I bet you wanna hear a joke, huh?
I bet you wanna see me choke, like a bloke huh, huh
cuz after all this time I am just the class clown
village idiot laughing stock of the town
but I will not bow before the title you give
not a chicken chaser, my name will mean something big
cuz your name is all you have at the end of the day,
clouds gray your true moniker is keeping you sane
but after years of shaping, it bears resistance to change
and it becomes a pestilence arresting us into shame
so we create a new identity and alter our voice
reveal the honesty bereft of lies and give you a choice
take me or leave me, as I present it to you
M. deep Tyler B its up to you to choose
but I refuse to lie when people listen to me
and that's the truth behind the name MC Deep

The lies, begin to shake
YOUR Temperament begins to sway
the mask you wear fades away
to truth behind the page

people telling me that I haven't changed, they don't listen
being funny is just one part of my name there's something missing
something intrinsic, something analytic
liven on the road, that's paved with good intentions
deep swish dragon slayerz was a local success
we dropped mythic, sick shit didn't impress
because the people expected another novelty rap
but I don't wanna be typecast as a comedy act
I only wish that people saw me as an artist
not another cartman laugh at people fart
started a fire in my city that could never be quelled
and it is the same fatal spark that kept me held in this cell
committing hell with my words and my raps and my rhymes
and this action is crushing my brain into spines
because they never understood me like I wanted em to
they fucking severed what was in my psyche fronting no truth
but i can put em on blast and they'll blast all my shit
never understand me or why I'm fucked up as this
class clown woes, you laugh but never cry at my writtens
so i chose to change your mind, force you to listen

The lies, begin to shake
YOUR Temperament begins to sway
the mask you wear fades away
to truth behind the page

and I've been so Lost
I wanted you to like me, but at what cost
am I nothing more than a joke can I be both sides?
never wanna choke inside when I look in your eyes
I need to stand tall
Proclaim that I am more than one man after all
I am a being capable of almost anything
and I refuse to let the masses tell me who to be
and I don't wanna be cold
but if I cant be honest to you I don't need you at all
and I don't wanna be a burden
but the truth is there's a man behind the curtain

and I'm ready
to be the kid
intemperate until I'm seen as a man
