Spose ft. Watsky - Nobody Lyrics

Nobody, nobody

I was nobody (nobody) , nobody believed
Pregnant women couldn't even conceive
Man your aunt used to hate on my steez
Then she heard it, fell in love
And now your aunt's sorry like Aziz
I'm at the jubilee
Let me know if you believe
I've awoken, they thought I was joking
Wouldn't humor me
Man they used to laugh at him
Thought that I was ludicrous
I don't mean the rapper, just the adjective
Man can you imagine it?
Cause now I'm shining luminous
Just look at who I grew to be
Accomplishments are numerous
Been reppin' my community it's somethin'
(It's somethin')
How you can start from nothin'
Then rock it from microscopic to the
Topic of discussion from the bottom
And then you touch the roof
That's like a tongue ring
Could change my name
Still would get the W like tungsten
That's a science joke, I'm the broke
Tie a rope around the dying goat to
Pull it out the lion's throat
Man look at Ryan go, the way I carry a mic
I'm gonna end up with some
Flowers on my burial site i'm still moving
Ascending on my aerial flight
Breaking every radio, smashing stereotypes
But I was supposed to curl up
I was supposed to back down
I was supposed to fade
Evaporate into the background
I was supposed to never be nothing
But made it to something
I knew I could do it
I will make it through it I'll prove it
I was just another human who
Was supposed to be

Nobody, nobody been acting like nobody
But I don't wanna be nobody (Ayuh)

I wasn't born in a nativity
Just in anonymity
So all the props they've given me
I've risen to divinity he felt like Chris
And 'Jimmy!' made him feel good
Her whole perspective changed when she
Heard 'Knocking On Wood'
He got arrested in college
That shit was not planned
He was scurred, then he heard 'God Damn'
And played it, and played it
Cause what I say, he related
I became his favorite, he made it
Out to my tour date, elated
Now he's up in the front going crazy
Word for word in my cadence
I told him "I was nobody
Now I'm sold out on stages"
And that got me feeling six feet
But I couldn't fathom
That my words could be the light that
Lead the weary out the cavern
I'm still better than your verbals
I'm eating rappers like hors d'oerves
I'm Biggie but more Urkel (What you doing?)
I'm rocking mics until I'm sore, purple
(And then what?)
And then I'm outtie like four circles
Dreamt of the brighter days
Stuck to the battle plan
Weathered all the tidal waves
Climbed through the avalanche
Hop up out the back of vans and
Then I make 'em clap their hands
Boy, I'm feeling like the man
But I was supposed to curl up
I was supposed to back down
I was supposed to fade
Evaporate into the background
I was supposed to never be nothing
But made it to something
I knew I could do it, I will
Make it through it I'll prove it
I was just another human who
Was supposed to be

Nobody, nobody been acting like nobody
But I don't wanna be nobody

It takes smart choices and dumb luck
That's why there's billionaire dumbfucks
Geniuses driving dump trucks
Suckers with Lexuses
Experts who won't make one buck
I've seen dreams die fast and wither slow
I've also seen 'em blooming where
They're not supposed to grow
And I've seen the ones I've planted and
Watched 'em blossom in the snow
Ask me if I'm dank?
(Are you dank?) Preposterously so
Another day, gotta get up and go
Keep on plotting even when my
Body be begging me no
Could be a regular Joe
But I gotta keep a promise
That I made to myself over a decade ago
Got a shot and almost spoiled it
No one's gonna foil it i know I can toil
Or flush this down the toilet
And that's why I try like Macy Gray
So I'ma keep trying till I'm grey
And emaciated
Say what you wanna say you may see
I'm more than where you placed me
Whatever the case be, I'm singing in the rain
So you can bring the lobster
Me and Spose will bring the pain
It's Watsky and the fucking King of Maine
But I was supposed to curl up
I was supposed to back down
I was supposed to fade
Evaporate into the background
I was supposed to never be nothing
But made it to something
I knew I could do it
I will make it through it I'll prove it
I was just another human who
Was supposed to be

Nobody, nobody been acting like nobody
But I don't wanna be nobody

They told me no, no
Yesterday they told me no, no ayup
Been acting like no, nobody, nobody
