What You See Is What You Get

I'm not gangsta rap, i don't want to be a thug/

I found a place in rap, that's just what i knew to love/

So i lace a track, with the word made of hope/

To cope when you get discouraged and focus deep on the notes/

So know what i feel, i'll blow that for real/

And no i'm not jelous when you get a record deal/

'cause it's not about what we got, so why you flashin' the loot/

And renting women in your video shoots/

Since i've lifted up my feet, and stepped in the game/

Everybody wants to tell me how to look and what to say/

They meet me on the streets expecting diamonds in my chain/

But focus on the meaning in the words that i display/

I don't need to buy a car, i don't need to buy the range/

Give me happiness and love, trust me, i'ma be okay/

I'm still making music if i get no check/

I'm just me, so what you see is what you get/

What you see is what you get/

No more, no less/

I'm not focused on the rest/

Come on, like this/

What you see is what you get/

No more trying to impress/

'cause i may not be the best/

But what you see is what you get/

I come across some people as i journey the map/

Say it's impossible for any white person to rap/

Some people even laugh, say i copy eminem/

Though i'm really not shady but i guess i'm kind of slim/

Can't you open up your mind as you travel through life/

Not every white rapper comin', is gonna be vanilla ice/

And while we're on the topic just allow me to express/

Because you people got it twisted and don't look at the rest/

Not every song a rapper writes is gonna be about sex/

Not every rapper is a thug only workin' for checks/

So focus on these humans 'cause they each have trails/

And not everybody rappin' is goin' in and out of jail/

I'll admit a lot of songs on the radio list/

Have a message unworthy for a radio hit/

But with help and lots of prayer i can change all thoughts/

So i don't need one spin on your radio spot/

I kick a little riddle so you giggle when i tell/

'cause you'll miss a little, wish your nickel deep into the well/

Or they'll wish upon a star, but i do it through the father/

So everything is perfect, so hakuna to mattata/

I know that i am pale and my nose is too big/

I know that i am skinny and still act like a kid/

But no need to point it out, all these gaps in my teeth/

I knew that back at fifteen when i wet the bed sheets/

But i do it, gotta do it, holy spirit provide/

I found the proof and i can use it, lead these demons aside/

I peice the puzzle through his hands, i'ma hustle through the land/

Even if i never gain another muscle or a tan/

'cause steven cooper's not the one, to retreat on the team/

God made me to deliver, 09/17/

Now he delivers me, and i'm working to help/

Everybody get to heaven just by being myself
