Start Jamming...
I'm out to be the best me that I can be
[A] Working on my craft day in and out
You know that's [D] what I'm about, no
I'm not aiming to become famous
I just wanna play and sing [F#m] this
The only competition I see is [A] myself
I got a tunnel vision, kinda like a [D] telescope
And I'm looking at, and I'm picking at
Everything that I could do to become [F#m] better
I see a lot of people, I hear [A] a lot of things
They're talking about diamond rings, money [D] things
I guess that happens when you hit the top
Become [A] unsatisfied with everything that you already got
You say it's all about the music
[A] But mess around with girls who do [D] it
Yeah, you lie to your fans
I'm singing from my shadow, you can call that shade
[F#m] My verse is straight and my [A] flow is hard
I paint my songs like a work of [D] art
I never grew up listening to other stuff
You can say I'm kinda different, [F#m] maybe just a bluff
But let me tell you I am 100 [A]% reality
I feel like I ain't dancing around a casino
Only see that I'll be dancing in
Is a sea of fans in a [F#m] sold out MSG
Maybe a year or two, maybe a year or three
It doesn't phase me, honestly
[D]
Even if I don't make it by then
I'll still [Bm] be doing shows so I'll make it in the end, [F#m] yeah
And if you think I'm irrelevant
[A] Well then I must be relevant
[D] Cause you took the time to listen to my song
That I wrote on my bed in my [F#m] bedroom
Don't sing for a backtrack
[A] I write songs in my snapback
[D] I don't care what they say
Keeping it real, kinda like an acapella
I don't hook up with strangers
[A]
I've got less than respect
[D] I don't care what they say
Keeping it real, kinda like an [F#m] acapella
Acapella, a-acapella
Acapella, a-acapella
Acapella, a-acapella
Keeping it [F#] real, kinda like an [E] acapella
Sometimes I need to focus on myself and [A] what I need
Sometimes I feel like my mind is on its [D] own kinda speed
But I guess it's the way that goes when you try to write like a [E] beast
[F#m] This is my feast
Don't ever classify me as a rapper
I [A] spit a little bit and I can talk fast but that's it
I [D] ain't about the gold chains
Ain't about the fake girls
Ain't about the high [A] life
Ain't about the money
[F#m] See my lyrics are different
[A] They come alive the minute I start to sing them
I would say that I put my soul all up in them
But I am a ginger, you know how that goes
[F#m] My world comes together the moment [A] my pen hits the paper
Like I'm a jailbreaker [D] but I have committed
No crime to be charged for
You see me in bars but don't know what I stand [F#m] for
I don't sing for a [A] rackjack
I write songs in my [D] snapback
I don't care what they say
Keeping it real, kinda like an [F#m] acapella
I don't hook up with [A] strangers
I've got less in respect
[D]
I don't care what they say
Keeping it real, kinda like an [F#m] acapella
Acapella, a-acapella
Acapella, a-acapella
Acapella, a-acapella
Keeping it real, kinda like an acapella Wait
My fingers bleed when I pluck strings
I was never raised to play this guitar with a big thing
At times people say I sound British when I say things
When I say things, say things
Now they coming to me asking if I wanna be the next big thing
I'm the next best thing but hey
You better get your facts [F#] straight
I don't need a record label to show them my talent [F#m] great
Cause if the people like it then the people buy it right
But I wanna hire another writer just to take it higher Foolish
Like the gold that you place in my hands
That fool's gold and I'm not fooled
By this fame game, this Twitter game
It's so lame cause I'm verified on the inside
I don't need a blue check to be satisfied
