Not A Rapper
词：张博Gari 曲：王楠Christy

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
