Regular Dude

So regular, so plain See I'm a regular dude Only difference is I can rap better than you We both got kids so we settle disputes Only difference is…ha ha [Verse 1] See, you and me fella? We're more alike than you understand Pitching to my sons With a calculated underhand Motion cause I know that if I gave it my all The little man will never play cause he's afraid of the ball I'm just a normal company man, wage earner Who happens to write the illest boom-bap page turners I want a wave runner, sure I want a Harley Me, I'll just settle for simply rocking the party I'm at the age where the crisis hits your midlife Guys buy convertibles and stumble in at midnight See I got it out in my twenties, isn't it funny? I already seen the world and I toured most of the country I'm like you, I need the money for the mortgage And the food and the weddings and the future college courses Of course this is life and if I said it it's true It's a good thing I can rap better than you [Hook] I'm just a regular dude Only difference is I can rap better than you We both got kids so we settle disputes Only difference is I can rap better than you Both drive on the highway and set it to cruise Only difference is I can rap better than you See I'm a regular dude Only difference is I can….. [Verse 2] In a world you could rap, the playing field would be level In the game of entertainment I'm not especially special Every dad would mow the lawn and write songs about that Every time he wrote a check it'd most certainly bounce back Every man would enter battles certain that they'd take the cash Just in time the IRS would show up and they'd take it back Every average joe could get group of friends around And make a classic album then get love from the underground Each and every man would get calls to rock the mic The bill would fill up too fast and all I'd hear is not tonight ManCHILD raps like the guys who fixed my rear brakes Anybody better? better chalk it up to simple hearsay Luckily that world is far away and flipped a bit Mxyzptlk, as it is you got ears to listen with We both wish our cars did better on fuel Only difference is I can rap better than you [Hook] [Verse 3] It goes one for the mortgage, two for vacation days Three for the songs that your local college station plays Four for my words sharp enough to split a razor blade Five for the listener blessing that you take away You see we both business casual, both hate khaki pants Both pause and watch those commercials with the cash advance Both fall victim to an avalanche of happenstance Both just plain old plain at a glance But guess what: manCHILD is under my skin And luckily my people say they want it again My pen running overtime, I send it to the pencil And best believe I know you when I see your real potential When you breathe out, say it when you speak out Feel free to live through the method in my freestyle Whether I'm in carpool or severing crews I still thank God that I'm a regular dude
