Lyrics

I’m just your average rapper with a cute family tryna get by


5’6, prolly bout 150
Short brown hair, blue eyes, y’all gon feel me
Just another suburban kid in this lil city
Tryna make it big by coming up with these lil ditties

If I had a nickname then it would be That Dude
I remind myself that every time I’m in a bad mood
I got some news for you, and I know it sounds odd
If you think I got confidence, homie, it’s a facade

Listen
I’m just a regular dude
Who’s pretty good at making effortless tunes
I play the role of a sensitive fool
Not usually one to say I’m better than you, buuuut...
If the shoe fits

I’m outgoing, outspoken, and outlandish
When I’m out on the stage, you know I’m outstanding
But outside of that output, I’m out of place
I’m an outcast, feel like I’m all alone in outer space

There’s cool people among us, but I feel like an impostor
These crews make me feel like a monster
I’m half awesome, half awkward, half failed mathematician
I guess I’ll use the gifts I was given


I’m just your average rapper with a cute family tryna get by
Taking beauty from this chaos, can’t take a day off
I’m just your average rapper with a cute family tryna get by
Taking beauty from this chaos, I hope it pay off
I’m just your average rapper with a cute family tryna get by
Taking beauty from this chaos, can’t take a day off

I’m just your average rapper
You know I say it all the time
I’m just an average rapper
Another day another rhyme


I’m waaaaaaaashed
I’m not cool anymore
Not that I really was before
I’m a dork for sure
I’m bored with trying to make myself sound like the best
This just for sport
Lemme give it a rest

I’ll play to my strengths and pray that it takes
Got some hate but I’ll say that I’m not phased, by the way
Phrasure is able to make the most capable faint
Do me a favor, don’t play when I’m on the mic or onstage, okay?

I hear em talking
But I call em caps lock
Cause they lying on my name
And they can’t stop
Things finna shift
Better make space for these bars
Keep a tab on me
My control aimed for the stars

I’m in a new stratosphere
This groove is cashmere
I’m coolin’ out here
They movin’ out of fear
I knew this past year
Would be full of my growth
Yet you folks think you supposed to be doing the most

Lemme flex for a minute
Take a rest while I kill it
Mr Pratt soundtrack it
Been the best in the city
As long as I can hold a microphone
I’m not breaking down like I’m styrofoam
Killing rappers trappers scrappers then getting rid of the waste like a lysosome


I’m just your average rapper with a cute family tryna get by
Taking beauty from this chaos, can’t take a day off
I’m just your average rapper with a cute family tryna get by


Best and the worst, I’m somewhere in between that
Not the best punches, but a mean jab
I’m like an amateur on the speed bag
Tryna find my rhythm
Part superhero part villain that’s an odd feeling
They tell me they tell me that’s normal
But i’m still tryna settle in my skin
Put it all together and I make concertos with the pen
I’m no Paul Bear
But these beats will need a pallbearer that’s what I saw in the mirror
Self consciousness
There’s a thin line between cockiness and confidence
Spit it ten times or till I feel like I done bodied it
Can’t be slowed down by a status or a comment
Keep going like i don’t know where the commas went
And I don’t know where the karma went
Good vibes only over here, keep them phonies over there
Them actors with their EGOTs aint worried bout what he got
I may be average to you, but i’m the best me
