Book Covers Oddisee (Ft. Nick Hakim)

[Hook: Nick Hakim] x2
Don't judge a book by its cover if you don't even read
There's no shame in saying that you're not up to speed
No you're just scared
Yeah you're just scared

[Verse 1: Oddisee]
I got a real bad habit
I think I know everything 'fore it happens
Few times I was right, didn't help
And it only made a know-it-all know without askin'
To the point if I didn't know the answer
I would make it up like the meaning of a canvas
Another pseudo-intellect with a guess and I'll go off on a rant
If you say I ain't correct
But that got real old real fast
I think I had a fear about bein' on the outside
Or the in while everybody out
I just wanna be the first yellin' out, "It's about time"
I don't have a clue what I'm doin' most times when I wake up in the mornin'
Being fake in the mix? Nah I'd just rather be a real not knowin'

[Verse 2: Oddisee]
I was out at an event one time
Tryna meet people and such
NY stuff where people think you're cool
Cause your crew seen skippin' a line
Once I gott inside I was chillin' out
Tryna feel the vibe, tryna feel it out
Feelin' out a place with a look up on my face
Like I wasn't really feelin' it much
And here she come
Lookin' like she run a blog about hair
Let me guess: you don't eat meat, do yoga every week
And you only hang out here
I'll digress, I was far from right
She was far from dim, we were so alike
There was no pretend, could've lost a gem
