Generally, I'm a modest guy I've eaten my share of humble pie Sometimes that's delicious but I do have wishes To swim with the biggest of bigger fishes What would be the point if we were all the same? Life would be an abject hackneyed game No frame of reference for pleasure when there's no pain I'd rather not refrain I'd rather not abstain
Do you believe I'm special? Would you agree I'm Special? How could I be so special? Do I believe I'm special
I'm not afraid to be cast aside Invisible guys don't need to hide The struggle is real but what's the deal When folks feel like they need to have the most appeal I remember practicing most weekends At the expense of spending joyful time with friends Imagining that it would yield the best rewards Not for repeating hip-hop doo-wop chords
Do you believe I'm special? Would you agree I'm Special? How could I be so special? Do I believe I'm special
Mom always told me I was a one of a kind But now that I'm old and wise I thought it never be runnin' my mind What makes me different than all of the other dreamers I can't impress him with bars when I meet up with the reaper I said ignorance is blissful World is abyssmal So every time I rap I gotta snap like a wishbone What the future holds, let me look into my crystal ball I ain't got no friends left, 'cause i tick'd 'em off I ain't slept in days I'm gettin' more F's than A's When this record plays ever then I'm in a mental haze Starin' at the yellow moon while Aaron Neville sings Heard the devil say I'd never be special Wait I control my destiny Piercing up what is left for me Confidence and common sense it be the recipe This industry it be faker than pro-wrestling Makes me wonder if this talent really is a specialty
Anyway, who am I to fret like this? Maybe a key change can pull me out of this abyss
Sooner or later I shall find myself And make amends with the me left on the shelf In a dance and epic vast expansive kids A round-robin championship of ids Maybe I'm unique, and maybe not But I might as well deliver all I've got
Do you believe I'm special? Would you agree I'm special? Do I believe I'm special?
Do you believe we're special? Would you agree we're special? How could we be so special? Do we believe we're special?
