They say, "B.O.B why not put the guitar down and rap?"
It's easier to sing than put my soul on a track
Cause the media has made a competition out of rap
So constantly they comparin' me to 3 Stacks (Andre 3000)
I try to grow freely but they hold me to my past
Sayin' the music that I'm makin' doesn't appeal to the mass
Hmm
What am I to do about that?
When the syndicated radio is always playin' trash
Every single song is the same old track
About Patron, Patron, Patron and swag, swag, swag
Patron and swag and the whole hood is singin'
"Patron and swag"
And everybody wonder why the kids so bad
Cause they only thing they know is Patron and SWAG!
