Did You Turn The Lights Off?

Did you turn the lights off? 
Did you forget it again? 
Did you turn the lights off? 
Should I turn it off myself? 

Every morning you wake up 
You forget to turn the lights off 
Every morning when I can, 
I can do it if you need my help 

Did you turn the lights off? 
Did you leave an open door? 
I can help you find your phone 
I can also leave you alone 

Every morning you wake up 
You forget to turn the lights off 
Every morning when I can, 
I can do it if you need my help 

Missed to put your glasses on? 
Dishes pilin' up again? 
Did you turn the lights off? 
Should I turn it off… 

I got this thingamajiggy, yo yeah that's me 
Can't sit still, can't focus, can't remember, I can't be 
Like the other kids who do their work with ease 
I'm always restless, distracted, and feeling the squeeze 
 Sometimes I feel like I don't fit in 
Like I'm always out of sync, like I'm always on the brink 
Of losing control, of messing up, of letting people down 
But then I remember that I'm not alone, that I'm not a clown 
I know it's hard to live with this thingamajiggy 
It's a challenge every day, it's a struggle to stay ... on track 
But I also know that it's a gift, that it's a part of me 
That makes me unique, that makes me shine, that makes me rap, you see? 
Some people think that this thing is a curse 
That it's a disorder, that it is something worse 
Than being normal, than being average, than being plain 
But I don't listen to them, don't let them get in my brain 
Some people try to label, putting me in a box 
To say that I'm lazy & stupid, that I'm a paradox 
Of success and failure, of potential and waste 
But I don't let them do that, I don't let them erase 
But I don't let it stop me, I don't let it define me 
I got skills and talents that you can't deny me 
I'm creative, energetic, I'm a star in the making 
I got this thingamajiggy but I'm not faking
