Living life in love
And laughter
Breaking walls
That cage me in
Earned some scars
Been bruised
And battered
By my so-called
"best of friends"
Backstage lovers
All up on me
Got no time
For darker stories
No more wasting energy
I've gotta do it my way
Chorus:
(ooo)
Tryna figure me out
Looking me up
And you're looking me down
But you don't know
What to believe
(oh no, you don't know)
(ooo)
Think you've figured me out?
See it in your mind
How it's gonna go down?
You forgot
I'm not what it seems
(uh huh)
Simmy, simmy yo
Simmy, simmy, simmy yo (3x)
Simmy, simmy yo
Simmy, simmy, simmy
Finding meaning in my madness
Been a rebel with a cause
Re-defining "good" and "badness"
Stumble back when i get lost
Every time i fall i'm stronger
Getting up to run for longer
Opening my mind enough to
Paint the world in new ways
(chorus)
Rap
Simmy, simmy yo
Simmy, simmy yo, yo
Time to listen
To the first of free verse
That i'll flow
And i'm spittin just to let you
Let go of what you know
And to take you
To the place you need to go
'cause i'm coming through
To challenge you
The things you believe
The first of the many tricks
I've hidden up my sleeve
To get you to see
That i'm not what it seems
Don't ever think
That you really know me
Wise beyond years
Making careless mistakes
Try to deny
My extravagent taste
Passion for love
The disaster it makes
An addiction
To the gift to create
But now
You're trying to define
What is right and what's wrong
Just 'cause i'm white
Makes you think i don't belong
On a song where i rhyme
For a time and then sing
If that's what you thought
Then it's time to re-think
