Notoriously

All a kid ever wanted was an opportunity

One shot, one stage

Show the world what I have to offer

And receive all the acceptance it’s

capable of giving out

Times I couldn’t have it,

reality beat me senseless

I got up every time and

continued to eat those punches

Been molding myself formidably

in the creative arts

I ain’t just rocking suits and looking cute

Moves are made while you spectate,

business cards and phone numbers are

being exchanged across the room

Doing something dat’ not too many people

are right now, which is why it feels so lonely

With all those books I wrote, forget about it

I know dat’ I’m gonna reach a level of

success no one has yet

I feel like I’m racing against crash dummies

Why not myself, haven’t I already surpassed him

Or am I still lagging behind,

trapped in a state of constant contemplation

Although I’ve came tremendous ways

on my own, I must confess

I need support

I need someone to confide in

I need someone to listen to me

I need to open up to someone

I need support

I must get the correct kind of it,

I don’t want anything phony

I don’t know why so many people

put all their faith in me

Ain’t I bound to mess that up,

human error at its finest

Let me not think like that

Ain’t I bound to let everyone down,

I’ve done it numerous times before

Let me not think like that

Ain’t I bound to break that woman’s heart,

not that I would

Let me not think like that
