Who me? I'm a humble MC
But I still want the world to know about me
Looks like I need to do some reconciling
But even in my birthday suit--I'm so styling
Check me out ladies--why should I hide my sexy
It's like self-deprecation became like lying
Because you can be confident and still have humility
Everybody give a cheer if you're feeling me
Shoot, that's sorta self-aggrandizing
But are my actions really that surprising?
I'm a rapper--I can't not say what's up
I know I'm the best but I wanna be the humblest
It seems like humbleness should really be
Like water giving life to everything without striving
And here I am trying but hard work's also humble
But then again the great monuments soon crumble
But maybe art lasts and the questions then is
How to balance self-consciousness with show biz
And an artist isn't at all what I is
Even though I sometimes carbonate my pop with metafizz
Don't get it wrong I want to evolve
Which to me means not overcompensating for survival
So where I used to brag about how good I am in bed
Now I go out and get laid instead
Naaaaah use your head--it's all about being thankful
Living modestly even with a thick bankroll
And sharing my gifts cause I'm responsibly blessed
So I flow, go on, because there's air in my chest
But it's what I do, not what I say, which sticks
Hiding words in my heart, burning coals in my breast
But I still want the world to know about me
Looks like I need to do some reconciling
But even in my birthday suit--I'm so styling
Check me out ladies--why should I hide my sexy
It's like self-deprecation became like lying

But it's what I do, not what I say, which sticks
Hiding words in my heart, burning coals in my breast
Reconcile my lying world hiding for survival
with actions that should question the head
Say feeling, evolve words, check hard
For balance giving to thick an air
Shoot
the flow crumbles if the suit is hard
surprising?
styling responsibly with a modestly confident pop,
a sharing of the metafizz blessed in the chest
lasts best out, not about
you
me? who,
self-consciousness work's say.
striving for being, this burning art
though show good
can sometimes wrong, monuments the self
looks instead of is, what it's not
artist, everybody,
get giving, on going
with actions that should question the head
Say feeling, evolve words, check hard
For balance giving to thick an air
