Allow me to introduce myself
My name is O to the W-E-N
Yo and the trouble begins
"Who's he, man?"
You don't know what you seeing?
Half gentleman, half demon
And I'm teeming and dealing with these restless questions
Bout what it means to be a human being
Uh
Y'all can't step to me. Try
And you'll end up finding that my
Lyricism is empirically better than yours
And of my lyrical dexterity I'm veritably sure
I'm a straight, white playwright
Others play at night
While I stay up late and write
You can rarely get me to stay quiet
Or admit that I ain't right
And one day I may take flight
Through that daylight to greater heights
I remain bright and my aim's tight
On the subway all the way down to Alewife
And I can't quite hide the flames bright
That the sight of my bae may ignite
And I'm half-British, y'all mad skittish
On the attack vicious with this rap shit, it's
OE, the one and only
Been writing slowly and steadily since '03
But I wouldn't've have believed you if you told me
Back then that I'd be flowing on this dope beat
Comin from CT with this EP
Not throwing away my shot
And by the end man, pun intended
They gon be owing (Owen) me a lot
Yeah
