vince vandal - why we do lyrics

[bridge]
as a kid watching rappers on the tv
i wanted that to be me
and how the world seen me
now we murder stages all across the country
to keep our blood pumping, to make em feel something

[chorus]
that’s why we do it (ayy)
that’s why we do it (ayy)
that’s why we do this sh-t and you can hold us to it (ayy)
that’s why we do it (ayy)
that’s why we do it (ayy)
that’s why we do it ain’t a motherf-cking thing to it

[verse 1 – lex the lexicon artist]
little lex, no friends, total loser
spent her days glued to the screen of her computer
using msn instead of practicing her instruments
so she ended up obsessed with rappers on the internet
watsky rapped fast, and wax could rap in circles
collecting coins in her pocket to purchase her own journal
writing rhymes in stories, blasting meteora out loud
feeling like a f-cking rebel for somebody of her background
and all the feelings that she got from the music
she wanted to use it to move other humans and reproduce it
and whoever chooses to view or peruse it
she knew she could do it
aim to be the cool kid and that was the way she could prove it
and as i’m standing on the stage before the audience
the loser kid inside of me may be a little obvious
that’s the whole reason i’m doing all this artist sh-t
i wanna make you feel cause i’m an empathetic narcissist

[bridge]
as a kid watching rappers on the tv
i wanted that to be me
and how the world seen me
now we murder stages all across the country
to keep our blood pumping, to make em feel something

[verse 2 – schaffer the darklord]
little schaffer grew up sheltered in a plant state
farm town, smaller and weaker than all his cl-ssmates
deep into his fantasies he’d go when they’d attack
then cable tv came and gave him yo! mtv raps
with the fab five freddy and then ed lover
dr dre, fresh prince and peppa, snoop and the other dr. dre
ll and rick to public enemy and ice t
cypress hill and tribe from the adams[?] and mike d
he knew what he wanted, to be beloved and funny
tougher than leather and accompanied by dozens of honeys
an untouchable beast and dmc and he would be buddies
he’d be the envy of his enemies with buckets of money
and today i can say i went for it and at it for ages
i ain’t rich with paper but i’ve written thousands of pages
ain’t famous but i’m addicted to my fans happy faces
though i still do it for that little kid to show him he makes it

[bridge]
as a kid watching rappers on the tv
i wanted that to be me
and how the world seen me
now we murder stages all across the country
to keep our blood pumping, to make em feel something

[verse 3 – lex the lexicon artist & schaffer the darklord]
i do this sh-t so i can raise up my self-esteem
i’m sating myself with dreams by making myself a meme
i do it ’cause the satisfaction sweeter than candy
i do it ’cause i’ve long since abandoned by plan b
i do it ’cause my english teacher said i was dope
and if you hear this mr. sullivan, i thank you for giving me hope
i do it ’cause my mother was my biggest supporter
and its corny but remaining a performer’s sort of for her
and though it’s true i’m partly fueled by resentment from my numerous skeptics
i prefer the juice of acceptance
remembering how misfits can relate to an act
like i did as a kid i just do this just to give something back
and now we’ve mastered this comp-ssionate rap as an art form
not the asian eminem, i’m the asian schaffer the darklord
and when i’m done, an old man on the porch
i’ll know i had a good run before i p-ssed off the torch (to lex!)
(me? uh yeah uh sure i guess we could do that)

[bridge]
as a kid watching rappers on the tv
i wanted that to be me
and how the world seen me
now we murder stages all across the country
to keep our blood pumping, to make em feel something
