Purposely Off Key Lyrics

I didn’t think I had to do this

But I’m gonna do it anyway

I sing off key on purpose

Like when I made that song for Ethan

There’s other things you should notice

Like the content of my lyrics

Please don't be oblivious

And I’ll embrace the criticism

I just want to tell the world

My life throughout my songs

Which rappers do you know sing in key

All my hooks inspired by B-I-G

I know I’ll never flow on his level see

But in rap you allowed break rules G

I might mess with the reverbs too

Yet, I refuse to use autotunes

I’m like what are all you rappers doing

T-pain brought voice to the game

But the difference is he can sang

Too many people on it they make it lame

It’s not my place to say

So I think I’m just gonna stay right in my lane

Cuz their fame will put me to shame

Like when I got turned down by flames

Made me the man I became

Why some of them starting to sound the same

Okay mayne

I sing off-key on purpose

Like when I made that song for Ethan

There’s other things you should notice

Like the content of my lyrics

Please don't be oblivious

And ill embrace the criticism

I just want to tell the world

My life throughout my songs

Had a friend message me on FB

Had the audacity

Told me that I was singing off key

On Ethan’s hook like at 2319

I know you fail to know this

I rather be off key than be off beat

I do it purposely in the chorus

Critics think they got ears fail to notice

For them, not gonna be metaphoric

But I try to keep my voice and thoughts are organic

Lord teach non-musicians about flat chords

Instead of being ignorant like a double edged sword

Sorry though can’t afford to give you an award

Because we don’t hear or see lyrics anymore

I need get me some liquor at the store

One of my best friends was from Ecuador

We still talk today we met in the marine corps

I sing off-key on purpose

Like when I made that song for Ethan

There’s other things you should notice

Like the content of my lyrics

Please don't be oblivious

And ill embrace the criticism

I just want to tell the world

My life throughout my songs

Thank you for the thought

Mister Ropp

I was about to give up

But you woke me up

With that message

Even if it wasn’t constructive

I’m not gonna be offended I actually loved it

You still gave me the idea for my next album

But just so we are clear

I’m still gonna be me and do me because that’s me

And I’ll still sing purposely off key

I sing off key on purpose

Like when I made that song for Ethan

There’s other things you should notice

Like the content of my lyrics

Please don't be oblivious

And ill embrace the criticism

I just want to tell the world

My life throughout my songs
