed when I strain And my red throat redder than bloodstains! (Daveed Diggs!) And I'm never gonna stop Until my chords all pop And burn 'em up, shattering the pain (Daveed Diggs!) Hear me abusing 'em, bruising 'em, misusing them but (Daveed Diggs!) This crazy rap such fun (Daveed Diggs) But it makes my throat numb Perfect rifts, until the tempo shifts But For this to succeed We have to pick up speed (Daveed Diggs!) Jaws squeezed, every word like a wrench But I rap even faster in French I mean- (Daveed Diggs!) Jadu, action movies eventually Their gonna torture me on a bench I mean- (Rap James Bond) I'm a star in the making, that Grammy was mine for the taking (Go for it) When I rap you can stand back (Rap for us) When I'm done bring the band back (Give us more...) Well, there you have it Weren't you all impressed? And remember it's even better when I'm undressed My flashy white smile sends the ladies fair And my other big parts match my really big hair The freestyle love supremes want me on board It's no wonder I'm the winner of a Tony Award When I try my rapid rappin', well don't even dare And the Prince of Big Hair
