[Intro - Clean, melancholic electric guitar riff loops. Cold wind sound effect] (Spoken, heavy autotune) Yeah. Woah. They always ask me where I’m from. Like they don’t already know the stories. (Beat drops hard - Heavy 808s and rattling hi-hats) Let’s go. [Verse 1 - Melodic Sung-Rap Flow] Cape Cod cold, but the wrist on freeze (Ice) Took the high-speed ferry just to get the keys (Skrrt) I’m way out east where the fog rolls thick But I still move fast, yeah I move too quick. They heard the poems, they heard the rhymes (Yeah) About a guy like me from a different time They wanna know what I’m packing, what I’m holding down I tell 'em, "Baby, I’m the king of this little town." (It’s just the aura, baby). [Pre-Chorus - Beat pulls back, vocals get more emotive/strained] It ain't about the size of the boat in the water It’s the motion of the ocean, yeah that’s what I taught her But the rumors getting crazy, yeah the rumors getting loud When I step off the dock, I draw a crowd. [Chorus - Anthemic, soaring melody, big layered vocals] Yeah, you heard about the Man from Nantucket (Yeah!) Got a bucket list of models and I stuck it (Woah!) They say the legend is long, they say the legend is true I got that mythical energy when I’m coming through. Yeah, I’m that guy that you read about in school I break the limerick, baby, I break the rules I’m the Man from Nantucket. [Verse 2 -, faster flow, more confident] Look. Shorty said she heard that I was gifted (Uh-huh) Said my reputation is corrupted and twisted She wanna verify the data, wanna check the specs She ain't interested in my cash or my checks. She wants to know if the stories match up to the man (Do they?) Baby, I got the whole island eating out of my hand. It’s a heavy burden walking ‘round with this name But I wouldn't trade the myth, nah, I wouldn't trade the fame. (Yeah, yeah). [Bridge - Music drops out to just the guitar loop, building tension] (Strained singing) It’s just a tall tale... Or maybe it’s real life... They lookin' at me like I’m something they can’t explain. (Drums build up rapidly) LIKE I’M SOMETHING THEY CAN’T EXPLAIN! [Chorus - Maximum Volume, everything hits harder] Yeah, you heard about the Man from Nantucket (Let's Go!) Got a bucket list of models and I stuck it (Yeah!) They say the legend is long, they say the legend is true I got that mythical energy when I’m coming through. Yeah, I’m that guy that you read about in school I break the limerick, baby, I break the rules I’m the Man from Nantucket. [Outro - Guitar loop fading, ad-libs echoing] (Woah, yeah) The myth is real. (Nantucket) Don't believe everything you read in a bathroom stall, baby. (Yeah, yeah). [End]
