Nobody (feat. Watsky)

Nobody, nobody
 I was nobody (nobody), nobody believed
 Pregnant women couldn't even conceive
 Man your aunt used to hate on my steez
 Then she heard it, fell in love, and now your aunt's sorry like Aziz
 I'm at the jubilee, let me know if you believe
 I've awoken, they thought I was joking, wouldn't humor me
 Man they used to laugh at him, thought that I was ludicrous
 I don't mean the rapper, just the adjective, man can you imagine it?
 'Cause now I'm shining luminous, just look at who I grew to be
 Accomplishments are numerous, been reppin' my community
 It's something (it's something), how you can start from nothing
 Then rock it from microscopic to the topic of discussion from the bottom
 And then you touch the roof, that's like a tongue ring
 Could change my name, still would get the W like tungsten
 That's a science joke, I'm the broke, tie a rope around the dying goat to pull it out the lion's throat
 Man look at Ryan go
 The way I carry a mic, I'm gonna end up with some flowers on my burial site
 I'm still moving, ascending on my aerial flight
 Breaking every radio, smashing stereotypes
 But I was supposed to curl up, I was supposed to back down
 I was supposed to fade, evaporate into the background
 I was supposed to never be nothing but made it to something
 I knew I could do it, I will make it through it
 I'll prove it, I was just another human who was supposed to be
 Nobody, nobody
 Been acting like nobody
 (But I don't wanna be)
 Nobody
 Ayup
 I wasn't born in a nativity, just in anonymity
 So all the props they've given me, I've risen to divinity
 He felt like Chris, and 'Jimmy!' made him feel good
 Her whole perspective changed when she heard 'Knocking On Wood'
 He got arrested in college, that shit was not planned
 He was scurred, then he heard 'God Damn'
 And played it, and played it, 'cause what I say, he related
 I became his favorite, he made it out to my tour date, elated
 Now he's up in the front going crazy
 Word for word in my cadence
 I told him "I was nobody, now I'm sold out on stages"
 And that got me feeling six feet, but I couldn't fathom
 That my words could be the light that lead the weary out the cavern
 I'm still better than your verbals, I'm eating rappers like hors d'oerves
 I'm Biggie but more Urkel
 (What you doing?)
 I'm rocking mics until I'm sore, purple
 (And then what?)
 And then I'm outtie like four circles
 Dreamt of the brighter days, stuck to the battle plan
 Weathered all the tidal waves, climbed through the avalanche
 Hop up out the back of bands and then I make them clap their hands
 Boy I'm feeling like the man
 But I was supposed to curl up, I was supposed to back down
 I was supposed to fade, evaporate into the background
 I was supposed to never be nothing but made it to something
 I knew I could do it, I will make it through it
 I'll prove it, I was just another human who was supposed to be
 Nobody, nobody
 Been acting like nobody
 (But I don't wanna be)
 Nobody
 It takes smart choices and dumb luck
 That's why there's billionaire dumbfucks
 Geniuses driving dump trucks
 Suckers with Lexuses, experts who won't make one buck
 I'm seen dreams die fast and wither slow
 I've also seen 'em blooming where they're not supposed to grow
 And I've seen the ones I've planned and watched 'em blossom in the snow
 Ask me if I'm dank? (Are you dank?) Preposterously so
 Another day, gotta get up and go
 Keep on plotting even when my body be begging me no
 Could be a regular Joe, but I gotta keep a promise
 That I made to myself over a decade ago
 Gotta shot and almost spoiled it, no one's gonna foil it
 I know I can toil, or flush this down the toilet
 And that's why I try like Macy Gray
 So I'ma keep trying till I'm grey
 And emaciated, say what you wanna say you may see
 I'm more than where you placed me
 Whatever the case be, I'm singing in the rain
 So you can bring the lobster, me and Spose will bring the pain
 It's Watsky and the fucking King of Maine
 But I was supposed to curl up, I was supposed to back down
 I was supposed to fade, evaporate into the background
 I was supposed to never be nothing but made it to something
 I knew I could do it, I will make it through it
 I'll prove it, I was just another human who was supposed to be
 Nobody, nobody
