I am P.O.S.
I be the new generation of slaves
Here to make papes off this land corporation's rape
From that life I'm tryin' to separate
But I guess I'm livin' dreams
'Cause my rent's always a month late
Product of an East German black
Who kissed the neck of a pretty woman named Grace
But he left my life just a little too soon
Didn't see me catch the Doomtree fame
As we go a little somethin' like this
Look ma, no protection
Now I got a baby boy by the name of Jake
And I been tryin' to play the cowboy to rustle in the dough
And I think I been gettin' better every passin' day
I'm not an early bird, plus the feathers are black
So by the time I catch an apple, usually its rind
But its a must to decipher one's girl
From the round sweet apples that are rotten on the inside
I cherish my free time
But I maximize so my soul needs to unwind
I wanna see the stars and be the moon to my son
But I'm always on the run, run, run
I'm fake to all these hard-case kids
I raise a black fist but won't say (nigga) in the things I write
And I don't say (faggot) 'cause I don't think it's right
I know my boy struggled with that for over half his life
I guess we got our own lives to live
But I'm stretched too thin, tryin' to build a kingdom to rule
And I think to the past sometimes, an dag man, it's bad
See, I kinda acted like a fool
But I've apologized to the lives I touched wrong
Pride to the back move ahead strong
But I can safely say I ain't never played a woman
Without karma catchin' up later on
I tried to walk the right side of the tracks
But I hopped a couple trains, mom would cry if she knew the halfs
But I can stand who I am and face the day straight
Knowin' not a thing can change with me, singin'
No one will ever be like me
No one will ever be like me
And I know I'm not a bad guy
When I try and do what's right
Everyone who comes to me
Don't understand or see my plight
Everything I ever done
And all the plans I had inside
Always missed, gone wrong in a way
So I gave up and said alright
So now I do what I can, I'm alright
Stand up like mama raised me alright
I was dealt from the bottom and pulled a flush
I been livin' with my chips all in and I'm still in, see
No one will ever be like me
No one will ever be like me
From that life I'm tryin' to separate
But I guess I'm livin' dreams
'Cause my rent's always a month late
Lookin' back it seems I always been a step behind
A little off track, feelin' no one shared the frame of mind
Listen to records in my room to escape
Found some things I could relate with and wore out the tape
He said:
When I lose every time I win, 'cause
No one will ever be
Messin' up stuff and doin' things wrong
Quite like me
No one will ever be like me
No one will ever be like me
No one will ever be like me
No one will ever be like me
