The one about the misfit, pt. 2


You'll be good one day
Hu
Yeah, uh

If we don't keep in contact there's a reason for it
Pissed my label off then we had a meeting for it
Used to say make good music so they can't ignore it
But that don't work, you need a gimmick and a dance for it
So dance for us
We couldn't sell tickets in our hometown so promoters had to cancel on us
Thought I had it in the bag but I was really shelved
A shell of a man, I couldn't even be myself
I believe in God but doubt these televangelists
Saw one in a Bentley off Melrose in Los Angeles
I used to laugh about it then but now I'm really scared
I hope my kids don't think the gospel is some fairytale
Our best year I was depressed like the whole year
But, how does a Christian rapper fit that in a song?
And why these Christian stations play the same songs?
I could only imagine things different for so long
I know rappers always talk about success but
I don't think I hit that place yet
Don't ask me to do a feature with your favorite rapper (Brrt)
You don't like the music I make? It says a lot about ya, (Woo) yeah
Feelin' like myself again
And if they say my name they better add for president
Yeah, I been waitin' for this very moment
It's like the teams are waitin' for me and now it's bases loaded
Dang, feel like I thrive under pressure
My happy place is where my family's safe and all together
So tell my boys it's still misfit gang forever
Sometimes you gotta go through hell on the way to heaven

And the whole world stops just like that

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
 
The lyrics THE ONE ABOUT THE MISFIT, PT. 2 of MARTY is also present in the album Marty for president 2 (2020)
