This May Be Misleading...

This may be misleading (leading)
Don't label me a rapper
Gon' 'head tell your friends how you hate me but listenin' with rapture
To live a life so sublime, quiet and benign
It's not impossible, don't try to make it to a crime (crime, uh)
Been sittin' on this too long time for standin' out (standin' out)
Feel like the stars aligned for me to plan it out (plan it out)
Back against the wall but feet up under me
Benevolence ain't never meant braggin' about your currency
Nobody wants ya two cents nigga, even if you penny wise
Careful who you sleepin' with, 'cause even snakes got pretty eyes
All of a sudden love for me, you know that's unrequited
And it ain't movin' in silence just 'cause you say it quiet
Never been a victim of nothin' other than circumstance
Still learned how to be a gentleman and show romance (show romance)
But don't be askin' for Chanel #9 when you only like a 5
Why'd I even waste my time?

Woo!

Why'd I even waste my time?

(Clears throat)

Who Am I?

Westside Wes (uh, uh, yeah)

I just lost it in the booth, now that's a murder scene
They gon' disect everything you do, go prep for surgery
They got it twisted, think they missed it how I'm 'bout to check it (check it)
A walking target for some hatred often misdirected
Been on a different page since 1999
Some people want it all, I'll settle for a little peace of mind
Won't let my losses hold me captive like menageries
Been reachin' all my life just for a little thread of sanity
A lot of people risk it all for some diamond stones (stones)
But I'll still be pushin' this Kia defaultin' on loans (loans)
Before I let another nigga's, nigga tell me somethin' (tell me somethin')
I'm just tryna, tryna chill and sip like it ain't nothin' (nothin')
Take a look at me and know this is the life I chose (chose)
I don't blend in at all, I just super-impose ('pose)
If you didn't know me then, I'm a stranger now
Ima milk 'em dry then thank the Lord for the holy cow (Lord for the holy cow)

I don't know him, you know him?

No (laughing)
