Jack of All Trades

I'm a jack of all trades, but a master of none
Pretty good at plenty, never perfect at one
Flawlessness recoiled from me when I was young
Teasing me letting me know I wasn't the one
Twice the effort expended, but still took the L
Repeatedly defeated in my youth, as well
I can't do what they do, cause it's not the same
I'm content with staying in my lane

The rap game has gotten way too polluted
Cause now, everybody and they momma's trying to do it
They not only doin' it, they doin' it well
All they gotta do is breathe on the mic and make it sell
I throw my hat in the ring since I don't sing
I make sure to write and rehearse my own thing
I hit the booth, so everybody's got proof
I can do more than produce that I can cut loose
My comfort level gets higher with time
Never claimed to be the best that was prob'ly yo line
Word is bond and I stick by that
Believe what I do, not what I say remember that
But then it hit me, I'm not an emcee
Truth hits like a ton of bricks, ya feel me
It doesn't have to be that hard
Just remember who you are
And how to play your part

I'm a jack of all trades, but a master of none
Pretty good at plenty, never perfect at one
Flawlessness recoiled from me when I was young
Teasing me letting me know I wasn't the one
Twice the effort expended, but still took the L
Repeatedly defeated in my youth, as well
I can't do what they do, cause it's not the same
I'm content with staying in my lane

So what's missing from the game today
Honesty, Complexity
Not sure, but I know it's not me
I'm not qualified to be called
Or even called to be qualified
Whoever told you that, obviously lied
I know I'll never be an elite emcee
Although I can write a simple song easily
It's not my forte, not my lane in life
To be onstage with a crew rocking down on the mic
I'll gladly yield to the pros, my friend
I'm just a novice at this
They make universes end
At this point, I'm just repeating myself
So I guess right here is where I say farewell
Far as songs go, this'll probably be my last one
Cause perfection ran from me from when I was young
Telling me I was NEVER the one
Cause I'm a jack of all trades, but a master of none

Cause I'm a jack of all trades, but a master of none
Cause I'm a jack of all trades, but a master of none
I'm a jack of all trades, but a master of none
Pretty good at plenty, never perfect at one
Flawlessness recoiled from me when I was young
Teasing me letting me know I wasn't the one
Twice the effort expended, but still took the L
Repeatedly defeated in my youth, as well
I can't do what they do, cause it's not the same
I'm content with staying in my lane
