Second single by Jackson Taylor and Boy-D, 'Only Me'

lyrics

Only Me

(Verse 1)
Well it’s J A C K, give your boy some lee way
I’ma spit a couple bars for you just to replay
It’s cliche, but I’m tryna be the best here
And I’ve been hoping to make a name that the rest fear
Cause that’s my MO, you didn’t get the memo
Got my fist in the sky, I’m your dark superhero but
I fly higher, my flows barber wire
And I’m spitting like a semi automatic, cease fire
And start again, I like to play pretend
Where I’m your favourite rapper, all else irrelevant

(Chorus)
Chasing my dreams, They gotta set me free (it’s only me)
Everybody sees that it’s only me
Got my head in the clouds, said I won’t come down
Everybody sees that it’s only me

(Bridge)
Everybody behind, it’s time to recognise
and strive to realise all the sacrifices, Drop
Nobodies level, the bass and the treble
are what follow and guide me up until the beat
stop’s….
Now bring it back

(Verse 2)
Pedal to the metal, trembling in your boot straps
Playing my music to people get me a few claps
Now who’s that new rapper on the scene,
Make sure that everybody knows, It’s Only Me, oh
Looking to formulate a plan of attack
Don’t underestimate, I’ll demonstrate my lyrical knack
Call me the topic of discussion, I’m blushing and puffing
No mother* ever touching me, they know I be crushing it, AH

(Chorus)
Chasing my dreams, They gotta set me free
Everybody sees that it’s only me
Head in the clouds, I said I won’t come down
Everybody sees that it’s only me

(Outro)
In my lonesome pursuit, I’m standing inside of the shoes
Of someone that I idolise, the people that I look up to
Compare the things I do to someone that’s better
I never live up to Jermaine cause I’m not that clever
Or I’m not like Chance, or Kendrick Lamar
I don’t got a lot of cash or the fanciest car
My lyrics don’t mean the same when they come from my mouth
But I’ll be happy with fame, money and bitches no doubt, hm

But the truth isn’t that, what makes me happy is what I wanna do
No more shortcuts or jumping the line
I’ve gotta look at the world from my own shoes
For me to choose, take my own path
Figure out who i really wanna be
My own future is laying inside, so i guess
It’s Only Me.
