I didn't think I had to do this
But I'm gonna do it anyway
I sing off-key on purpose
Like when I made that song for Ethan
There's other things you should notice
Like the content of my lyrics
Please don't be oblivious
And I'll embrace the criticism
I just want to tell the world
My life throughout my songs
Which rappers do you know sing in key
All my hooks inspired by B-I-G
I know I'll never flow on his level see
But in rap you allowed break rules G
I might mess with the reverbs too
Yet, I refuse to use autotunes
I'm like what are all you rappers doing
T-pain brought voice to the game
But the difference is he can sang
Too many people on it they make it lame
It's not my place to say
So I think I'm just gonna stay right in my lane
Cuz their fame will put me to shame
Like when I got turned down by flames
Made me the man I became
Why some of them starting to sound the same
Okay mayne
I sing off-key on purpose
Like when I made that song for Ethan
There's other things you should notice
Like the content of my lyrics
Please don't be oblivious
And ill embrace the criticism
I just want to tell the world
My life throughout my songs
Had a friend message me on FB
Had the audacity
Told me that I was singing off key
On Ethan's hook like at 2319
I know you fail to know this
I rather be off key than be off beat
I do it purposely in the chorus
Critics think they got ears fail to notice
For them, not gonna be metaphoric
But I try to keep my voice and thoughts are organic
Lord teach non musicians about flat chords
Instead of being ignorant like a doubled edge sword
Sorry though can't afford to give you an award
Because we don't hear or see lyrics anymore
I need get me some liquor at the store;
One of my best friends was from Ecuador
We still talk today
We met in the marine corps
I sing off-key on purpose
Like when I made that song for Ethan
There's other things you should notice
Like the content of my lyrics
Please don't be oblivious
And ill embrace the criticism
I just want to tell the world
My life throughout my songs
Thank you for the thought
Mister Ropp
I was about to give up
But you woke me up
With that message
Even if it wasn't constructive
I'm not gonna be offended I actually loved it
You still gave me the idea for my next album
But just so we are clear;
I'm still gonna be me and do me because that's me
And I'll still sing purposely off key
I sing off-key on purpose
Like when I made that song for Ethan
There's other things you should notice
Like the content of my lyrics
Please don't be oblivious
And ill embrace the criticism
I just want to tell the world
My life throughout my songs
