lyrics

It’s Taylor bitch, modern ecoterrorist
Growing weed and day drinking, boys in the trailer shit
My shrink told me to stop so I shot my therapist
I shot the sheriff, bitch, proud to be American
Told the queen fore she died to come and take the tarriff bitch
I’m speaking via ESP like a pair of twins
Won’t even mention Taylor Swift, I’m always on some era shit
Defending evolution, I’m on my Clarence Darrow shit
Like Denzel in Training Day I’ll put you in some scary shit
I’m wise like the ent that took Pip and Merry in
Abe lobbed me a baby grenade, I’m bout to tear the pin
Going door to door, yeah I’m not christmas caroling
I’m wearing the clothes that I’m gonna get buried in
The game of life is pay to win, or you could always marry in
You could judge others but still commit that very sin
A little pretentious, then I’m like Jim Carrey’s twin
Or Aphex Twin, yeah, hit em with my scary grin
Stole that rhyme from Tyler The Creator, man
Less productive than the Beatles on heroin
I’m leaving the band, yeah I think I’m George Harrison
My outlook and demeanor have been classified as derelict
Sometimes it gets to be too much like Sarah Lynn
Like geopolitics, the situation’s perilous
Cutting off abusers, no more Marilyn
You’re all just users, I’m the master program
Put it in halftime, Carti turn it to a slow jam
Yeah we got the sticky icky like toe jam
Faded off a piece made of solid topaz
Might live in Vermont, be a modern nomad
Ask me to hold the door and I’ll say of course, ma’am
Consider Marvin Magic if you’re talking GOAT bands
Shredding on the ax like I’m Jacob Olson
Or the legend DB, blow up like MOAB
Like line cooks on break, yeah I need a smoke bad
Skipping leg day, I’ve been working my core bad
The music’s independent, the payscale’s corporate
Wrote this off an addy and a diet coke can
Visting Twin Peaks then I’ll hit Spokane
I could get dirty, not really a soap fan
I’m Swayze in Ghost, yeah she’s gotta use both hands
Left and came back, yeah I’m Shinji in some Eva shit
Died and came back, yeah I’m on some Jack Sparrow shit
With a pretty girl, yeah I might be on some Clairo shit
I can tell your fortune, I might be on some tarot shit
They told me it’s embarrassing like I would care a bit
They couldn’t do the keynote till I ran the cabling
Knocked it out the park, yeah Ash would be amazed at him
Lessons like Aesop, the new shit is fabling
Taking up your time, don’t mean to be arrogant
I’m weaving a tapestry so you can call me Carole King
We need slave revolt, yeah the type could do the pharoahs in
Amateur birder, blue jay or peregrine
I’ll NEVER EVER do it but support all vegetarians
Linguistics is a calling, yeah don’t need degrees to carry this
They call me sacreligious, I’m surrounded by seraphim
Known as Burger Wizard cause my class is always cleric shit
Like Oz in Buffy, in a band and on some werwolf shit
I drink a little Fireball and chase it with some kerosene
And all the other people at the funeral just stared at him
Unpacking my cosmology, the moon is rather major in
Slow and steady, I’m learning from the terrapin
Roughouse on facebook if you need to pack the locals in
The vocals might get sloppy cause I’m impaired again
Now we’re getting down to the part where the marrow is
Like a Vigo flick, honeymooning on a narrow ship
Split identity like the situation Perry’s in
Me and Cart the brothers Grimm, make the tales with fairies in
They branded me a heretic, said I’d have to pay for this
But I’m too busy cherishing and listening to the caged bird sing
Sat down at the bar and I aksed for the hair of bitch
Don’t talk to me bout heritage, I don’t care if you’re aryan
Turn up the volume like the beat has got some keratin
Rhymes never thinning, unlike the hair on him
They’re called the fairer sex cause the sex is always fair to him
Want me for a feature, I say no like Caroline
Carti’s on arrangements like Robert Lopez
I’m just trying to write the level quality Chlo did
Feeling litigous, might sue you like Joseph
Moving to the midwest mostly for the low rent
This world’ll have peace if I have to force it
I don’t like conflict, never been a sports fan
Tripping balls with the folks off Coldham
Accepted into college then that shit closed man
Best wishes to my ex yeah as if she don’t know man
Wasn’t for my mother, then I’d be a poor man
The heart or the bank, the answer’s both man
Keep self-sabotaging, I’m like Tone man
Montana or Soprano, doesn’t make a difference
Eamon mixed up the shit that I’m sipping
Got another shoutout for Willow, my kitten
Always smoking up for Mayor Doug Trytten
Think of him and Neil, I’m becoming an old man
Next girl I see, I’m gonna elope and
Take a chartered jet to the Nepalese snowcaps
All terrain drive, yeah I got a bespoke Ram
Expecting commitment? I’m a child of divorce man
Main character syndrome, I’m the one who’s chosen
So fake smart, failed the test like Turing
This shit’ll get studied like the shroud of turin
Shoutout to everybody I forgot to mention
Except for you, yeah that was my intention
I don’t make art bitch, I make joke rap
Rhyming and shit, yeah it’s so poetic
Finish each other’s sandwiches like Frozen
The verse is never ending like how Dylan’s touring
Can’t believe I dropped before Frank Ocean
This November, I’m voting by bullet
Bugs Bunny crossdressing, we all would put the carrot in
Living in the cold, yeah I’m from the north fam
Sly Stone, yeah thank you for talking
Showed up to the deposition in a leather tunic
This shit is better than the state of the union
I’ll translate this verse into Portuguese and Klingon
I don’t fuck with google, yeah I might just turn Bing on
Maybe now Carter should give me some shit to sing on
Just had to get some stuff off my chest like King Kong
