LYRICS
Chorus
Whoa whoa whoa, what do you take us for? (x2)
Verse 1
I'm a phenomenon. And I gotta bring pain in the Octagon
When I wanna spit game at a soccermom I get it quicker than the left lane on the Autobahn;
Fast— like Ramadan— and I battle young Padawans all the damn day
I'm getting nekked and I'm hopping on a wrecking ball so hot I got that mothafucka a la flambé
I go to Miley's house. I see that Miley's home.
I play Miley's ribcage with my dick like it's a Xylie-phone
Yes, that was highly fucked up but my skills are highly honed
And if I was highly hyphy I might be more widely known
C'est la vie. Better pay my fee
They kick it in Seattle in a Patagonia jacket, they get it in the Bay in a plain white tee
Hey mami! You a PYT!
Wanna see me speak? Then I go (go) go (go) go (go)!
Every time I get a beat I know I gotta beat it up, I bend it then I break it then I chop it and I eat it up,
And PETA would never approve of the way I've been treating the music, I bleed it, I bruise it, I kick it to the curb and then I'm sipping on my bourbon I be freakin it doing it, keeping it moving
I'm picking apart the muscle when I'm thinking about the hustle but I'm nice. Nice!
Chorus
Verse 2
I'll jump the freeway median, I'm savage
Cause my mode is that I'm meaner than the average
Like my teacher taught me when I heard the crowd applaud
I thought I was an atheist until I realized I'm a God
It could hurt a bit when I murder shit
in a moment I'll be tying off a tourniquet
When I burn em and I hit em in the sternum, I don't even gotta enter but I'm gonna win the tournament
That's what I'm all about. Do what I gotta do and never gonna pout
And I hope that it woulda been the end of it and i'm out, but they never tend to gimme the benefit of the doubt
Ever since I was a little I kid I know that I've been looking for the hot hot spotlight
And if you really wonder what I think about the competition, they were not not not tight
I been reading my scripture. Every photobomber wanna be in my picture
And ya betta bet i'm living every single day like it's the mothafuckin Catalina Wine Mixer
Bada bing bada boom, when I walk in I'm the king of the room
And I get it locked in like a king in a tomb, when I spit a toxin and they cough on the fumes
Cause I'm back in the nick of time and attacking a fickle mind I'm a jackal I'll rip his hide I'ma tackle him, pick a fight, I be Dracula set to bite in the black of the bitter night and I'm out. Poof.

Lyrics:
Its hard to be living
you gotta play the cards you were given
you think its simple but it goddamn isnt
its tougher now than breaking out of Shawshank prison
and as youre hitting your prime
people say you been committing a crime
But I wont quit till im home, Ill chip the limestone a bit at a time
Wait! Im a pale ass pale
middle-class straight white male
I wont have an alibi the day I fail
cause I ever went to jail mom would pay my bail
in a [boom boom] heartbeat
mom and dad have given me a lot more than a pat on the back and I gotta thank em for loving me from moment i was strapped in a Volvo carseat
when I needed a peptalk
I couldnt remember to wreck shop
writers block, staring at my laptop desktop
or sleeping in my rental in a turnpike rest stop
shit in storage, living from a suitcase
thinking this is how a silver spoon tastes?
cause you can make a dream possible
but itll never be easy, no matter what you chase
if you wanna poke fun then do so
Ill do it for you, its no crime, Im
like if the dude from Juno grew a Jewfro and liked to rhyme
so tell me that im not a rapper
tell Rudolph he cant pull sleighs
tell Pluto its not a planet
and hell probably keep spinning in the same old way
on and every, every day
Right around the sun, wanna feel the rays
you do it cause you love it like nothing else in the universe and fuck it, its embedded in your DNA Watsky- Fireworks [Cardboard Castles]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Xwo4Hd_RsQA/mqdefault.jpg)
