Outside the Lines With Rap Genius - OTL 47: Awkword Excerpt #4 -- My Name Is My Name lyrics

Awkword: Well, I hope that that separates me. I'm not a stand-up comedian. What makes me funny is just being around me and hearing me talk sh** about myself. I do it in a way that I think is enjoyable. It's not consistent, it's not excessive. But the reality is, is that I know I'm imperfect. I think that the funniest part about the world is how egotistical everyone is. I mean, the bigger of an a**hole you are, probably the more insecure you are. I mean, the whole thing's a joke So I definitely want to make people uncomfortable if possible. Like, awkward is okay. It's okay to be awkward. As far as I'm concerned, I live this name because I grew up in a situation where I certainly felt completely out of place, uncomfortable. I felt like I was surviving. And now I'm in a great place I've had a lot of messed up things happen to me since graduating from high school or being an adult or whatever it might be. Overall, I'm in a good place. So I now do this, I now live this, I now experience this not just for myself, but for everyone who is in high school or in middle school who knows exactly what I know I lived with. I try to live through them and have them live through me
