MASSA
Tyler The Creator Lyrics

Whatever your shit is, man, do it
Do whatever makes you happy, that's your luxury

The greatest thing that ever happened to me was Bein' damn near twenty and leavin' Los Angeles for the first time I got out my bubble, my eyes, just wide My passport is the most valuable
Leaving Los Angeles for the first time when I was 20 was the best thing that ever happened to me because it opened my eyes to the world. My passport is now my most valuable possession.

Master couldn't catch me, my legs long than a bitch Got too much self respect, I wash my hands 'fore I piss They try to talk, mmm, I'ma just go
I have too much self-respect to let anyone tell me what to do. I don't listen to the negative opinions of others, I simply move on with my life.

Yeah, when I turned twenty-three that's when puberty finally hit me My facial hair started growin', my clothes they ain't really fit me That caterpillar went to cocoon, do you get messy? I was shiftin', that's really why Cherry Bomb sounded so shifty
I went through a lot of changes at 23, my body and style changed. This is why my music sounded unstable during this time.

My taste started changin' from what it was when they met me But first impression is everything, ain't wanna let me go Always curious as a child and askin' questions, so I ain't give no fucks, if, and, buts if they accept me
My taste changed from when people first met me, but I didn't want to let them go. I was always curious as a child and asked a lot of questions. I don't care about people accepting me or not.

Yo, my boy Skateboard P gave me that speech in Italy session, um Thankfully, but I would do you detour perspective, um Thoughts change so rapid, turn to butterfly, Flower Boy happened All the bees buzz, be they buzz, scream, they love me
My friend Skateboard P gave me a motivational speech in Italy. My thoughts change quickly like a butterfly. When I released Flower Boy, my fans showed me a lot of love and support.

First time I private airline, accolade, song got airtime Went to my style, body, and feelings and fixed my hairline Calmed down in front of cameras, been there since tens of millions I'm not that little boy I was introduced to at 1-9
I experienced a lot of firsts like private air travel, music accolades, and getting airtime. I worked on my style, health, and emotional well-being. I calmed down in front of the camera after being in the limelight for a long time. I'm not the same person I was at 19.

Mom was in the shelter when Yonkers dropped, I don't say it (I don't say it) When I got her out, that's the moment I knew I made it (Yeah) I don't come from money, they deny it Since I don't mirror the stereotypical products of my environment
When my song Yonkers came out, my mom was in a shelter, but I didn't like to talk about it. When I was finally able to get her out, it was a moment I knew I had made it. I didn't come from a wealthy family, and people deny it because I don't fit the stereotypical product of my environment.

Eight figures in taxes, takin' that shit is stupid A flower gets his petal, they pluck it, but never use it It's still potholes in the schools, where does it go? It's still loopholes that I use, nobody knows
Paying a large amount of taxes is unnecessary. A flower gets its petal plucked and is never used. There are still issues like potholes in schools that we don't know how to address. There are loopholes that I take advantage of, but nobody really knows about them.

See, right there, you got one life to live How far you really wanna take it? Don't let 'em ever tell you nothin' you can't do
You only have one life, so how far do you really want to take it? Don't let anyone discourage you or tell you that you can't do something.

Yeah, I purchase more wheels when I feel like I'm third-wheelin' My favorite part of the double R is the bird ceilin' The panoramic view of the sky and the Sun beamin' That ray of light show that nobody is front-seatin'
I buy more cars when I feel like a third wheel. My favorite part of my Rolls Royce is the bird ceiling, which shows the panoramic view of the sky with the sun shining through. This shows that nobody is living in the spotlight.

I'm on the hunt for perfect but decent is what I been on I know she fell in love but commitment is not my end goal And all my friends that did got too comfy, a little chubby And that drive to make that money dried up when that nose is runny
I'm searching for perfection but I'm content with being decent. I'm not looking for commitment with anyone, even if someone falls in love with me. My friends who got comfortable with money got lazy when life got a bit tough.

We ain't gotta pay attention to the stuff that he battles Everyone I ever loved had to be loved in the shadows Tug-o-war with X and Y, felt like a custody battle Felt like the boat goin' down, it felt like I'm missin' a paddle
I don't need to pay attention to other people's issues. Everyone I've ever loved has had to hide in the shadows because of who they are. It feels like a tug-o-war with myself and my identity, and sometimes feels like I'm losing. It feels like I'm in a boat that's sinking with no way to paddle my way out.

Might buy that crib in Seattle, covered in grass, light, and gravel (yeah) It come with two boats and cattle, I'm livin' sweet, ain't you heard? This perspective from the beak of a bird Just hope I peek and take my peace
I might buy a house in Seattle that's covered in grass, has a lot of light and some gravel. It also comes with two boats and cattle. I'm living a sweet life, as you might have heard. This perspective is from a bird's point of view. I hope to find peace with myself.

You gon' see me and run, like thieves in the night I'm paranoid, I sleep with a gun The heat on my dungarees because they beefin' for fun I'm vegan for now, I'm conscious, know my hands meet when I bow
People run from me like I'm a thief in the night. I'm paranoid, so I sleep with a gun for protection. The heat is on my clothes because people are fighting for no reason. I'm currently vegan and am conscious of my actions. I bow my head when I'm grateful.

I'm grateful, you niggas hateful, you eat at me, you got a plateful You can't relate to these things I say to instrumentals Whether it's wealth talk or shit that's painful I paint full pictures of my perspective on these drum breaks Just for you to tell me, "It's not good," from your lunch break
I'm grateful, but the people who hate on me are eating away at me. They don't know what I'm talking about when I'm rapping about personal issues. Whether it's talking about wealth or painful situations, I paint a full picture of my perspective through music. But sometimes people dismiss my work and say it's not good, even when they're not taking it seriously.

Holiday season A vision you have to understand from perspective Check your resources, nigga
This is the holiday season. You need to have perspective to understand my vision. And don't forget to check your resources!
