I'm The One
JL B. Hood Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been better, I'm in bed and
I'm embedded, man, I have lived better
I've seen better days, man we all have
Twenty twenty's nothing but an unshaved ballbag
It's not all bad, sorted out my sock drawer
Every single pair of them, folded them up proper
Then I watched some Predator, get him to the chopper
Better stay in bed or get arrested by a copper
Put some Netflix on
Get a beverage dawg, be the best you can be
I applied for a rescue dog
But if I get you dog, you're rescuing me
Meanwhile I'mma study and get fit
I've never had time for that
But the way I'm coming out's how I went in
And that is dumb and fat, so let's go

I'm good, I'm good, I'm pretty good
Thanks for asking, that's mighty thoughtful
I'm good, I'm good, but not great
How are you? 'Cause I'm kinda awful
I'm good, I'm good, I'm pretty good
Thanks for asking, that's mighty thoughtful
I'm good, I'm good, but not great
How are you? 'Cause I'm kinda awful

Missing the drugs, son? Missing your dealer?
Missing a loved one? Listen, I feel ya
We're all missing someone, I'm missing my Mum, I'm
Missing your mum too, I'm just having fun, son
Waiting on prescriptions of Valium
Waiting on a shipment of Ambien
Waiting on 'My Corona' from Weird Al
If I'm stuck at home, might as well grow my beard out
Like Abe Lincoln, this so grueling
It's funny, I can't get out of this funk
Day drinking, home schooling
Mummy, I think that my math teachers drunk
I'm not, but the situation's so sober
I'm so-so, have my ups and downs like a vocoder
Have the cov-odor, and by the time we're over
The corona have a combover
Was a road dog, now I'm a homebody
And I have no dog, feel like nobody
So, if you know of someone with a rescue
Let me know 'cause I need a pet just to get through

I'm good, I'm good, I'm pretty good
Thanks for asking, that's mighty thoughtful
I'm good, I'm good, but not great
How are you? 'Cause I'm kinda awful
I'm good, I'm good, I'm pretty good
Thanks for asking, that's mighty thoughtful
I'm good, I'm good, but not great
How are you? 'Cause I'm kinda awful

I pulled up, all dressed in
A mask and gloves but it's not a sex thing
Well I guess it's a bit of a sex thing?
On Pornhub "Pandemic" is trending
This really isn't normal, feeling pretty mortal
Thought all my feelings and problems were awful
Now I nearly chortle, thinking about them
Drowning in worry, I really need a snorkel
I'mma still stay home though

I'm good, I'm good, I'm pretty good
Thanks for asking, that's mighty thoughtful
I'm good, I'm good, but not great
How are you? 'Cause I'm kinda awful
I'm good, I'm good, I'm pretty good
Thanks for asking, that's mighty thoughtful
I'm good, I'm good, but not great
How are you? 'Cause I'm kinda awful

I'm good, I'm good, I'm pretty good
Thanks for asking, that's mighty thoughtful
I'm good, I'm good, but not great
How are you? 'Cause I'm kinda awful
I'm good, I'm good, I'm pretty good
Thanks for asking, that's mighty thoughtful
I'm good, I'm good, but not great
How are you? 'Cause I'm kinda awful





I'm good, I'm good, I'm pretty good
