[Chorus]
If I could be somebody else
(If I could be somebody else)
For the life of me, I can't tell who it would be
(I can't think of who it would be)
'Cause all I ever wanted was to be myself
(All I ever wanted was to be myself)
Lately they say that's what's killin' me
(Well, well, well) If it's killin' me then
Say goodbye and when I'm gone
Make a home made drum and beat it with my bones
Say goodbye and when I'm gone
Make a home made drum and beat it with my bones

[Verse 1]
I've wined and dined
With kings and queens
Sat in cold alleys
Eatin' pork and beans
I reach for the stars
Yeah, I chased that dream
Ran with the scum
With the scams and schemes
What can I say, born with a
Adventurous spirit ever
Since I can remember
Had an 808 behind my sternum
A tickin' in the back of my psyche
Old folks lookin', thinkin'
"Is he stupid?" He might be
That boy he marchin' to the
Beat of a different tuba
I do believe that may be true but
Bitch, I'm a doer
And I'ma do it while y'all
Sit talkin' all that manure
All that manure
[Chorus]
If I could be somebody else
(If I could be somebody else)
For the life of me, I can't tell who it would be
(I can't think of who it would be)
'Cause all I ever wanted was to be myself
(All I ever wanted was to be myself)
Lately they say that's what's killin' me
(Well, well, well) If it's killin' me then
Say goodbye and when I'm gone
Make a home made drum and beat it with my bones
Say goodbye and when I'm gone
Make a home made drum and beat it with my bones

[Verse 2]
No good, drop low
Go get 'em, Tiger, no attaboy
Necessary, I'm a fighter
Till I'm in the cemetery
Rotten and forgotten
Go for broke and still get dough
Still standin' arms crossed
You know the pose
Cameras zoomin' in
Till it stops at my nose... snot
Gonna change
I'm a dirty little booger
I'm into liquor
And filthy [?]
I'm Duke Nukem in a crowd
Full of [?] and Koopas
With nostrils
Like Hoovers
All fucked up
Like a last call at the club
By the mall at the last call
Assholes and opinions
[Chorus]
If I could be somebody else
(If I could be somebody else)
For the life of me, I can't tell who it would be
(I can't think of who it would be)
'Cause all I ever wanted was to be myself
(All I ever wanted was to be myself)
Lately they say that's what's killin' me
(Well, well, well) If it's killin' me then
Say goodbye and when I'm gone
Make a home made drum and beat it with my bones
Say goodbye and when I'm gone
Make a home made drum and beat it with my bones

[Interlude]
"Huh?"
"That's another song
Another great idea for a song"
