[ti:Not A Rapper] [ar:张博] [al:原创王者大碟] [00:00.00]Not A Rapper [00:06.63]作词：张博Gari 作曲：王楠Christy [00:13.26]演唱：张博 [00:18.23] [00:20.37]Since I was a child [00:22.43]I've been dreaming to perform this kind of music style [00:24.99] [00:26.18]But as days go by [00:28.18]I'm gradually losing this desire of the prime time of my life [00:30.87] [00:32.50]Tonight after rounds of inner fight [00:35.11] [00:36.36]I finally made up my mind to give it a try [00:38.86] [00:39.61]When I was 5 that was a period of time [00:41.82]when I was a little quiet [00:43.38]I seldom talked even so lost in novels every night [00:45.57] [00:46.54]Until mom bought me a book [00:48.17]I was profoundly hooked [00:48.92] [00:49.67]Didn't know what it really was, [00:51.23]only followed what the tape embodied [00:52.70]Then I knew what I learned was English [00:54.45]which is a foreign language [00:55.95]That flows off the tongue [00:57.45]my words started to flow over my own lips [00:59.01]Then it became my weapon so [01:00.34]I began to forge a confidence so sublime [01:01.83]Though I did bad in Math [01:03.53]I'm proud of my Chinese accent [01:05.09]Coz I learned English in China [01:06.27]emulating Voice of America [01:07.78]Never been to America [01:09.15]only stayed a year in Africa [01:11.40]But I aced the test spoke for the best, [01:13.09]made choices without looking at the rest [01:14.65]Examination speaking competition [01:15.28] [01:16.17]every presentation what a revolution [01:17.29]Enough for the past [01:18.10]now I do not rely on that [01:19.60] [01:21.42]What matters now is how this man [01:22.92]smashes you with his new rap [01:24.35]I don't know how to choose my cap [01:25.86]nor do I wear kind of baggy pants [01:27.35]All I got is this pair of glasses [01:28.79]and all I wanna say is that [01:30.48]If you call me a rapper I'll tell you no [01:33.23]But I can rap better than you've already known [01:36.04]My temper's not gonna be [01:37.48]always under sound control [01:39.29]You better watch your mouth before I lose it [01:41.42]and jump down your throat [01:42.60]If you call me a rapper I'll tell you no [01:45.55]Sometimes like nothing better than to stay at home [01:48.82]I am not a figure coming from a reality show [01:51.82]Just a singer and a rocker in a world of my own [01:55.51] [01:56.32]In a world of my own [01:58.26] [01:59.28]Welcome back life is not always easy it's bumpy [02:01.03] [02:01.80]The more I study [02:03.12]I find what I learn is becoming so damn annoying [02:05.44]Even so [02:06.13]I chose to go with the flow though I was alone [02:08.44]Even though [02:08.88] [02:09.40]some schoolmates hated me really got my goat [02:11.53]They called me insane sometimes I felt so ashamed [02:14.03]And all my clever thoughts [02:16.59]perfunctorily went down the drain [02:18.09]But I was not afraid [02:19.53]they're saying no pain no gain [02:21.09]To get ahead you gotta have your way [02:23.15]no matter how hard it takes [02:24.53]Until I realize a dream post this cheek on TV [02:27.34]But how could I possibly let me be [02:29.03]an anchor anybody hardly sees [02:30.34]Does grab the MIC pretend to strive [02:31.84]and shrug every time broadcast live [02:33.46]What they overhear is fucking right [02:35.09]that's the one you love his lie [02:36.72]Tired of some lying with disgrace [02:38.22]Having no sense of respect on what you say [02:40.65]without a brain [02:41.37]Guess you were born yesterday, you born this way [02:43.80]you don't deserve a name [02:45.30]Get outta my face get outta my way [02:46.99]when I am rapping you better pray I say [02:49.26]If you call me a rapper I'll tell you no [02:51.76]But I can rap better than you've already known [02:55.00]My temper's not gonna be [02:57.01]always under sound control [02:58.26]You better watch your mouth before I lose it [03:00.88]and jump down your throat [03:02.07]If you call me a rapper I'll tell you no [03:05.38]Sometimes like nothing better than to stay at home [03:07.63]I am not a figure coming from a reality show [03:09.88] [03:10.93]Just a singer and a rocker in a world of my own [03:14.69]In a world of my own [03:17.45]Till now I find the lyric I write [03:19.07]has been superficial so what [03:20.82]These words I learned long time ago [03:22.57] [03:23.15]at primary school [03:23.77]Where a teacher called me nerd [03:25.52]I guess it's better than jerk [03:26.90]I play everything by ear [03:28.52]no matter for better or worse [03:30.15]That's me [03:30.77]this time you almost understand and know me [03:32.71]But let me tell you an important thing what [03:34.90]My name is Gari [03:35.90]It's a name a Mr Wei gave me [03:37.84]when I was still nobody [03:39.23]Gimme A Rhyme G-A-R-I I don't wanna lose it [03:43.16]Sorry your time's wasted [03:44.10] [03:44.73]I didn't notice it's already been 3 minutes [03:46.42] [03:47.23]Since the rap formally started [03:48.60]I guess it's time to end it [03:50.29]Yet it seems not so easy [03:51.85]My fans come back they wanna see [03:54.04]a geek like me speak so fast [03:55.54]So one more paragraph [03:56.48] [03:57.53]for those who nod your head clap your hands [03:59.77]Wave your flag I know it's a stupid rap [04:01.84]But you just keep on listening [04:03.65]that's why I keep on speaking [04:05.21]Feel life is so amazing [04:06.71]but I gotta tell you one more thing [04:08.52]If you call me a rapper I'll tell you no [04:11.34]But I can rap better than you've already known [04:13.90]My temper's not gonna be [04:15.27]always under sound control [04:16.34] [04:17.15]You better watch your mouth before I lose it [04:19.09]and jump down your throat [04:20.43]If you call me a rapper, I'll tell you no [04:23.35]Sometimes like nothing better than to stay at home [04:26.54]I am not a figure coming from a reality show [04:29.04] [04:29.85]Just a singer and a rocker in a world of my own [04:32.91] [04:33.90]In a world of my own [04:36.46] [04:51.09]Sorry but I am Not A Rapper [04:52.44]
