Wanko Soba rule
Cover your bowl with its lid
Signal that you're full.
YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL
DONT LET ANYONE TELL YOU DIFFRENT
I GREW UP IN FOSTER CARE
AND THOUGHT IT WAS ME WHO FAILED THE SYSTEM
I CARED HOW PEOPLE PAINTED ME
DONT PAY ATTENTION YO HOW THEY PAINT YOU
THRU ALL THE BULL DONT LET IT CHANGE YOU
YOU NEED TO REMAIN YOU
SUM PEOPLE DONT KNOW HOW TO DIFFERENTIATE
THEY DONT KNOW WHAT I MEAN WHEN A SAY THE LIQOUR SENT ME STRAIGHT
PARENTS ALCAHOLICS SIS AND BRO DRUG ADDICTS IM SOBA AND DRUG FREE
ONE OF A KIND SO I FIT THE EMPTY SPACE
I WANNA BE SUCCESSFUL IM TRYIN MY BEST TO DRAKE IT
I KNOW I AINT THE BEST LYRICIST
SO MANY PEOPLE TOLD ME ID NEVER MAKE IT
I GREW TIRED OF HEARIN IT
IF I HAD A BETTER CHILDHOOD WOULD I FEEL MORE EARTH LIKE AND LESS ALIEN
DREAMS OF PERFORMING WITH EMINEM AND NAS IN THE BEST STADIUMS
HATERS CAN XHOKE ON MY NUTS
I AINT TALKIN MACADAMIAN
I KEEP RHYMIN
I KEEP SHININ
THEY TOOK THE MICK CUZ I SELF HARMED AND AM DYSLEXIX
I PUT MY 2 FINGERS UP BUT I AINT PEACE SIGN EM

she sips he sips
sweetly sips
