travie mccoy - i am pagliacci lyrics

[chorus]
and i kid, i kid around (kid around)
and i kid, i kid around
’cause i don’t like myself
sometimes
i just don’t like myself (sometimes)
the way i am
the way i am
why so serious?

[verse 1]
growing up bi+racial wasn’t fun
the proverbial sore thumb
but i knew who i was from day one
i used humor to cover up my sadness
and triple x fubu to cover up my man tits (stop looking at me)
white girls loved me ’cause i was kinda black (haha)
but too black to introduce me to mom and dad (for real?)
then there’s a point in which you start to get exhausted
for tryna keep these skeletons from spilling out the closet
i blogged about my breakdown when i nearly lost it
exercising my demons, had they asses doing crossfit
i got ninety nine reasons to keep from leaving my apartment
ninety+eight are human beings, the other’s because i’m cautious (leave me alone)
sometimes i bite my fingernails ’til they bl++dy
might skip a few showers but my friends still love me
and i know it might seem a little stupid
i’m almost in my forties, still chubby and reclusive
[chorus]
and i kid, i kid around (to keep from crying)
and i kid, i kid around (it keeps you smiling)
’cause i don’t like myself
sometimes
i just don’t like myself
the way i am
the way i am

[verse 2]
when every morning’s like stepping on a bunch of loose legos
nothing sentimental when your own body feels like a rental
plus my sink ain’t even working
i think they cut the water
i’m at the brink at 10 am, my head’s already cluttered
so i went to see this shrink and he wrote a prescription said:
“there’s a clown in town, pay him a visit
i guarantee you by the end of the show, you’ll be cured of all your sorrow” (yeah right)
i said, “doc, sit down, there’s something you should know”
(let me take some notes here)
i am that clown, i been the clown
and i always kid around tryna k!ll that clown
and you don’t really care
you just play a doctor on television (stupid)
with an overpriced leather chair for me to b+tch in
“well, i’ve assessed the story and i think that i should mention
i just prescribe the pills and get paid to listen”
[chorus]
’cause i don’t like myself
sometimes
i just don’t like myself (sometimes)
the way i am
the way i am
