(intro (Sam I Am)) "You have you fight for her." "yeah but I try, I try hard!" "Try harder." "No but you don't know, you don't know." "I don't know what?" "Yeah you don't know what it's like when you try, and you try and you try, and you try, but you don't ever get there!" (chorus) You can say what you want You can pose and front But yo, it don't really matter You can scream You can yell Succeed or fail But you'll slowly start to shatter You can fight You can write You can piss and gripe And try to climb up the ladder But know this, the abyss will swallow And kiss as you become decompost matter (verse 1) I don't care If my record sells Or if thousands crowd and they yell I don't care If the hip-hop heads turn away And say Pigeon John has turned gay See I don't care Workin as an office clerk To pay rent and to save my sense And I don't care If only two people come to my show I'll still make dents come (chorus) You can say what you want You can pose and front But yo, it don't really matter You can scream You can yell Succeed or fail But you'll slowly start to shatter You can fight You can write You can piss and gripe And try to climb up the ladder But know this, the abyss will swallow And kiss as you become decompost matter (verse two) I don't mind Not being known But being an example that will only be cloned I don't mind Being myself Even if it holds me from possible wealth See I don't mind Living true life And having that peace and the presence of strife And I don't mind If it's night or day Because in the end we will all pass away All my niggaz in jail come sing my song All my niggaz that don't know that Daddy's singing All my niggaz that don't got no money sing along Sing my song You like her, she don't like you Sing it They don't know Same old times Same old times Gonna be all right
