Unremarkable (Non-Explicit Swearjar Version)

I stay hidden cos my hidey hole holds my whole hope Everything under one roof, I don't go Out, poking my nose in a globe I can't control I'm never satisfied when I'm too far from home But, if you don't challenge your boundaries then you're bound to be Floundering round 'till you drown in the ground you seem So attached to defend No good asking if Ben Will make a lasting attempt To write a rap without friends Cos I need the support, if I'm conceiving a thought Need people to agree with it before I even record I got noooooo self esteem anymore And as I withdraw from society, it's weakening more Cos basically I'm an ego maniac who thrives on feedback Forget that, but remember every time someone called me crap A tree sap of a 6ft3 chap Who needs enemies with inner monologues like we have? Nobody, that's who, I'm unremarkable My generation, that's Who, I'm unremarkable Got a few tattoos, I'm unremarkable Did ok at school, I'm unremarkable Nobody, that's who, I'm unremarkable My generation, that's Who, I'm unremarkable Got a few tattoos, I'm unremarkable Did ok at school, I'm unremarkable (Gotta do a second verse)... I forgot how to write 'em So used to doing one verse and hoping to God it's inspiring And nine times out of ten it's probably not Even this might end up deleted from my desktop I hate being in the same place when people play my music Make sense of that, I know I was born to do this But you play my new ish with me in the room And I'll either cringe, turn it off, or leave 'till you do Happy for people to play it though, fill your boots I'm proud enough of the sound of it, I mainly cringe at you Cos I'm expecting you to take it in but know that you can't For example I wrote this track at 1 AM in the dark And changed this word and that word and made sure it fitted And the first time you play it, all that work's done in minutes And you can judge it like a piece of art Up to you if it leaves a mark And that's why I love it when people start With that whole "rap is too fast for me" malarkey "I don't mind the music but only partly The guy saying words kinda ruined the party" And we turn up to headline they say, "who are we?" Nobody, that's who, I'm unremarkable My generation, that's Who, I'm unremarkable Got a few tattoos, I'm unremarkable Did ok at school, I'm unremarkable Nobody, that's who, I'm unremarkable My generation, that's Who, I'm unremarkable Got a few tattoos, I'm unremarkable Did ok at school, I'm unremarkable Well, kinda did and didn't In middle school my folks thought not enough s--s were given So I'd do work set for me to up my level It gave the impression I was more intelligent than the rebels But a little home schooling only takes you so far And I paid attention less cos I thought I was smart And people caught up while I slowed right down Thought I'd regret it but I don't right now A degree gets you nothing but debt Debt gets you nothing but vexed Being vexed gets you nothing but stressed Being stressed gets you nothing but death And I love living: it's the best, there's not enough of it left But I've bin wallowing a few years with family issues Coulda done an album tryna make you grab your tissues But I'd rather stay upbeat, with my usual grin And make people say, "ExP!... I don't know who that is" Nobody, that's who, I'm unremarkable My generation, that's Who, I'm unremarkable Got a few tattoos, I'm unremarkable Did ok at school, I'm unremarkable Nobody, that's who, I'm unremarkable My generation, that's Who, I'm unremarkable Got a few tattoos, I'm unremarkable Did ok at school, I'm unremarkable
