Lyrics I Know - LEX the Lexicon Artist

Guess who?
OHHHHHH SHITTTTT!
Ha-ha!
People in the place to be!
Did y'all miss me?
Yo

You're the best
Yeah I know, I know, I know
Killer set
Yeah I know, I know, I know
I'm impressed
Yeah I know, I know, I know
Thank you so much for coming out to the show
THOUGH
You're the best
Yeah I know, I know, I know
Killer set
Yeah I know, I know, I know
I'm impressed
Yeah I know, I know, I know
Thank you so much for coming out to the show
SO

Walk up to the stage, I'm set
Put my fingers round the mic that I just graced with a check
Spit some raps at all the randos get them on to my side
Couple minutes back somebody asked if i was the sound guy

All right
I knew this would happen I'm fucking used to it
Been at this for three years, technically I'm still new to it
Impostor syndrome swarming I chop em off like medusa heads
I'm allergic to boring, you got me taking a sudafed.

Assuming makes an ass of U and Ming,
Which isn't my Chinese name but it's the word for the thing
Went to war with armor made of bars, returned with a chink
So you can hit me with the slurs and watch me swerve in a blink

Cause I'm the lexicon artist, that word player life
If I married a writer I'd be a word player's wife
But I'd rather be alone with my curses of creativity
Than spending energy on another person that isn't me

You're the best
Yeah I know, I know, I know
Killer set
Yeah I know, I know, I know
I'm impressed
Yeah I know, I know, I know
Thank you so much for coming out to the show
THOUGH
You're the best
Yeah I know, I know, I know
Killer set
Yeah I know, I know, I know
I'm impressed
Yeah I know, I know, I know
Thank you so much for coming out to the show
SO

Even before you speak I see what you mean
I'm STILL everybody's favorite mind reading machine
But don't come asking for advice cause my opinions SUCK
And my prescriptions all consist of NOT GIVING A FUCK

But please do come to me and talk to me and sing me your praises
If you think I'm dope then give me shows and bring me your stages
If you're thinking of getting intimate, well let me rephrase it
This the closest that you'll get, short of getting me naked

I've predicted interactions had by you and me
You hesitate when I ask you to buy a USB
"But I'm so old school!" shit I was born in '94
Once upon a time I had a cd player, not anymore

And to all of you who share my work
And wear my shirts
You lovely folks are thereby cursed
To know that everything you're saying I predicted it first
But I appreciate it anyway which isn't the worst

COME ON!

You're the best
Yeah I know, I know, I know
Killer set
Yeah I know, I know, I know
I'm impressed
Yeah I know, I know, I know
Thank you so much for coming out to the show
THOUGH
You're the best
Yeah I know, I know, I know
Killer set
Yeah I know, I know, I know
I'm impressed
Yeah I know, I know, I know
Thank you so much for coming out to the show
SO

Some people say that I'm a feminist icon (what)
I guess I am because I f with the lights on (TMI?)
They say that I'm an Asian American activist
But I can't rap in Mandarin and I haven't been practicing (ni hao?)

So thanks, but reconsider perhaps?
I don't exactly put the role model shit in my raps
But I guess I get it it feels good to be represented
And I'm happy to represent you if you're feeling like crap

That's a fact. If you like me, then I like you
This is true. This is your mic, and my mic too
And when I spit it, you dig it yeah I already knew
Cause that's exactly what you called me to this venue to do, dude

So keep the compliments coming
It keeps my optimist buzzing
Lest my belief in my competence drops into nothing
It's funny how my confidence is based on your vote
And I just told you all about it in this song that I wrote

Let's go

You're the best
Yeah I know, I know, I know
Killer set
Yeah I know, I know, I know
I'm impressed
Yeah I know, I know, I know
Thank you so much for coming out to the show
THOUGH
You're the best
Yeah I know, I know, I know
Killer set
Yeah I know, I know, I know
I'm impressed
Yeah I know, I know, I know
Thank you so much for coming out to the show
SO

LA LA LA
LA LA LA LA LA
LA LA LA
LA LA LA LA LA
Yeah but seriously don't ever say that shit to me again
I'm just kidding, you can say it
