Lead single from upcoming album 'Champion of the Losers'
lyrics
Ryland Rose - Mutombo (Official Lyrics)
Chorus:
I’m so tired of being humble
I swear lately I been staying out of trouble
But some people always want that Barney Rubble
That’s when you gotta, wave that finger like Mutombo
Verse 1:
I used to wanna be THE man for a second
Nowadays I just wanna be A man
Please understand there’s a difference
That’s means that
I ain’t on the gram
Doing everything I can
Just to get a couple mentions
Look I’m just saying
These days shit is so lame
When I see that shit happen
I could go days with no interaction
Used to want a house in the Hollywood hills
No I want a house on a hill
One with a big green field
Where I Netflix and chill
But really Netflix and chill
Guess I'd rather be with my dog and leave my phone at home on the bedroom floor now
When its all said and done
Just stream my songs when I'm gone
And delete my profile
(But I can’t?)
Chorus:
I’m so tired of being humble
I swear lately I been staying out of trouble
But some people always want that Barney Rubble
That’s when you gotta, wave that finger like Mutombo
Call it, what you, want, what’s that? Facts?
Put that on god, emoji praying hands
Work too hard to be humble, now, no cap
Why you always in my space?
Wave that finger in their face, Mutombo
Verse 2:
Everybody’s so obsessed with fame now
Man that shit is so lame
Everybody’s down, for comparing themselves, when they’re out, but the truth is all of it’s fake
How did we become so vein, how did we just lose our place?
We just got so caught up in the TMZ’s, and the MTV’s, while Barrier Reef just fades?
Maybe we can make some change? Maybe we can switch things up?
I ain’t got time to explain and the truth is none of us do
But I hope that this might prompt you to start
To maybe not pose for attention
And maybe just post with intention
And if you comment on my song all defensive
Then I guess theres something I gotta mention
Chorus:
I’m so tired of being humble
I swear lately I been staying out of trouble
But some people always want that Barney Rubble
That’s when you gotta, wave that finger like Mutombo
Call it, what you, want, what’s that? Facts?
Put that on god, emoji praying hands
Work too hard to be humble, now, no cap
Why you always in my space?
Wave that finger in their face, Mutombo
