CYeah I gotta funny face, Fyou can call me fred astaire
AmIf you don’t believe in hell how Gthe hell could you be headed there?
CI'm about to lead a Frevolution cross the Delaware
AmOr maybe I'm not going anywhere lGike MC Escher stairs
CNo plan no ma’am, Fthat's the way I’m programmed
AmIm so mentally unstable GI should star in Homeland
CBringing it back like Roseanne, FI'll bow down to no man
AmThese turkeys got beef but Gthey’re too chicken to go ham
         CAnd FI'm pulling back the curtain
Amcause when your magic’s workin Geveryone calls you Merlin
CBut when it isn't workin,’ Fthe same person calls you worthless
AmBut now the tides are turning lGike you just changed detergents
[Chorus]
Imma Cdo what I do, no maFtter what you say,
AmI’m living my life Guckfay ouyay
CI guess that every superFman has a doomsday,
AmI’m living my life Guckfay ouyay
CI'm pretty good but there's Froom for improvement
AmMy dream is to join the X-Gmen and become a mutant
CDevelop a dope-ass super power Fand then when I use it
AmIt'll have all the dudes scared Glike the #MeToo movement
                 C  FAnd what the hell is wrong with me
Ammaybe I should stop horsing Garound and be a model-T
CI couldn't give commands Fif I authored deuteronomy
AmThe only props I get is when I'Gm doing prop comedy
CSo where in the hell are my accolades
FI’m barely even getting a passing grade
AmI’ve got about as many real friends as GTom Hanks in “Cast Away”
CBut I still got that super strength and FI did it without those gamma rays
                         Am       GN.C.
Because these days are aaahhhhh, happy days
                    CWell I Fdo what I do,
and I'm Amabout to change the future where's Gelizabeth shue?
CBut you don’t hear me like a Fsoft C sound in Madrid
Ambut I'm always coming back, girl. I’m Glike the McRib
[Chorus]
Imma Cdo what I do, no maFtter what you say,
AmI’m living my life Guckfay ouyay
CI guess that every superFman has a doomsday,
AmI’m living my life Guckfay ouyay
             C  FI can take a Amloss and GI can handle reCjection
FI just want to Amhave an effect like Grussians on eClections
FI can take a Amloss and GI can handle reCjection
FI just want to Amhave an effect like Grussians on eClections
CSome of you people are done with me Froasting me up like a pumpkin seed
AmFailure can be humbling Gthats why raps so tongue and cheek
CLook at all my accomplishments and Fall you see are tumbleweeds
AmWhy you being a buzzkill like you Gstepping on a bumble bee?
                 CAnd you can Fthink what you like
cause it would Amtake a brain transplant to Gchange your mind
Oh well you Cknow I got the juice so why the Fhell you drinking kool aid?
AmI also rap in pig latin so Guckfay ouyay
[Chorus]
Imma Cdo what I do, no maFtter what you say,
AmI’m living my life Guckfay ouyay
CYa bettah wake ya ass up Fcause it's a school day,
AmI’m living my life Guckfay ouyay
[Outro]
  CNa na na na
  FNa na na na
  AmNa na na na
Guckfay ouyay
  CNa na na na
  FNa na na na
  AmNa na na na
Guckfay ouyay
