[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
