[Verse One: G, The Wiz]
I'm self taught and i'm raised
In a little town with no rap game
Everything feels so damn mundane
I need a little more sun than just the rain
I've been through all sorts of terrible weather
Trynna catch buzz without any feathers
I hope my skin tone doesn't have to matter
How many times do you ever see a brown rapper?
[Hook: Emily Haines]
We're paralyzed, we apologize
Our hell is a good life
[Verse Two: G, The Wiz]
It's sounds much better not quite right
I work twice as hard still I put up a fight
With no one to blame but just myself
For picking up a dream never up on a shelf
I'm wasting all my money take trips to the well
Hoping for a day that I know what will sell
I got beats for days
Rhymes on the page
Turn the sh** up
Waiting to get up on stage
Although I'm sorry to say
It might not be today
So I pack up my bags and put it all away
The booking agents never look for me
Yet the NSA's got their eyes on me
Border patrol never believes in me
I tell them I'm an artist trynna get my name out there
They take me to the back sayin you ain't going out there
I say what gives I say it's just not fair
It's hard as it is trying to reach new faces
Why does it always feel like we're the forgotten races?
[Hook: Emily Haines]
We're paralyzed, we apologize
Our hell is a good life
[Verse Three: G, The Wiz]
And when I make it big I'll never ever have to worry
Because the whole worlds on my side keeping up with good faith
Got good taste in music and I'll keep amusing
On a road to gain
Dominate obstacles that come in my way
You can't phase me (phase me)
In all your distrust; you're just lazy (lazy)
If you got the cash you better pay me (pay me)
But who am I kidding I'm just a kid without a penny
Inside of a bedroom making raps up plenty
Mom walked by and she look at me funny
Saying you ain't going nowhere with a name like that
If Mr. Potter can make it then so can I
Both magicians both from Surrey
Making magic from my closet
Never sh**ting, with a running faucet
I still laugh at my pains just to make the gains
Because
[Hook: Emily Haines]
We're paralyzed, we apologize
Our hell is a good life
