If you was me
And I was you I think I woulda kept my distance
But that ain't ever how things go
And now we're thinkin' that we shoulda shown persistance
We mighta saved ourselves some time
With just a little more resistance
Cuz Batman's a long ways from Gotham
Drink a perfume lake
You'll still stink at the bottom
Can't feed myself
Can't even feed my cat
(Had enough for that dime!)
Hey let's not talk about that
Tell myself I still got some conscience while this promise intact
A watered down sense of justice
Drunk out front the streets of Salvation Army
Feel my karma's a fact
But let's not talk about that
Lest I confuse my inner blues for need of food or some conversation
No thoughts in these tracks
Couple rhymes and some demonstrations
These endless confrontations only shows what I lack
Can we not talk about that?
Come on
Sometimes I feel like trashin' all my backups
Other times I go and do it
Punch computer
Now the monitor's cracked
But let's not talk about that!
And if we gotta you gonna see I flip from minute to vicious
I snap
Jealous and bitter of people don't consider moving on and giving up to be the same
Of course this feeling's a trap
No we can't talk about that
But trust me
If we did I'd lie about it
If you was me
And I was you I think I woulda kept my distance
But that ain't ever how things go
And now we're thinkin' that we shoulda shown persistance
We mighta saved ourselves some time
With just a little more resistance
Cuz Batman's a long ways from Gotham
Drink a perfume lake
You'll still stink at the bottom
I know I wear a lot of pain on my face
Yo that's the arthritis
Diet eating me alive
So fine
Let's talk about my crisis
No faith
No expectations of grace
Should opportunity appear I'ma fade
Cuz I don't know how to survive on the shelf
I need survivor's guilt
Someone to invade
Feelin' so sickly bout the fact it's part and parcel of my pact
Of falling sick to be exact
No f*ckin' chance in hell we're talkin' 'bout that
So back it up
I've had enough
I can no longer sit beside someone more grand
I cannot stand you
It's tearing me apart to tear you down
But I find peace and comfort
Ease to think you're not as perfect as I've gone and branded you
Ha! (I showed em...)
Get off that totem that I shoved beneath you
Buried in my guts
Yo whaddya mean it ain't a treat to see me hyperbolic
Stupid
Always overreact?
Now you're leaving
Why you talkin' like that?
If you was me
And I was you I think I woulda kept my distance
But that ain't ever how things go
And now we're thinkin' that we shoulda shown persistance
We mighta saved ourselves some time
With just a little more resistance
Cuz Batman's a long ways from Gotham
Drink a perfume lake
You'll still stink at the bottom
