Verse 1
Some got hits about the racks that they earn
Say theres Benjamins and Jacksons in their pocket to burn
But when they shoot the video producers pass around a bucket full of rented jewelry for them to rock and return
I know a straightedge rapper who acts like a sheep herder
A vegan on the mic whos screaming that meats murder
but when everybodys sleepin, he be creepin
slugging back the whiskey, hating himself and sneakin a cheese burger
Theres a pop idol at the top of the charts
and while her records being cut shes on the beach in St. Barts
while a session singer who didnt have the face to make it
signs a nondisclosure agreement and belts out her parts
Its hard, cause I got bars that are big uppin Woody Allen
But maybe hes a predator whos digging in his talons
theres a balance and often i dont know how to feel
In a fake and tainted world, seek the real
Chorus:
I cant change the past but a mans gotta man up
Its hard to believe. Sometimes I get the best of me
Im doing what I can but Im a man, not a damn chump
You can say it if you need, but Id rather let the ink bleed
Verse 2
We dismiss our heroes skeletons no matter how grim
my fans saying Id be honored to be injured by him
well fam, this branch is thin, but ill go out on a limb
to say she didnt love her ulna poking out of her skin
being pumped full of morphine and tied to machines
they cut off my jeans, I heard her in the ambulance scream
shes in school to do tattoos and mightve had nerve damage
So I couldve cost a girl a chance at her dream
Meanwhile he pops painkillers, until the dude is numb
knew I was a stupidass just not that Im a ruthless one
youth is easily influenced so should you be rooting for me
if I touch a thousand lives but on the way I ruin some
the rule of thumb is all publicitys your advantage
but human lives are not collateral damage
bandage the wound and then vanish, blank as the newest of canvases
when they zoom in the cameras give em the truth
Verse 3
Megachurch leaders sleeping with male hookers
mayors hitting crackpipes with their cookers
Each week a crooked politician gets caught
were not shocked when theyre cheaters, these days were shocked when theyre not
are they the person you thought? if theyre perfect and hot
often we blame the victim, scoffing they deserved what they got
actors sweep it under the rug and resume with the plot
but theyre amateurs and we can see the boom in the shot
If perception is reality then this could be a shocker
Ive done my share of fucked up things that didnt get on Gawker
lots of tiny indiscretions way beyond the public eye
that if you saw would out probably out me as a complicated guy
Mike says you gotta separate a person from their art
but if the arts about that person you cant pull em apart
so you better watch the choices that you makin now because
they arent something that matter, theyre the only thing that does
BRIDGE
everything theyve said conflicts with everything I do
but I must admit I did it so I guess it might be true")

Hook
We’re summoning spirits
We’re tearing the label
We’re clearer than vodka
Don’t bottle it up, don’t bottle it up
Chorus
Has anybody told you you’re a mean ass drunk?
Has anybody told you you’re a mean ass drunk?
Has anybody told you you’re a mean ass drunk?
Oh no
Oh shit
Oh no
Oh shit
Verse 1
You say it’s your thing to be honest
Like it’s kind of this token of pride
Well to be honest, you’re kind of a goddess
But being with you kind of kills me inside
You want me to explain it?
We’ll, it’s sorta of this look in your eye
Like you’re cooking an egg on the hood of a car cause you looked at it hard
But my heart is the egg and you’re watching it fry
Im not gonna cry. I’m not gonna lie, I am gonna cry (but not right here!)
Gimme like a minute lemme get up in my feelings while I pop my beer
Shit is getting muddy and I’m seeking out a buddy
at the bottom of the bottle but it’s not quite clear
What you expect from me
When you’re disrespecting me
Chorus
Verse 2
Wanna treat me like a dog on a leash?
That’s your prerogative, sheesh
But if she wanna see what we got
when the saga repeats: nada, capish?
I’m not a complete wretch
I fetch, I sit at bit
but I’m not gonna stay
And if you wanna see me, you can see my feets
and my cute little cheeks when I’m walking away
You can see me sitting on the dock of the bay
You can see me licking on my crotch like a stray
But if you gotta see me like a prop in play
Gotta say, I’ll be skipping what you got for today
And maybe you’ll be thinking that I’m hot in the head
or I’m sick and picking and at my chicken pox in the bed
You can think what you like
I think I’ll take a hike
Bridge
Oh no, oh shit, oh no, oh shit
Its just one small complaint
I know I am no saint
Oh no, oh shit, oh no, oh shit
I think were old enough to know what we aint")
