lyrics

I was thinking bout what I was
thinking Back when I was younger

thinking if I grew some wings
I could make it further

All I needed was the right ear
the right time the right place
Id make it in the mix

Only the problem is
That I was born like this
So guess I’ll never be rich

Don’t waste your time with all those wasteful chases
Climbing up yo people’s back like a ladder
Just to make ya famous
The ones that matter already know what the hell your name is
So grow that wave baby
show a little grace maybe
and in that way child
go on and
Be contagious

I remember I spent every dream
hoping one day I would be

No I wasn’t born lucky
but if somebody just saw me
I knew I could make it
Wouldn't have to fake it
Yea I wouldnt ve missed

Only the problem is
That I was born like this
That I’m just how I am
Just an Ordinary man
Got So many issues
that needing fixed
So guess I’ll never be rich

Fifteen years later typing this in my phone
Not making covers for the rolling stone
But back then lord how i wish I’d known

Don’t waste your time with all those chases
Climbing up yo people’s back
Just to make ya famous
The ones that matter already know what the hell your name is
So grow that wave baby show a little grace maybe
and in that way
go on child and
Be contagious
