Square Peg ft. Sonik Professa Lyrics

One time for the underdogs

All the square pegs

Never quite fittin in and couldn't care less

Ain't no more greater wealth

Than always being yourself

All in spite of what the people out there said

Yeah I've always been the underdog

A fuckin' square peg

Never fit up into rap and couldn't care less

Tryna run with the masses

That's a thing of the past

Cause the real artist is the one that's gonna last

Yo

Long ago I used to dream of me in the scene

Makin' hella ladies scream, steady gettin' green

Leave Diego for the Hills, homie livin' clean

But fast forward out the teens, it's a different thing

Ha! Cause I was trippin' thinkin it would hit

Shit that wouldn't be a fit no matter how I spit

Cause Jah never gon give you what you shouldn't get

Even though I thought I needed it or else I'd quit

But I'd rather kick back in a humble crib

With a hundred plays than gettin mills fuckin mumblin'

Jumpin' on stage like a dick on drugs and shit

Signed to a label only there to keep me jugglin'

We're in trouble when, art we're muzzlin'

In the name of keepin' dollar bills comin' in

Every year, pick some new faces, plug 'em in

But they never picked me and that's a fuckin win!

I used to stay up at night and feel bad

Puttin' records out with nothin' man I couldn't understand

Cause I'm the man with a mothafuckin' mic in my hand

I'd be damned if there ain't at least some demand

Yeah, but I guess it ain't the right mixture

Figure I'm just not quite what most picture

Underestimated in terms of bar spitters

Shit, why you think I always root for the Clippers?

And I'm born in the land of the Padres

Not quite what I'd say, is the epitome of some high praise

Doesn't matter if I ever win the limelight's gaze

I'm doin' this until the end of my days

One time for the underdogs

All the square pegs

Never quite fittin in and couldn't care less

Ain't no more greater wealth

Than always being yourself

All in spite of what the people out there said

Yeah I've always been the underdog

A fuckin' square peg

Never fit up into rap and couldn't care less

Tryna run with the masses

That's a thing of the past

Cause the real artist is the one that's gonna last

Kickin' back in NP, steady hittin' trees

Throwin' on a record, little Sade, BBD

Johnny G, that's the type of shit that's really hittin' me

Differently than the mothafuckin' whole litany

Of inconsistency, vocals sittin' miserably

Auto-tuned liberally, still it's soundin' wiggly

That ain't really how I'm tryna spend my life in the scene

That's why I say it proud, mothafuck the industry!

And I don't care 'bout no repercussions

I'm steady makin' music free of all corruption

The mothafuckin' Sonik Professa on the production

From Sydney to Diego he's heatin' up the oven

This shit's dope man, end of discussion

If it ain't rap, maybe then a close cousin

Cause nuff combustion

(Awww yeah!)

Come back cause the whole state of rap's destruction

People say I'm wack, but it's really kind of embarrassing

When they speak about all my music in terms bearishly

Obvious that most can't even craft a verse carefully

Goes to show there's other reasons they don't care for me

When you hop up on the mic and they stare at ya

Quick to talk shit, not even knowin ya character

Scratchin their heads which square they can pair ya for

The life of being mixed race in America

Could say we're all stuck, in social constructs

And if we don't break now, we might be all fucked

That's why I'm conscious when I go and make a song up

Pop it in the deck and man it's like a fuckin' bomb struck

Ras this song's tough!

Yeah, and Sonik P along with me a make it gwan bump

We're movin' on up

But even if I get invited to the club man I'll always be an

An underdog

Just a square peg

Never quite fittin in and couldn't care less

Ain't no more greater wealth

Than always being yourself

All in spite of what the people out there said

Yeah I've always been the underdog

A fuckin' square peg

Never fit up into rap and couldn't care less

Tryna run with the masses

That's a thing of the past

Cause the real artist is the one that's gonna last

One time for the underdogs

All the square pegs

Never quite fittin in and couldn't care less

Ain't no more greater wealth

Than always being yourself

All in spite of what the people out there said

Yeah I've always been the underdog

A fuckin' square peg

Never fit up into rap and couldn't care less

Tryna run with the masses

That's a thing of the past

Cause the real artist is the one that's gonna last

Trevy James

And Sonik Professa

From San Diego to Sydney man…

We some mothafuckin square pegs

And I don't give a fuck!
