[00:29.98] Heaven, have mercy on the hypnic jerk you blame for your speech
[00:40.39] Walk around the block again
[00:43.07] Wait 'til I feel cool and straight
[00:45.46] With a diaristic bent on undertaking
[00:49.52] Careful, steady
[00:52.13] Are we steady?
[00:54.57] Cruel and ready
[00:56.79] I'm not bossy, I'm the boss
[01:00.81] Shooter, not the shot
[01:03.03] On the tip and fit to execute
[01:06.70] I'm chief, not the overthrown
[01:10.66] Captain, not a crony
[01:13.28] So if you wanna row, you better have an awfully big boat
[01:35.29] Holding a package from a total stranger who claims to know me
[01:45.87] Naw, you never knew me, man, not even a fraction
[01:50.58] You just glimpsed your own reflection in a gold sheen
[01:54.50] I'm not bossy, I'm the boss
[01:58.36] Shooter, not the shot
[02:00.85] Well-composed with keys to raise the skate
[02:04.22] I'm chief, not the overthrown
[02:08.16] Captain, not a crony
[02:10.63] So if you wanna throw, you better have an awfully big stone
[02:53.98] We could hang out for the summer while you wait for your girl
[02:58.78] Dip a toe 'til it's soaked and freezing
[03:03.81] But just because I let you kill time dangling me from the quarry
[03:09.90] Doesn't mean that I won't land on my feet
[03:16.71] That's cause I'm the boss
[03:19.07] Caller of the shots
[03:21.66] Sutanejo, never spit to me
[03:25.25] Chief, play my own right hand
[03:28.72] Not haggish, but the hag
[03:31.18] How naive to trample
[03:33.32] She who's running the stampede
[03:36.53] I'm raising the skate
[03:38.58] Look, I'm raising the skate
[03:41.70] I'm raising the skate
[03:46.58] I'm raising the skate
[03:48.72] Look, I'm raising the skate
[03:51.56] I'm raising the skate
