I wanna have my cake and eat it too And have your cake and eat it too Far be it from me to say what you need to do But maybe we should call this a peer review It isnt that you couldnt say this but you didnt But if weve ever met theres probably some of you in it And I dont really believe in using throwaway lines But Im willing to make an exception this time Already over the cliff when you throw it in reverse You reap what you sow unless the locusts get it first I can heel like a dog hardtrained on a choke chain I dont strain so as not to evoke pain Nobody plays fair so you hit the alarm If you really wanna play fair, you can be the pig barn Thanks to my grandpa Drent for that line First it was his, then my dads, now its mine I can judge a book by the font on the cover But I can barely tell one blonde from another Whether falcon, ostrich, starling or partridge Birds of a feather flock to the same garbage And yes, everybodys got a hungry heart One little crush and the gluttony starts When the bloods spilt dont get caught admitting guilt Learn to fiddle now while Romes still getting built This is what it sounds like when doves laugh Ill be gone in revision, I live in the rough draft If you find the thing you love to do and get paid to do it Then the thing you love just became your job and you ruined it Conceived in ecstasy, born after it finishes Wander through the backgrounds of pornographic images Illiterates are living by the letter of the law And the fox guarding the hens has a feather in his jaw I crush Competition like participation ribbons I never count my chickens till theyre headless in my kitchen Give me a pen, Ill sign your cast with a pseudonym The dumb mutt became a sly dog when we neutered him I hope you dont think that I am condemning it But a rose by any other name is still effeminate I am needy and until I have another means I might try raging on behalf of the machine Get off your high horse and fall to your doom I dont wanna know what you call your costume Cause it doesnt matter how many times we go through this In the end, you are just another clothed nudist Which came first the chicken heart or the egg on the face? Im just a peg begging for a healthy leg to replace Im a square peg dreaming about a round hole When they made me they disavowed the mold Weve got names for the planets, theyve got none for us And theyd never hesitate to throw us under the bus Deformed in ways we dont dare expose Somebody tell the wolf sheep dont wear clothes Never a bridesmaid, never a bride Too pompous to flaunt, too clever to hide Corrupt enough to leave a whistleblower breathless Turn over a new leaf and watch it wither over breakfast The world is my ashtray, but I dont smoke So it can hold my toll change till Im totally broke You undercut my motivation and ask me to act The world is my oyster, thats a giant aphrodisiac And this is what happens when you try to appeal To the people less amused by the show than the blooper reel Not everything is gonna be all right But I think theres a good chance some things might Give a man a fish, you improve his condition Teach a man to fish, now youve got competition All we really care about is scratchin where were itchin Fall back on talent if your passion is deficient Now, Im guessing I could be content on Cloud Eight If the upstairs neighbors dont get loud late My honor student beat your dropout senseless Stupidity is not one of the better defenses Im spread thin, but I could spread thinner Old by lunchtime, dead by dinner Wear that badge like a scar of honor My indifference charms your daughter The forbidden apple never falls far from the tree Only say what I mean while I talk in my sleep Shot through the heart, got nobody to blame I guess I give victimhood a bad name A rubber neck, a sweet tooth, lead feet You call shotgun, I call ejection seat Blood is thicker than water and pop is thicker than both of em I respond to the heckles like, Thank you for noticing. One sour note and the doubts appear Like, cmon guys, are we men or Mouseketeers? Do you wanna talk motor, wingspan, upside? Do you wanna conquer or subdivide? Spitting out my words whenever they lose flavor I know why the caged bird needs the newspaper Im crying over milk spilled all over my masterpiece Somehow surprised every time the past repeats I drift past like a blank, unbound page You and me are gonna go and paint the town beige The only rap song with the guts to mention That sometimes snitching is the braver decision Adversity strikes and I grin and bury it Entrench on the fringe like a true contrarian The man at the urinal next to mines crying But hes out of his mind if he thinks Ill be inquiring After the boys of summer are gone The boys of autumn come out of hiding and fall on your lawn Youre poking a dead carcass with a stick If it moves, youre afraid, if it doesnt, you get sick The only thing worse than your bark is your bite First sign of a fight, you bleach your flags white Whole patterns come apart with one pull of the thread I need trepanation like a hole in the head Better safe than sorry, better sorry than remorseless Im forcing drinking water down the throats of horses The answer you need is always your last guess You wont call me a dummy when I ace the crash test I will bore a hole through my cheek with my tongue You can watch me grind my teeth when Im done Ill gouge out my eyes when Ive finally seen enough Even creampuffs seem tough while they demean stuff I know my limits like the back of my hand I know my limits on a firstname basis I signal for help with a flash in the pan The best get to rest while the worst stay famous Aim Less, shoot from the hip, go with your gut feeling Unless its intestinal bleeding You might find you prefer not being believed in To trying to fulfill a destiny beyond reason No place like home but Im spinning my wheels Id rather burn out than be seen clicking my heels Arm to the leg, leg, arm to the head In general, alls well that ends well said
