Evan - What I Sound Like? Lyrics




Ooooh. Let's talk music

One day, you're young and you wanna try something new
You get an instrument and a thing to get used to
Before you know it, you're playing it like you never did
Should try to get employed by what you dig
Ya' see, I just like all different kinds of music
Name a genre, I'm probably not opposed to it
But they don't understand, they gotta listen what I say to you
Put me in alternative cause I don't sound like the radio
But honestly, I don't want to just sound okay
I wanna sound like a new person every day
I'll play drums on one track
Sing on another track
Leave the other two blank, because no one's ever said that
Channel Foos on a one song
Mix with Mike-all night long
Nobody, no, not even me, knows what to expect

You'll see that I'll rap to synthpop
Sing, rave to hip hop
Processed so much, you won't even know it's "Lollipop"
Making funky tracks that'll take you way back when
Country, 2Pac, folk and rock, then go back again
Guitars on Dubstep
The Police on the news
You know the beat bustin' when it's catchier than blues
The catchiest, eclectic beat you've ever heard
It might even put other tracks you hear now in the dirt. Whoa
I don't mean to
Swear I don't mean to
I don't even curse, but I'm saying that the radio might like me more than they do you
'Cause mine ain't never gonna keep you in a queue
And someday, I could maybe pay my dues
As a father, a son and buy instruments too
In my world, x is more than two
Or one. It could mean everything that makes you you
It's what you have that sets you apart
If you haven't already, I encourage you to start

Oh, I love this feeling
Oh, It's like my spirit's hit the ceiling
If you're 9 or 42 (42)
Give yourself a reason to do you
And if, and when I'm 43
I'll likely still be doin' me

Ha ha
An open book, I got a lot to say
But this next little verse is gon' be shorter than a holiday
It's all good to be aware
That the corporate world sees a yes or no everywhere
But I say it's okay
If you follow your dreams with a kid's ideology
Even at the same time
Get a lawyer's degree, and realize your childhood dreams
You got your skills all technically
And yet think all conceptually
Here's what we all can do
We can think like we're kids at heart and physically age, too
Oh, I love this feeling
Oh, It's like my spirit's hit the ceiling
If you're 9 or 42 (42)
Give yourself a reason to do you (do you)
And if, and when I'm 43
I'll likely still be doin' me (And we say...)
Oh
I love this feeling
Oh
It's like my spirit's hit the ceiling
If you're 9 or 42 (42)
Give yourself a reason to do you (do you)
And if, and when I'm 43 (I'm 43. Man!)
I'll likely still be doin' me (And that's what we say...)

Yeah
I wanted to thank everyone for listening to my EP
Mixtape, mini-album or whatever you wanna call it
You guys are the coolest, and I mean that with all my heart
I'm blessed to have people that care

Yeah
Ha ha

Stay young, my friends
