Fuck your run way model lyrics all about being cute/ I never do this to look good/ I do this for those who just can't fit in, but still comfortable in their shoes/ been spit out and chewed/ die on a mic in a booth/rhyme tight enough to be a noose/ strangle lies with the truth/ do it live whether I hear cheers or booooos
