|
I wear my scars like the rings on a pimp |
|
I live life like the captain of a sinking ship |
|
The one thing that i can guarantee |
|
I'm like a stepping razor, i suggest you stay fair with me |
|
Been payin dues for a decade plus, |
|
Before that i was just another face on the bus |
|
Tappin my foot, to the beat on the radio |
|
Dreamin 'bout the mic and the money and the ladies |
|
Oh mom, i promise im gonna be large |
|
Someday im gonna stop tryin to borrow your car |
|
Gonna go far, with charisma and skill |
|
Until they put my face on a million dollar bill |
|
Atmosphere, its just a ten letter word |
|
Discretion is the name of my cement-feathered bird |
|
And if you didnt hear, f**k whatevers heard |
|
I think you got the sickness i suggest you get it cured |
|
Caught up in the mix, of a bottle full of fix |
|
Im gonna hobble down the street 'til i reach knob creek |
|
Its not that i dont like you, i just dont wanna speak |
|
You f**kin freak |
|
Now keep your days out my week |
|
The world keeps a balance, through mathematics |
|
Defined by whatever youve added and subtracted |
|
Im pushin on the hammer, to trigger the brain |
|
Embrace how i live it, god loves ugly |
|
[chorus] |
|
God loves ugly... |
|
Once upon a time in minneapolis, yo |
|
I damn near had to steal the show |
|
I stepped on the stage, who is it? |
|
My names slug ive come to kill a couple minutes |
|
Whats up with the way, that everybody gathers around each other |
|
So they can steal each others sound |
|
If its all about gettin down with the get down |
|
How long i gotta wait for these fools to sit down? |
|
Appears more clear in its simplest form |
|
Nobody sees tears when youre standing in a storm |
|
Abandoning the norm, and handling the harvest |
|
Measuring the worth by the depth of the hardships |
|
I welcome all the hatred you can aim at my name |
|
I held on to the sacred ways of how to play the game |
|
When the soldiers started runnin short on rations |
|
I began tappin the egg, to spark the hatchin |
|
Make it happen |
|
And take this captain to the gallows |
|
I keep steerin us into an area thats shallow |
|
Talkin to my shadow, he advised me not to worry |
|
He said i should plant my tree and let it rise out of the fury |
|
So give me some light, a little love and some liquid |
|
Im gonna creep through the night |
|
And put a plug in the spigot |
|
And when the water grows |
|
And the dam starts to overflow |
|
Ill float atop the flood, holding on to my ugly |
|
[chorus] |
|
Why scream, when you can lose yourself inside the wide-screen |
|
Let life be a bowl of melted ice cream |
|
Or be the deer thats caught in my high beams |
|
Im rollin with the lights on, scared stiff |
|
Reality is just too much to bear with |
|
Paranoid, walkin around careless |
|
No wonder youre in love with your therapist |
|
Go to sleep my little time bomb |
