[Verse 1] I've spent many moons with my head on a pillowcase - Retinas to the ceiling John-Lennon-dreaming John-Lennon-jealous of the dreamers that achieved it I'm better off John-Lennon, Bed-In, Sleep-In... I John-Lennon-Don't-Believe-In-Jesus But I'm running out of people I can speak with; I was never one to get on kneecaps, elbows on my mattress Both palms pressed below the whiskers on my gla** chin I don't give a sh** if Kanye said it Or Rhymefest wrote it Or whoever gets the credit - Nobody walked for me except my dad and my mama's legs And both of them are missing from my holidays Pardon my Francais f** your pumpkin pie! All I need is a notepad, opened wide And a sharpened pencil for my thoughts To jot you a letter from my heart Signed A Nobody With A Notepad... [Hook x2] I'm just a Nobody With a Notepad -
Forever standing in the shadows of my old man! [Verse 2] Red pen pressed against the pages Leaving ink stain trails as I pen my pain Instruments speak through my speakers Influencing the pictures my right fingers paint! Self-portraits exposing my flaws and traits And face an uphill crawl for props and praise 'Cause I'd rather draw than trace, R. Crumb I keep on truckin' Feet keep running at Usain Bolt speeds Pen bleeds to the rhythm Chest pounding before I rip through the ribbon k** the kick to the snare Fists hit the air Now hit me with your rose like we living on a prayer! Take my hand, we'll make it, I swear! Solemnly so I got me my notepad and a sharpened pencil For my thoughts to jot you a letter from my heart - Signed A Nobody With A Notepad... [Hook x2]
