Burnt Pride is a crazy thing | |
But now, what does it take to make you feel me concrete? | |
I ain't your maitre'd, I ain't on pain relief | |
This ain't make believe, I ain't on no ankle leash | |
I tried speaking in a rational manner | |
Tried to get my point across using regular me(ans) | |
I even patterned my delivery | |
Similarly after something you had said | |
So that you would not interpret me differently, but | |
My head's on a tree swing | |
Your debt's still lingering | |
While you erect gates with codes really nobody knows | |
I ask, "Why's it always closed?" | |
I'm told it's my approach | |
Well let's suppose | |
Just for the sole sake of argument that | |
Despite the spite and all the ill will you're harboring | |
That me, Lyrics Born, all this power that I'm harnessing | |
That I didn't come in here to no conquering | |
That I came in here to do a little bargaining | |
Grease key people do some apple polishing | |
Maybe hail a cab for my local congressman | |
So he can hook me with the landlord in parliament | |
Then I'll set up a booth, hand-pick my operatives | |
Train 'em up, send my squad of garbagemen | |
To spread the good will, all in the environment | |
And all the false doctrine and all the carcinogens, but now | |
I gotta be wise 'bout who I'm targeting | |
The key is make the young folks offerings | |
So that they don't become adults that are demonstrative | |
Or else my chances of retirement go spiraling | |
So then I work my way into their subconsciousness | |
I tell them always use caution, now, cautiousness, because | |
Are you absolutely positive that you can make it without us and be prosperous? | |
You need to look at me and my accomplishments | |
Hey, I got an idea, let's start a partnership! | |
It'll be just like livin' in a Harlequin | |
And we'll feed our pond fishies ostriches | |
We'll feed the starved kiddies self-doubt lozenges | |
Just peeling layer after layer off their confidence | |
Until it's one planet us homogenous | |
Versus one gumball you optimists!! | |
Burn pride!! Burn pride!! | |
Burn pride!! Burn Pride!! | |
Burnt Pride is a crazy thing | |

I ain't your maitre'd, I ain't on pain relief | |
This ain't make believe, I ain't on no ankle leash | |
I tried speaking in a rational manner | |
Tried to get my point across using conventional means | |
I even patterned my delivery similarly after something you had said | |
So that you would not interpret me differently, but- | |
My head's on a tree swing | |
Your debt's still lingering | |
While you erect gates with codes really nobody knows | |
I ask, "Why's it always closed?" | |
I'm told it's my approach | |
Okay, what's appropriate your royal holiness? | |
Shall I fan you with foliage in front of an audience? | |
Hi-five Napoleon? | |
Lo-five a Scorpion? | |
Then and only then would there ever be an opening | |
Well, that's just your big, wet blanket of power | |
You weight us down with double-talk until we think we're insane | |
But if you're trying to save your pride | |
You're trying to save your pride | |
As far as I'm concerned that shit is going down in flames | |
With your piddly-ass riddles | |
You think I ain't mentally apt | |
I see you slither 'round my ankle like I ain't gonna react | |
No more me nibblin' on a bridle while you're kickin' my abs | |
No more "everything's Ore-Ida" when I can't even stand | |
No more fiddling with the maps | |
No more belittling the past | |
No more nonsense when my questions is asked | |
No more concessions for an ego so fragile | |
Any self-expression chips away at your castle | |
Your pride's your damsel, you built your barricade | |
I was so careful | |
I danced around your insecurities | |
On your schedule | |
Ignored all your absurdities | |
But all the people | |
You parody with that dogshit your nurturing | |
Then you have the nerve to take certain shit personally | |
I didn't even speak a handful and I encroached on your territory | |
You need therapy there mister Pharisee | |
Seriously, 'cause apparently your circuitry's terribly damaged | |
How 'bout a nice hot kerosene bath | |
I'll come back | |
I'll serenade you with flaming arrows oh serpentine | |
Your pride needs refurbishing | |
I'll extend you that courtesy like- | |
"Hi, this is Lyrics Born servicing!" | |
Burnt Pride!! Burnt Pride!! |
