| Now when I was a young boy, | |
| ‘bout the age of five | |
| my teachers told me | |
| I could be the greatest man alive | |
| they told me I could change the world | |
| be whatever I wanted to be | |
| there was no one in the world like me | |
| every one of us was so unique | |
| I’d not be an average man | |
| no sir, I’d be no average man | |
| so I had those big dreams | |
| and I had those big skills | |
| had a reason to live | |
| and I had some time to kill | |
| but the world got louder still | |
| yeah the world got louder still | |
| it tried to drown me out | |
| it tried to break down my will | |
| “Get out my way, I ain’t no average man” | |
| I was thinking so much bigger than the average man | |
| they flood my feed with all these useless lists | |
| while I was curing cancer with these nonstop hits | |
| so I was bitter towards the average man | |
| then I hit my thirties like a bird against a window | |
| I couldn’t reconcile the two disparate versions of me: | |
| on the one hand was this man in search of comfort | |
| and on the other was this meta-superhero I could be | |
| maybe my eyes were never big | |
| maybe my head was small | |
| the man who knows his place | |
| may be the greatest man of all | |
| I found freedom in obscurity | |
| and purity in poverty | |
| why try to be amazing in a world so saturated with amazingness? | |
| it’s blazing us | |
| exhausting me, | |
| I wonder what it’s costed me, | |
| the price I’ve paid for baby boomers | |
| propping up my self-esteem, | |
| I should let go of all these scripted, movie-lifted dreams | |
| and seek solace in my species | |
| as an average man | |
| I’ll pay admission like an average man | |
| I’ll raise a family like the average man | |
| I’ll rock the hairline of an average man | |
| I’ll binge on Netflix like an average man | |
| I drop a remix like an average man | |
| I crowd-source it like an average man | |
| I’m hyperbolic like an average man | |
| I only iterate like an |
| Now when I was a young boy, | |
| ' bout the age of five | |
| my teachers told me | |
| I could be the greatest man alive | |
| they told me I could change the world | |
| be whatever I wanted to be | |
