INPASSING lyrics
by McGwire
[Intro]
Oh, mama
As I'm wanderin' by
I say to you in passin', "I love ya"
Oh, I'm not livin' right
No, I'm not livin' right
So I say to you in passin', "I love ya"
And when I go away, move on to bigger things
I can say to you in passin', "I love ya"
[Verse 1]
Yo, what up?
It's ya big boy, Mick
Tryna make his own way with his big boy schtick
Yeah, once again up to my big boy tricks
Where I hide behind jokes about my big boy— Stop (p*nis!)
Twenty years on this big ass search
I got work, and dress shirts, but don't feel too mature though
Takin' a minute to recollect and collect
All the things that connect me to society, it's hard to see
Where I'd be without my parents standing right behind me
Where I'd be without my parents there to remind mе of what I can be
But it's hard for me to exprеss that and confess that
I'd be a mess, and I'm a better man because of that
With every gen that lends a hand and help me break my mental dams
I don't know what I did to deserve them, but I'm thankful, so
I'll let them know it casually, without the big formality
I'll let them know in passing, mom, dad, I love you
[Chorus]
Keep tap, keep tappin' along
Block the words like you don't wanna know
Like you don't wanna know
Just close your eyes and sing along
Go ahead and sing along, yeah
Keep tappin', keep tappin' along
Even if they won't share your song
Won't share your song
Close your eyes and sing along
Go ahead and sing along, yeah (What?)
[Verse 2]
Oh, I'm older than I was, but I'm still younger than I should be
Who told 'em that this kid had an out to high society
Roll the dice with no label, got more than I would, see
'Cause all they'd end up sayin' is, "That rap just ain't good, free"
I got a small world but it's always gettin' bigger
There's holes in my plan but it ain't straight wicker
I wanna shoot for the stars but I'm scared to pull the trigger
No, I don't freestyle, but my thinkin's gettin' quicker
434 to the 213
Chasin' after my dreams with the city behind me
Sure, I'm nobody now, but just gimme a year
And my ego will finally be the same size as my career, uh-huh
Big-headed but not top-heavy
I don't live the rap life, I'm just keepin' it steady
Already eatin' my words, I don't know what to say
I'll just show you how it's done when we land in L.A., oh
[Chorus]
Keep tap, keep tappin' along
Block the words like you don't wanna know
Like you don't wanna know
Just close your eyes and sing along
Go ahead and sing along, yeah
Ba bada bababa, bada-bada ba-bada ba-ba, badadada
Dadadada da-da-da, dada dada, da dada, dadadadadada-dada-dada
[Verse 3]
It's the players livin' life under your microscope
Hold in that laugh if you're thinkin' that my act's a joke
Don't give a crap if you use your words until you choke
But I'm not gonna crumble, so don't hold on hope
I don't care what you say, and say it if you must
"You're done after one album, you can't knock out the rust"
I don't care if you b*tch, moan, holler, or fuss
Now, hold on to those opinions before they turn to dust
[Chorus]
Da da da, da-da da, dada dada, da dada-da, da da-da-da
Da da, na-da da-da, na-dada, da da da
La-da, la dada
Ba bada bababa, bada-bada ba-bada ba-ba, badadada
Dadadada da-da-da, dada dada, da dada, dadadadadada-dada-dada
[Outro]
Ayy, ah
Ayy, ah
Ayy, ah
Ayy, ah
