Fair-weather Fans

If I was granted one wish

It would be for you to see me

For who I really am

Because these looks can be deceiving

And I swear to god

If you really listen closely

By the time this song is over

You will truly know me

‘Cause I am not a monster

I am just a man

And I’m getting sick and fuckin’ tired

Of these fans

That expect me to be some perfect version

Of a fuckin’ person

And it’s hurtful

I feel worthless

I just wanna feel I’m worth it

And it’s hard

But I’m learning to be honest

And discerning

And I am gaining all my courage

To be better

I am searching

(Damn)

But it’s so damn hard

To keep it calm when

Everything I’ve known

Is broken and scarred

And I’m not trying to complain

About my problems at all

Because my problems

Are the reason I have gotten this far

So I am thankful for adversity

And makin’ me strong

I’m just trying to explain

How I feel in a song

It goes

Oh

I really can’t believe that

I’m really here right now

I’m hanging on an airplane

Falling through the airwaves

In the clouds

Oh

I never ever want to touch the ground

I’m walkin’ on a tight rope

Searching for the right note

Play that sound

Let’s take it back to ‘92 when I was eight

My brother gave me a tape

By mistake

Dr. Dre

It was december 15th to the date

(Let me ride)

The chronic

On my birthday

Must have been fate

Now let’s flash forward

To the first time in ‘99

When I heard shady on the radio

And to my surprise

That this is really happenin’

A white boy is rappin’

From the bottom to the top

That motherfucker made it happen

So I grabbed a pen and pad

And started writin’ down madness

Later joined a band

And wrote my songs around my sadness

Formulated all my tragic moments into magic

Now I’m sellin’ tickets to my shows and

Have ‘em packed in

You best believe it

‘Cause I’m tellin the truth

I bought a motherfuckin’ caddy

And a house with a view

Don’t need to prove that I’m amazin’

And I’m keepin’ it true

So before you try and hate me,

Try to walk in my shoes

It goes

Oh

I really can’t believe that

I’m really here right now

I’m hanging on an airplane

Falling through the airwaves

In the clouds

Oh

I never ever want to touch the ground

I’m walkin’ on a tight rope

Searching for the right note

Play that sound

And after all that I’ve been through

I can say I’ve made it

Through the fuckin’ bullshit

To the other side safely

I can truly say I can feel myself changing

Into a better person

Don’t give a fuck if you can hate me

Never gonna let you fuckin' take me

That path I’m used to taking

And I know that in my heart of hearts

The problems that I’m facing

Is in half the battle that I’m fighting

Energy I’m wasting

I’m so sick of these fuckin’ bitches

Always changing what I’m saying

Into something that it’s not

Man this shit has got to stop

Shit I’ll wear the clothes I want

And I’ll cut my hair all off

And I’ll do it just to prove

That I’m a motherfuckin boss

And my music keeps me movin’

And I will not slow or pause

I’d like to think that I’m a-okay

And all my worries are so foolish

And will fade away

One day I’d like to think that

I faced my fate

And my legacy lives on,

You’ll remember my name

It goes

Oh

I really can’t believe that

I’m really here right now

I’m hanging on an airplane

Falling through the airwaves

In the clouds

Oh

I never ever want to touch the ground

I’m walkin’ on a tight rope

Searching for the right note

Play that sound
