I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know." Repeats. "
How many worthy of Heaven?
No, not one."
Men and women, kids and children; anywhere you go can find
Needy, greedy, jealous types without a sense of wrong right.
Inner city ghettos to the smallest towns that you can find:
School shootings, suicides, anger issues running wild,
Weed toking, chain smoking, pill popping, sniffing lines,
Alcohol and parasites, soccer moms and trophy wives,
Glued to their cell phones while holding on their baby child.
I'm forever paying dues forever like a friend of mine,
Cool enough to say to me, "they're fragile and they're petrified.""
Spent crazy years with the blue paying dues." "
I know, I know."
You might be surprised of all the things that people hide behind
Hoping that no one will find it funnier than Richard Pryor.
I'm surprised that you're surprised that there's nowhere to run or hide;
Like no one ever told me and I wasn't ever notified
Of rebel yells, corporate ties, trolling on computer sites
Bottom feeding, overeating, overweight and super sized
Bothered easily and wanna fight instead of let it slide
People that you've never met who'd love to give you free advice
You don't have to stand in front of me to think I'm on your side
Knowing when you're not to speak is harder than some words to find."

I've seen too many pigs fly; the sky's become a pig sty.
Off balance like it was a track that wasn't mixed right.
Taking me for granted is to challenge me, which isn't wise;
Like spending your entire day, while out to try to ruin mine.
I've been eating so much humble pie I'd love to share a slice. "
Delicious!"
You're a special kind of special, what is special like?
Talking 'bout your drama while I'm thinking 'all I said was hi'.
Bitter that your life didn't turn it out the way you thought it might
Love to share how much you care but you don't ever have the time,
Talking out your ass like something crawled inside and must have died."
Spent crazy years with the blue paying dues." "
I know, I know."
Sex, gossip, telling lies, find a way to stay alive;
Like I don't even have a name for you to try to mention mine.
Used to be good looking; now it's how I'm just another guy
Who's better looking buying all your drinks for the entire night.
With rhymes blowing you away as if a dandelion
Scalping you like Indians to see what's really on your mind
Aren't you glad that you're alive to take it one day at a time?
Going through it you and I, no matter if it's rain or shine.
What is it you do to thrive; to act as if you won a prize?
With so much water in your well to find it always running dry.
When you establish you have eyes and they aren't colorblind
That's only saying to me that your heart is not as big as mine."
