6. Whoa is Me
Whoa is me
I'm so whoa
See me decked out from my
head to my toe
Whoa is me
I'm so whoa
Everywhere I go I'm a one man
show
7. I feel like a Hollywood
star
Hand full of pills, all
black car
Rock guitar and 10
shots of whiskey
Got a chain on my neck
and a massive hickey
You say you're a big
deal, big deal
I've been a big deal
ever since big wheels
8. Shits real, I feel
Like a supermodel who just
skipped a meal
I like to party and spend my
dough
And when I go to rehab I'm
putting on a show
And it's so spectacular
whenever I rap to you
I'm re-enacting my feelings to
capture
the moment like a Nikon, and
when the mic’s on,
I'm a star baby, I'm your icon
I put on the light, I shine, I glow
Whoa is me, I'm so whoa
9. Say whoa (whoa)
The more I feed it (whoa)
The more I need it (whoa)
You say whoa
Whoa is me
I'm so whoa
The more I feed it (whoa)
The more I need it (whoa)
You say whoa
Whoa is me
I'm so whoa
10. I'm surrounded by
people, I'm cool
Everyone's so see-
through, not you
I know you think I
don't hustle, I do
Used to get up for
the bus
Now I fly to, drive by
you,
I'll buy you out
right, and I'll bite
your style
11. I try to act like a child
Born yesterday but born to be
wild
I cheated to get what I got
Stepped all over yourself for my
spot
I bet you I'm winning
I bet that you're not
I bet you don't sin
And I bet you get caught
You just leave the talking to me
I'm dope and I'm hot on my feet
I'm the S to the H, I to the T
What you don't know
You just gotta believe
12. Say whoa (whoa)
The more I feed it (whoa)
The more I need it (whoa)
You say whoa
Whoa is me
I'm so whoa
The more I feed it (whoa)
The more I need it (whoa)
You say whoa
Whoa is me
I'm so whoa
13. It's quiet,
Right before the storm
I'm eyeing
Everyone I see,
I'm silent
So damn fly
I'm a pilot
No I'm a giant
Hope that you're ready
when I set off the riot
See my band,
See my clothes
Be my fan
See my show
See my plan is to be so dope
That you like me and me like
whoa
14. Say whoa (whoa)
The more I feed it (whoa)
The more I need it (whoa)

15. PRAYER FOR SOCIAL
JUSTICE
Lord Jesus, Carpenter and King, supreme Sovereign of all men, look with tender
mercy upon the multitudes of our day who bear the indignities of injustice
everywhere. Raise up leaders in every land dedicated to Your standards of
order, equity, and justice. Grant unto us, Lord Jesus, the grace to be worthy
members of Your Mystical Body, laboring unceasingly to fulfill our vocation in the
social apostolate of Your Church. Sharpen our intellects to pierce the pettiness of
prejudice; to perceive the beauty of true human brotherhood. Guide our minds to
a meaningful understanding of the problems of the poor, of the oppressed, of the
unemployed, of all in need of assistance anywhere. Guide our hearts against the
subtle lure of earthly things and undue regard for those who possess them. May
we hunger and thirst after justice always.
Amen
16. We Conclude with the Sign of Our
Faith
In the name of the father,
Of the Son,
And of the Holy Spirit,
Amen
