I was born in a dorm on a Pennsylvania night, man
no official plans I decided just to write jams
lyrics and free verse, the pretense was knee jerk

freedom in the freestyles, no need to rework
it didn't take long 'fore written spittin' addicted me
and made my roomie, homie Viscomi conduct a symphony

but times I'd need a fix when the words shot out me
shut my lip quick so my peers couldn't doubt me
now they overcrowd me claim me and follow me

some say talent while the rest cry novelty
virtue in the honesty and honestly ain't feelin' it
'cause too many pricks turn tricks at the dealership

all they want is realer %#@! less of the theatrics
thankfully, I got about six years of practice
I only wanted masses, so when I hit the mattress

I'd cuddle up with too much $$# to wipe my cash with

scene kids, mean kids, hipster chicks

all denominations wanna be my clique
they wanna feel me now


math rap $$#-hats, gangster dicks
tune in for some controversial politics
they wanna feel me now


inbred, metal head, nonconformists
all give it a listen 'cause my hair's enormous

they wanna feel me now

old school, no bull, rap savants

think I shoulda quit after my last bad song
but they can't feel me now


turned 23 now it's time to some progress
multi-layered lyrics, no time for the nonsense
leaving me beyond stressed, immersed in word choice

on top of that, I can't stand the sound of my nerd voice
maybe it's insane to invade the rap game
and try to entertain, wear a chain and act lame

stop being profane and they'll call me conscious
but these passed out rappers caught rigor mortis
so $#&@ the mainstream and the murky wetlands

a college graduate who goes to work in sweatpants
I paid my debts and my quest for sex lands
an unrequited crush, regress my best plans

no time for rest as I vent my views
and every other instrumental trying to woo my muse
a couple years later, I regained composure

gave her 48 bars as an act of closure

shot girls, goth girls, ball room dancers

try to gather round me like I got the answers
they wanna feel me now


prep girls, meth girls, high school teachers
quote me like some kinda motivational speaker
they wanna feel me now


tall girls, small girls, anorexics
just wanna get drunk and find a guy to sex with

they wanna feel me now

and that girl that used to fill my songs

I really don't know guess it's been too long.
but they can't feel me now


my grandfather always used to tell me
not to worry about the things I can't control
and right now

I can't control my legs

present day tell my mother how I turned out

cynical, neurotic, but at least I'm not a burn out
got a better sperm count -- never gonna use it
'cause I can't afford a kid without some profits from my music

and I'm lazy 'cause my job don't pay me to advance
could spend a day's wage on fast food and a lap dance
when all I wanna do is make time for my passion
call me too entitled or maybe I'm old-fashioned
all I know is rap can progress my psyche

in a Word document, headphones and a mic, see
I took hiatus just to spill the first blood
but now I got time to reunite with my first love
it hurts 'cause I got these growing pains to conquer
and I live in fear of being misconstrued as a monster

but as long as I'm writing, I'mma be on the right path
let's dance 'cause I got a chance to take my life back

managers, handlers, inept bosses
wanna can my $$# so they can count they losses

they wanna feel me now

fakers, phonies, cons and yes-men
are just incensed that I won't be they best friend
they wanna feel me now


big shots, big wigs, freaks and leeches
try to keep in touch in case my stock increases
they wanna feel me now

cohorts, consorts, friends and family

only take so much because they still can't stand me
but they can't feel me now

to everyone who's supported me over the years,
I want to thank you
and to everyone who hasn't supported me,
I want to thank you even more
