[Verse 1]
If I was granted one wish, it would be for you to see me
For who I really am because these looks can be deceiving
And, I swear to God, if you really listen closely
By the time this song is over, you will truly know me
'Cause I am not a monster, I am just a man
And I'm getting sick and fucking tired of these fans
That expect me to be some perfect version of a fucking person
And it's hurtful, I feel worthless, I just wanna feel I'm worth it
And it's hard, but I am learning, to be honest, and discerning
And I'm gaining all my courage to be better, I am searching, damn
But it's so damn hard
To keep it calm when everything I know is broken and scarred
And I'm not trying to complain about my problems at all
Because my problems are the reason I have gotten this far
So I am thankful for adversity and making me strong
I'm just trying to explain how I feel in a song, it goes
[Chorus]
Oh, I really can't believe that I'm here right now
I'm hanging on an airplane, falling through the airwaves in the clouds
Oh, I never ever want to touch the ground
I'm walking on a tightrope, searching for the right note to play that sound
[Verse 2]
Let's take it back to '92 when I was eight
My brother gave me a tape by mistake
Dr. Dre, it was December 15th to the date
The Chronic on my birthday must've been fate
Now let's flash forward to the first time in '99
When I heard Shady on the radio and, to my surprise
That this is really happening, a white boy is rapping
From the bottom to the top, that motherfucker made it happen
So I grabbed my pen and pad and started writing down the madness
Later joined a band and wrote my songs around my sadness
Formulated all my tragic moments into magic
Now I'm selling tickets to my show and have 'em packed in
You best believe it 'cause I'm telling the truth
I bought a motherfucking Caddy and a house with a view
Don't need to prove that I'm amazing and I'm keeping it true
So before you try to hate me, try to walk in my shoes, it goes
If I was granted one wish, it would be for you to see me
For who I really am because these looks can be deceiving
And, I swear to God, if you really listen closely
By the time this song is over, you will truly know me
'Cause I am not a monster, I am just a man
And I'm getting sick and fucking tired of these fans
That expect me to be some perfect version of a fucking person
And it's hurtful, I feel worthless, I just wanna feel I'm worth it
And it's hard, but I am learning, to be honest, and discerning
And I'm gaining all my courage to be better, I am searching, damn
But it's so damn hard
To keep it calm when everything I know is broken and scarred
And I'm not trying to complain about my problems at all
Because my problems are the reason I have gotten this far
So I am thankful for adversity and making me strong
I'm just trying to explain how I feel in a song, it goes
[Chorus]
Oh, I really can't believe that I'm here right now

Oh, I never ever want to touch the ground
