《Want to Be》歌词

[00:00:00] Want To Be - Oddisee

[00:00:16] There's this feeling I've been chasing

[00:00:18] I've got leads on its location

[00:00:20] It changes form every time I face it

[00:00:22] Only appreciated when it's gone

[00:00:24] Taken for granted like it's etched in stone

[00:00:26] But liberty ain't strong any wrong break it

[00:00:28] Placed in my arms my controls in cages

[00:00:30] 'Tween a rock and a hard place and they say move on

[00:00:32] That's what I'm trying to do a miracle to perform

[00:00:34] But you can't make that without an eyebrow raising

[00:00:36] People want your magic for their own ovation

[00:00:38] When you're in full bloom is when the beehive swarms

[00:00:40] And the time I've wasted trying to fit in norms

[00:00:42] People like me more when I pretend I'm basic

[00:00:44] But what do I want I practiced patience

[00:00:46] And right then and there it dawned

[00:00:48] I just want to be happy

[00:00:52] I just want to be free

[00:00:56] I just want to be left alone

[00:01:00] I just want to be me

[00:01:05] What in the world are you looking for

[00:01:07] Can't a young man get money on tour

[00:01:09] Live in Brooklyn buildings prewar

[00:01:11] With a name that don't make you think of c4

[00:01:13] High ceiling apartments

[00:01:14] No ceiling on my living I ain't giving up options

[00:01:16] Love without a limit is the mission accomplished

[00:01:18] Don't expect to get it without wetting of armpits

[00:01:20] I sweat these pores

[00:01:21] In this American scheme a picket sign to a fence

[00:01:23] They want to kick me out the country as a line of defense

[00:01:25] See me I'm from the country and I'm proud of my ends

[00:01:27] And even though you try to shun me you ain't shrouding intent

[00:01:29] I'm just a man with a vision in a tunnel with hit men

[00:01:32] Trying to shoot the light bulb because they thought I was twitching

[00:01:34] Got a few ideas wrote them down in a list

[00:01:35] Let me say them now before I forget them

[00:01:37] I just want to be happy

[00:01:41] I just want to be free

[00:01:45] I just want to be left alone

[00:01:49] I just want to be me

[00:01:54] I don't believe in a promise

[00:01:55] Unless it's one I made myself

[00:01:57] 'Cause there is no denying the facts

[00:01:58] If I'm the only accomplice

[00:01:59] And rarely have I courted for help

[00:02:01] I ain't trying to monstrous

[00:02:02] I just want month's rent

[00:02:03] A little something extra I ain't hoarding the wealth

[00:02:05] 'Cause 99 percent of us is trying to get success

[00:02:07] That 99 percent of us was already dealt

[00:02:09] No trophy on the mantle but I got a mantle

[00:02:11] When mama couldn't pay the power I would grab the candles

[00:02:13] I'm just thankful I can channel that to block tangle

[00:02:15] Steering straight I don't hesitate to park an angle

[00:02:17] I'm just trying to turn a smirk to a smile

[00:02:19] Restricted to allow

[00:02:20] All while keeping my distance from the crowd

[00:02:22] And that may change along the road I pave

[00:02:24] But today right here and now

[00:02:25] I just want to be happy

[00:02:29] I just want to be free

[00:02:34] I just want to be left alone

[00:02:38] I just want to me

[00:02:42] I just want to be happy

[00:02:46] I just want to be free

[00:02:50] I just want to be left alone

[00:02:54] I just want to me
