Lyrics:
(chorus)
I ain't got the slightest clue what I'm doing up in this life, man
I can't even tell you where I am
I have no idea what I'm doing
I have no idea what I'm doing
so if you feel like you're lagging behind and
aren't even sure what you're lagging behind man
put your hands in the sky saying
I have no idea what I'm doing
I have no idea what I'm doing, but...
I've always wondered why it is that my life is so complicated
and I hate that every time that I rhyme I feel obligated
to explain it all the way cuz the weight is too much to carry
so today I'ma take a break from the customary
and ramble a bit
see every chance that I get
I just sit back and imagine all the plans that I had as a kid
and as it eventually catches up to where I'm at now
that pounding voice in my head will begin to ask "how
am I to get there from where I am currently,
when certainly what I'm hurdling toward
discernibly couldn't be further removed from who I'd prefer to be?"
burdened deep, hurting being on the verge of being the person
the younger me knew I could be back then
cuz I could pack in
a fat ten times the rhymes per line when I'm rapping
but if that's it, and I'm lacking a plan then
what good would it do your man when
(chorus)
but who really does, amirite?
for every one of my buds that are fine
there's like a dozen that are fightin just adjust to this life
am I rushing should I just take what I'm frustrated with
brush it aside and concentrate on just bustin these rhymes
cuz if it's like that and I go that avenue
there's not a whole lot I would have to do
sit back and just tap into the rhyming letting it operate
and never stop to weigh the question of
whether or not I'm saying anything worth listening to
okay then so maybe I won't say that lyricism'll go away
oh but hey, wait, no, I may
only be throwing the stones a way down the road
where waiting for me is more where they came from
cuz there ain't nothing as frustrating it ain't fun having to figure out
how to combine a way to get out of your mind what is haunting it
while simultaneously making all of rhyme
I'll admit I
(chorus)
I could write for days without finding the way that I could lay
the right rhymes that combined would convey what I'm trying to say
and maybe I'm to blame cuz maybe I'm not as good
as I think I am and just can't do what I thought I could
and all that put me in this place, maybe it was fate
and maybe I have strayed from the path I was meant to take
or maybe this is the lane I made to be rolling in
and although broken and cold up inside, in time I'll hope again
ya know but then again, maybe I shouldn't get up in
this game if dang near ninety percent of any rappers
that try to be genuine in it get roasted on a
"fake deep", "try hard", "vain", "preachy", or "overdone"
but if no one on this earth can operate a mic the way that I do
ain't no stopping or dropping this hot potato
I'll have made a impact by the time that I'm out
but for right now, all I know is that I don't know how because
