Took over my girlfriend’s room
My sister’s room’s next door
They live in this tiny shack
I crash here when I’m poor
Cuz I’ve never worked the kind
Of job that’s nine to five
And I dont think I could do it
Even if i tried
(Hold it down now, holdin’ her down now)
I dont wann be rhe fella holdin you down
(Hold it down now, holdin’ her down now)
Or back...
(Hold it down now, holdin’ her down now)
And I dont nobody holdin me down
(Hold it down now, holdin’ her down now)
(Heyla! Heyla!)
La La La La Lala La
Lala La La La La
La La La La Lala La
Lala La La La La
Got a girl, she likes me and
I like her. She’s a friend.
And I play ot cool or else
Im on the street again...
La La La La Lala La
Lala La La La La
La La La La Lala La
Lala La La La La
Party drugs and alcohol
My twenties, what a blur
Think I’m doin alright but
I’m never really sure
Sometimes I freak out and think
My whole life is a sham
Then again I can’t let people
Tell me who I am

Sure yer deranged but yer age is the same
I'm on a meet you again and again
I'm leavin' you now but that don't mean things change
I'm on a leave you again and again
It's a beautiful think when the Cobra is King
Gitchu so bit so you don't feel a thing
Soon you'll be having delirium dreams
Life is one long, wonderous, treacherous dream
I can't believe everything you believe
I can't achieve anything that you need
I'm leaving you now cuz I wanna git changed
I wanna meet you again and again

Less Better

I don't need to be in this world
I never will git much better
Since I came in this world
I never did git much better
I let everybody down
that's why they gave up on em
that's why they're not around
I can't compete in this world
everyone's so much better
no room for mediocrity in this world
you gotta be so much better
I did everything wrong
I guess I'm just not that bright or strong...

Hope I Helped

Ooooh! Thank you so very much for coming out tonight
You could be anywhere in the world right now,
but you're here with me. I appreciate that.
How could I ever tell you how to act
when all your relationships stem from
twisting your fingers crossed behind your back
and holding your lovers to ransom?
Your untuneful anthem, you make up at random
when you see a prospect that's handsome.
whatalot have you not been up for?
Because you look like a phantom.
It's time you get told the truth to,
how you use up whoever you're used to.
So in the case that you should need a hint
as to why you don't have any serious friends,
Hope I Helped I Hope I Hope.
You act so enchanted but I know what's real.
Drop a pill in your cup and dissolve it.
Never quite saying whether you've made a deal
So you won't feel the need to resolve it.
Your heart can't evolve, it just revolves
and recalls while your head's just too dumb to involve it.
Whatalot have you not been up for?
You look and sound like a phantom.
Don't let your connections confuse you;
No one really cares if they lose you.
And if you ever needed a clue why
your own mother say she likes me better than you, I
Hope I Helped I Hope I Hope
Do you think it's coincidence that the consensus on you is everyone says the exact same thing about you when you're not in the room 'bout how all of the rumors about you or true?
Now I don't wanna fuss and I don't wanna fight and I do gotta bark but I aint gonna bite cuz it aint like we never did have a good time but I do gottalotta bullshit on my mind, like what kind of a person would... and then out of the blue... and then try to act all like you owe em for it? See I'm actually glad that I dun what I did but I don't mean to go into details tho, I'd rather just speak on your character there is a mirror where most people stare in to gaze at the way they behave but in your case what's there is just air, and that's why you look like a ghost- duppied the fuck out jumping from host to host and living through whoever you think is most likely to getting you anywhere closer to filling whatever hole you gotta fill by droppin' them names and poppin them pills.
How could you ever Follow me into My Light?
When you live your life like a phantom
Haunting the shit you could never get right
moaning and throwing a tantrum
or act like you're made of steel
from your head to your heel
if you're human, why do you conceal it?
whatalot have you not been up for
you just float around like a phantom
don't sweat who you gave your screws to
if I see you again it's not cuz I choose to
I hope this gets through to you:
You're seethru. You're ratchet. You're booboo. Your voodoo is stupid. You're kooky. You're loopy, you betchu no one's happy they met you.
So if you ever needed a clue why your own mother says she likes me better than you I
Hope I helped, I hope I hope
And in the case that you should need a hint as to why you don't have any serious friends.
Hope I helped. I hope I hope.
And... can get it too, like I give a fuck about that...
Hope I helped I hope I hope
I just hope I could help you to see how people see you
actin' all highschool like you still a kid
Hope I helped I hope I hope
(Knock 'em out tha box, H.H.)

Here come the big bad apple kid hunchback of Notre Dame
Hangin on ur left and on ur right you need to stretch and yawn
all the young... strike a pose out on the lawn
Skool kids is toxic stalkin hits and clicks on pics, come on
Up on the ceiling like a helium balloon and squealin'
Who Wants Me Now? Be honest, how am I cliché?
The other room is spinnin' who's the guy who, who the guy who- text all them messages in several creepy ways, and postin pictures on their page up every day.
Here come the numutation brat up fast to grab attention
nobody axin bout his past but he just has to mention
you don't know what it's like to be trapped in a flat dimension
is it your... having them sad pretentions
or all the reckless lying tryin to impress the guys who
no one we know wants to impress in any way
and now the room is heavin' leave 'em there so you can breathe
beggin your eyes and smilin' right up in your face
He gotta thing to say for everything you say
Message me back
Message me back, get right back
Message me back
Message me back. Message me back.
My girlfriend like to drinkadrink so much she almost die
I know she alright when she hiccup and unclose her eye
We ain't ascared to tell the one another what we think
we leave that baby mama drama on tha kitchen sink
Here come the little Caesar help. tryin to gitchu by yourself
talkin bout how they're all mad and they think you should feel bad
meanwhile the boss is barkin off the hook and always squawkin' look,
got my situation squared. You don't need me there. Take a vacation, man I'm so glad you have to retire. Aint got no collar so don't holler stay away. I hate to say your time was wasted but I'm leavin, bye. You kept me, held me under while I ran in place. Thought you could kill it off of pimpin out my name

Hold me in your heart
If only it weren't hard to do the right thing, ma
If only you were smart
Hold me in your heart
The snow is sticking to the windshield
Giants look like windmills
Found a home with
People like Don Quixote
Get hot honey and I might hop
Right into the ice box
Easter bonnet
Winters made you histrionic.
The rain is blowing off the rooftop
Staring at the juke box
Waiting on the
Gizmo to drop it on ya
My God I remember my song
As good as my first home
Seersucker
Suit in the heart of summer
Dot dot dot. I got it... yeah, yeah...

Slow

People tell me greater things come for the ones that wait
I think the only thing coming for them is old age
What are all these great surprises lumbering to my grave?
And why did I wait around for them if they're so great?
Do you think like, you get two lives?
One for now, one for later?
Do you think like, when you die
You're gonna jump out
And meet your maker?
Why Do You Wanna Be Slow?
Why Do You Wanna Be Slow?
Copper bells in the love season February thoughts
All the things that move to slow go faster as they rot
Windy basket cotton tail across the parking lot
No, you don't get any time, but time is all you got.
Do you think like, you get two lives?
One for now, one for later?
Do you think like, when you die
You're gonna jump out
And meet your maker?
"Patience is a virtue, darling. Have a little faith,"
So the fencing lollygaggers retardingly say...
Why Do You Wanna Be Slow?
Why Do You Wanna Be Slow?
