Public Figure (Ordinary Guy)

[Intro]
Come on, ooh
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Verse 1]
Throughout the years, I have danced across a thousand stages
In my quest to find a way of life
But no one would told me that this world was filled with so much evil
Loneliness and pain from people tryna bring you down

[Pre-Chorus]
(But that's the life that) I live in, of no consent (Life)
But it's not too bad (Might not be so bad at all)
But it can't ever bring me down (Bring me down)
'Cause this I know (It comes with the territory)

[Chorus]
I'm just an ordinary guy (Just an ordinary guy)
Baby, I'm living in the public eye (Living in the public eye)
I'm just an ordinary guy (Just an ordinary guy)
It's just I'm living in the public eye (Living in the public eye)

[Verse 2]
For so long, I have battled through the circumstances
But I guess some never realize
You can't believe everything you read and see on TV
It took me some time but now I finally figured out

[Pre-Chorus]
(That's just the life that) I live in, of no consent (Life)
Though it's not too bad (Might not be so bad at all)
But it can't ever bring me down (It can't bring me down)
'Cause this I know (It comes with the territory)

[Chorus]
I'm just an ordinary guy (Just an ordinary guy)
It's just that I'm living in the public eye (Living in the public eye)
I'm just an ordinary guy (Just an ordinary guy)
It's just that I'm living, yeah (Living in the public, living in the public eye)
Yeah, yeah
(Just an ordinary) Uh (Just an ordinary guy) It can't bring me down
(Living in the public, living in the public eye) They don't even know me
(Why can't people see) (Just an ordinary, just an ordinary guy)
(Sometimes it's hard to be a public figure)
(Living in the public, living in the public eye)

[Bridge]
Uh, yo, yo, yo, yo, it's about that time
Rizzo in effect, Epic, Wolf
Yo, we gonna drop some of the funky stuff
There's been a lot of people out there doubting the power of NE
Especially RT
So since it's last but not least, I wanna set some rumors straight

[Verse 3]
For those of you that think that I'm slippin' and dippin' and trippin'
Skippin' and sippin', spliffin' and sniffin', riffin'
Who do you think I am, some one-season amateur?
But Rizzo speaks so wise enough to be your manager
Or your accountant, your lawyer, producer
And when you wanna get loose, no one can get you looser
I'm not upset about nothin', it's time to get deeper
Into your mind as I find your flow's peak
Another phrase spoken in silence as I look you down
And I can tell I'm well-heard the moment you found
My girl is right beside as I walk in the place
That's all, no entourage, I'll be straight
You don't believe me? That's your problem, tough guys move smooth
Get out my face, I got nothin' to prove
And talk about your problems, you want me to, I'll solve 'em
You need your boys, don't call them mine, I won't involve 'em
'Cause I ain't goin' out like a sucker or an amateur
Though my appearance is mellow, I still damage your
Career, your ego, your lifelong securities
Eliminate the suckers and all of their impurities
The moment you're born, you had the wisdom to step
If you know the end before you begin then tighten your belt
'Cause if you wanna move to a higher position
Don't start to think you know it all, stay on a mission

[Outro]
(Just an ordinary) Oh (Just an ordinary guy) Just a public figure
(Living in the public) That's all I am (Living in the public eye)
(Just an ordinary) Oh (Just an ordinary guy) That's all I am
(Living in the public) Oh yeah (Living in the public eye) It gets so tired
(Why can't people see) (Just an ordinary) I just can't take this stuff no more
(Sometimes it's hard to be a public figure)
(Just an ordinary guy) I'm tired
(Living in the public) Yes, I am (Living in the public eye)
'Cause I'm living in the public eye
(Why can't people see)
(Just an ordinary) It gets so hard, so hard, so hard (Just an ordinary guy)
(Sometimes it's hard to be a public figure)
(Living in the public) 'Cause I'm living, living in the public eye
(Why can't people see) Live my life, live my life, baby
(Sometimes it's hard to be a public figure)
That's just all, all that I wanna do
(Why can't people see) Just an ordinary guy
(Sometimes it's hard to be a public figure)
It's just that I'm living, living ⁠— tell me why can't they see I'm
Just an ordinary guy
(Why can't people see sometimes it's hard to be a public figure)
I'm living in the public eye
I'm just an ordinary guy
(Why can't people see sometimes it's hard to be a public figure)
