Study

Thought I should make a video just to let y'all know
What I'm doing and to tell you what I'm doing it for
I don't say much 'cuz lately I've just been shootin to score
That's a metaphor 'cuz I don't take no shots anymore

Yeah I've been a contender
I'm a man on a mission
But see it's hard to get better
When there's just no competition

I just want to improve
I don't mean to be dissin
But to do what I do
My dude you gotta be disciplined

I mean no compensation
Intrinsic motivation
I was the jack of all trades
but stay the king of impatience

I would go straight to practice
After music rehearsal
I had to tell all my coaches
I got the lead in the musical

I would run in dress socks
I would sing in my Nikes
Learning dance routines
On stage in my jersey

But now I hit 24, wanna retire like Kobe
And I wanna be a kid again watching Rolie Polie Olie
Yeah those were days, all the stuff I was into
I had so much to say, but not much to contribute

Now things just get in the way
Everyone's moving but going nowhere
Can't appreciate
What's in front of you til it's over

Oh I'm sorry
If you don't agree please ignore me
Tell me to stay in my lane
Go make yourself a priority

Let's all sit our desks
And get paid to be boring
Am I slowly declining?
Because I feel less important

And now my body is aching
When I wake up in the morning
All my friends call me a dad
'Cuz all my jokes soundin corny

I'm not overdramatic
I'm just tellin' my story
I'm still in my mid-20s
Why's it feel like I turned 40??

There's people I wanna meet
I envy David Letterman
Can I sit in that seat
Across from Ellen DeGeneris

Yeah we need recognition
Or else who's gonna remember it
Should I wait and be patient
DiCaprio in the Revenant

People call me unique
Some people call me irrelevant
Just a spoon full of sugar
Helps me to swallow the medicine

It's about the appearance
And making bigger connections
Should I swear in my lyrics
Start cursing just for the hell of it?

Maybe then I'll be relevant
I'll just wear a disguise
Then turn into J.Fly

Should I be nervous or worried
Intimidated by likes?
Or should I measure my impact
By the look their eyes
