LYRICS:
I started off making crazy videos in my basement
that hasnt changed yet, aint it
funny how you come to know so many different things
and how much love and affection one incident brings
i'm starting to get
sick of these things
like sipping a drink
and getting snickered at because it isnt liquor, it's sunny D
so come get some of these
i'm like a buzzing bee
making rappers want to leave, afraid that I will come to sting

Get all your boys to
gather round in a cloister
I'll hoist the oysters
off the port and stick a fork in your "pointers"
I’m gon al-fornocate your joints if I don't make your ointment moister
and you'll coronate mat4yo's face as non-supportive torture

see,
Digiorno makes your form of taste, they call mine a delivery
a sort of glaze you paint with paste not faked and sold exquisitely
I'm much more different, rhythmically
I'm vicious towards your mimicry
of listing things said similarly
and thinking its a simile

with the way you draw connections I would say your brain's an etch-a-sketch
At best, you just can't make it happen
like you were Gretchen and "fetch"
Check it
The best of all is when I fall I'm like basketball
And while I'm standing tall you're in the vestibule of vegetables

Aw

I Catch you staring at me on a box of cereal
here, my girl has Mat, and I'm hazardous material
so don't think the coincidence is any less etherial
than any of the men in ebeneezer's christmas miracle

my atmosphere is spherical in its structure
and these weirdos are peering in as if they could pop my bubble
if they’re starting trouble but they wanna say they’re not stubborn
they can kiss my ass-umption that they're butthurt
cause it is a positive proportioned proposition and it's probable
that possibly their possy is preposterously popular
for pessimism perservering in their population
I'm just paying all my problems away, no compensation

I’m saying as anger manifests
people exaggerate that they’re as oppressed
obsessed with unrest and a state of protest
as a facet to a lack of stress or acid indigestion
someone fasten so called strategists
back into their bassinets!


I aint got time for this, in line for this since '96
I find that it's a kind of sitch that takes a winding time to fix
Lets take a time machine back to 1993,
not even conceived and still the best rapper alive was me
Lets hit 2003
where I have found the me
that's sound asleep
and dreaming of when fun will come around for me
lets hit 2010
where I am found again
i'm bound to spend the next four years
in town without a friend
was twenty fourteen
something that was foreseen?
fortunately found my metaphorical morphine
me and my gorgeous anthropomorphic queen
tore the scene by the seems and performed it into smithereens

it’s been a long way coming
found a lot of wrong ways to nothing
but my heart stays pumping
if this song says something
it’s that action can actually
happen when passions are added to rapping

if you liked this, be honest and leave a comment
and
if you didn’t like it, leave a comment and be honest
‘cause before we break it, we as a team must form a mold
‘cause I don’t do this 4 me
I do it 4 yo
