Lyrics

The Apple

[Intro]

I'm a little nutty and I know it but if you go back and take a look at my history

You will see that I am not the only one who's off his rocker, there were many before me

I was always labeled the black sheep of the family, what a bad seed I'd grow to be

But if you take a look at us now, you'll see the apple didn't fall too far from the tree

[Interlude]

Ha-ha! (Ha-ha, ha-ha, ha-ha, ha-ha)

Alright, look

I'ma tell you the story from my side

Maybe you'll understand, check it out

[Verse 1]

You done witnessed unexplainable shit

Too insane to explain, people run from what they just don't get

Maybe Shady should have just hit 'em with a little bit

Did I spit too soon? Should I have spoon fed 'em it?

But I was just so eager to prove

I was even worth bein' in the same league or the room

Of the people of whom I was in

Every now and then, I look up like I was seekin' approval

Was it because of the pigment of my skin?

Or was it a figment of my imagination? (Ha)

Maybe it bothered me more than it did them

Maybe it wasn't a big deal back then

But to me it was, see what it was

Was I had developed a complex from being judged

Proof spit his verse, now I'm next, let's see who balks

I'm in the booth starin' back to see whose mugs

I get a reaction from, usually the first thumb

Was from Proof and the rest of the crew backed him up

And no one lied to each other 'cause none of us had deals

It was real, we just wanted tickets for that meal

[Chorus]

Sometimes, I feel like it's just me

Sometimes, I feel like I'm goin' crazy

But take a look at my family

'Cause the apple don't fall too far from the tree

I said, "Sometimes, I feel like it's just me

Sometimes, I feel like I'm goin' crazy

But take a look at my family

'Cause the apple don't fall too far from the tree"

[Verse 2]

Ever since my mother was pregnant with a second egg

'Cause she said that I had a baby sister

Who fell out of the window, I was too young to remember

Kansas City projects, I was, like, five-six

And how come, I remember Malcolm, Isaac, and Boogy

If it was the projects in Missouri?

'Cause those were my best friends until Isaac

Took my tricycle and my Uncle Todd went to try to go get it back

And ended up gettin' jumped and cut in the gut

With a switch and seventy-some stitches

Which is, to this day, why my mother still tries to show me some old fake pictures

Of a fictitious little sister who never existed

And this is why a part of my life's so twisted

But I can never be as sick as that bitch is

And by the way, that bitch is one of my relatives

[Chorus]

Sometimes, I feel like it's just me

Sometimes, I feel like I'm goin' crazy

But take a look at my family

'Cause the apple don't fall too far from the tree

I said, "Sometimes, I feel like it's just me

Sometimes, I feel like I'm goin' crazy

But take a look at my family

'Cause the apple don't fall too far from the tree"

[Verse 3]

You probably have to peel back layers upon layers of pain

To see why everything I say is so insane

What's different about my brain

That separates me from other players in this game?

On the surface, it may seem like a scheme

Or some sort of scam for me to get some damn sympathy

But that's the last thing I need

Is for people to walk around feelin' sorry for me

And I am not a G, never claimed to be

I gave my vest to Ca$his, let's hope he don't need it more than me

But we'll see, 'cause we ain't lookin' for beef

But if it comes our way, what do we turn the other cheek?

Come on

[Chorus]

Sometimes, I feel like it's just me

Sometimes, I feel like I'm goin' crazy

But take a look at my family

'Cause the apple don't fall too far from the tree

I said, "Sometimes, I feel like it's just me

Sometimes, I feel like I'm goin' crazy

But take a look at my family

'Cause the apple don't fall too far from the tree"

[Outro]

(Ha, ha)

Yeah, and I'm the crazy one, right?

Whatever, then let me be the crazy one

Balalalalalalalalalala (Aha-ha-ha)

Cuckoo (Cuckoo), cuckoo (Cuckoo), tweet! (Tweet!)

Ha-ha
