Not A Rapper

Since I was a child

I've been dreaming to perform this kind of music style

But as days go by

I'm gradually losing this desire of the prime time of my life

Tonight after rounds of inner fight

I finally made up my mind to give it a try

When I was 5 that was a period of time

when I was a little quiet

I seldom talked even so lost in novels every night

Until mom bought me a book

I was profoundly hooked

Didn't know what it really was,

only followed what the tape embodied

Then I knew what I learned was English

which is a foreign language

That flows off the tongue

my words started to flow over my own lips

Then it became my weapon so

I began to forge a confidence so sublime

Though I did bad in Math

I'm proud of my Chinese accent

Coz I learned English in China

emulating Voice of America

Never been to America

only stayed a year in Africa

But I aced the test spoke for the best,

made choices without looking at the rest

Examination speaking competition

every presentation what a revolution

Enough for the past

now I do not rely on that

What matters now is how this man

smashes you with his new rap

I don't know how to choose my cap

nor do I wear kind of baggy pants

All I got is this pair of glasses

and all I wanna say is that

If you call me a rapper I'll tell you no

But I can rap better than you've already known

My temper's not gonna be

always under sound control

You better watch your mouth before I lose it

and jump down your throat

If you call me a rapper I'll tell you no

Sometimes like nothing better than to stay at home

I am not a figure coming from a reality show

Just a singer and a rocker in a world of my own

In a world of my own

Welcome back life is not always easy it's bumpy

The more I study

I find what I learn is becoming so damn annoying

Even so

I chose to go with the flow though I was alone

Even though

some schoolmates hated me really got my goat

They called me insane sometimes I felt so ashamed

And all my clever thoughts

perfunctorily went down the drain

But I was not afraid

they're saying no pain no gain

To get ahead you gotta have your way

no matter how hard it takes

Until I realize a dream post this cheek on TV

But how could I possibly let me be

an anchor anybody hardly sees

Does grab the MIC pretend to strive

and shrug every time broadcast live

What they overhear is fucking right

that's the one you love his lie

Tired of some lying with disgrace

Having no sense of respect on what you say

without a brain

Guess you were born yesterday, you born this way

you don't deserve a name

Get outta my face get outta my way

when I am rapping you better pray I say

If you call me a rapper I'll tell you no

But I can rap better than you've already known

My temper's not gonna be

always under sound control

You better watch your mouth before I lose it

and jump down your throat

If you call me a rapper I'll tell you no

Sometimes like nothing better than to stay at home

I am not a figure coming from a reality show

Just a singer and a rocker in a world of my own

In a world of my own

Till now I find the lyric I write

has been superficial so what

These words I learned long time ago

at primary school

Where a teacher called me nerd

I guess it's better than jerk

I play everything by ear

no matter for better or worse

That's me

this time you almost understand and know me

But let me tell you an important thing what

My name is Gari

It's a name a Mr Wei gave me

when I was still nobody

Gimme A Rhyme G-A-R-I I don't wanna lose it

Sorry your time's wasted

I didn't notice it's already been 3 minutes

Since the rap formally started

I guess it's time to end it

Yet it seems not so easy

My fans come back they wanna see

a geek like me speak so fast

So one more paragraph

for those who nod your head clap your hands

Wave your flag I know it's a stupid rap

But you just keep on listening

that's why I keep on speaking

Feel life is so amazing

but I gotta tell you one more thing

If you call me a rapper I'll tell you no

But I can rap better than you've already known

My temper's not gonna be

always under sound control

You better watch your mouth before I lose it

and jump down your throat

If you call me a rapper, I'll tell you no

Sometimes like nothing better than to stay at home

I am not a figure coming from a reality show

Just a singer and a rocker in a world of my own

In a world of my own

Sorry but I am Not A Rapper
