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
