MMIX Lyrics

Token Genius

Uh
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa
It’s ‘bout time to let it go

OK, let’s rewind way back to 2009
People telling me I’ll miss high school and I’m like “Nah” (Nope)
I ain’t go to prom or Wildwood to wild out
Hope you had the time of your life, it’s not mine
Good riddance sentiment, whatever, I’m fine
I’m just tryna finish here and get on my grind
Yearbook signatures, let my cap fly
Then proceeded to recede into the deep end of my mind
It’s probably on me that no one really hit my line
Or all you dweebs who saw my likes and speech as being White (Trash)
I mean the token Black kid is so easily defined
I’ll just take it as naivety and leave it all behind
Identity was seized of any ego, any pride (Right)
But senior year I realized you needed some to thrive (Right)
The asterisk was crafted through these beats and through these rhymes
To cease how I’m perceived as meek and feed it to the fire, bow! (Whoa, whoa, whoa)

Me, myself and I, like back in 2009, yeah
Me, myself and I, like back in 2009, yeah
Me, myself and I, like back in 2009, yeah
Ask me why I’m like this, here’s a little reminder
Me, myself and I, like back in 2009, yeah
Me, myself and I, like back in 2009, yeah
Me, myself and I, like back in 2009, yeah
Ask me why I’m like this, here’s a little reminder

Summer wasn’t too lit- I stayed reclusive
Head full of excerpts, hands working rudiments
And bedroom producing, never was a cool kid
But learned to rock the mic chucking English over my music
I went M.I.A just learning how to do it
Fleet of paper planes for every verse I wasn’t using
Tape About Nothing in the Saturn steady bumping
As I tried to make something from my exported loops and clips
Somewhere in the between of thinking this is stupid
And hyping up fall as a chance to start new again
“I live my life alone” helped my mood shift
Though I was sick of home, I got used to it
“If everything I do is wrong, then by God I’ll do it right”
Was my slogan in the hopes that I’d improve at this
I made these references to show you what this music meant
Guess you could say it’s a decade under their influence

Me, myself and I, like back in 2009, yeah
Me, myself and I, like back in 2009, yeah
Me, myself and I, like back in 2009, yeah
Ask me why I’m like this, here’s a little reminder
Me, myself and I, like back in 2009, yeah
Me, myself and I, like back in 2009, yeah
Me, myself and I, like back in 2009, yeah
Ask me why I’m like this, here’s a little reminder
Jerz!
