Lyrics
Burnt pride is a crazy thing
But now what does it take to make you feel me concrete?
I ain't your maรฎtre d', I ain't on pain relief
This ain't make believe, I ain't on no ankle leaf
I tried to speak in a rational manner
Tried to get my point across using regular means
Even patterned my delivery, similarly
After something you had said so that
You would not interpret me differently
But my head's on a tree swing
Your debt's still lingering
Why you erect gates with codes, really nobody knows
And why's it always close when I'm told it's my approach?
But let's suppose just for the sole sake of argument
That despite the spite and all the ill will you're harboring
That me, Lyrics Born, all this power that I'm harnessing
That I didn't come in here to do no doctoring
That I came in here to do a little bargaining
Grease teeth, eat food from apple polishing
Maybe hail a cab for my local congressman
So he can hook me with the landlord parliament
And I said up, move, hand-picked my operatives
I clean 'em up, send out a squad of garbagemen
And spread the goodwill all in the environment
And all my false doctor men and all my Carson and Jens
Now I try to be wise 'bout who I'm targeting
The key is make the young folks offerings
So that they don't become adults that are demonstrative
Or else my chances of retirement go spiraling
So then I work my way into their subconsciousness
I tell them always use caution, now cautiousness
Because, are you absolutely positive
That you can make it without us and still be prosperous?
You need to look at me and my accomplishments
Hey, I got an idea, let's start a partnership
It'll be just like living in the Harlequin
And we'll feed our pond fish these ostriches
We'll feed the snarkity self-doubt flies and ticks
And speed them layer after layer up their confidence
'Til it's one planet of homogenous
Versus one dumb broad view optimist, come on
Alright, now this is what we gonna do
We gon' burn pride, yes
Burn pride, worldwide
Burn pride, indeed
Burn pride, rock
What's up y'all? This is Lyrics Born
Big Bad A is in the place once again
Ladies and gents, families and friends
Nobody is owning me, bring it in
Burnt pride is a crazy thing
What does it take to make you feel me concrete?
I ain't your maรฎtre d', I ain't on pain relief
This ain't make believe, I ain't on no ankle leaf
I tried speaking in a rational manner
Tried to get my point across using conventional means
Even patterned my delivery, similarly
After something you had said so that
You would not interpret me differently
But my head's on a tree swing
Your debt's still lingering
Why you erect gates with codes, really nobody knows
And why's it always close when I'm told it's my approach?
Okay, what's appropriate now? Your royal holiness, you are
Hanging with foliage in front of an audience
High five Napoleon, low five a scorpion
Then and only then will there ever be an opening
Well, that's just your big wet blanket of power
You weigh us down with double talk 'til we think we're insane
But if you're trying to save your pride
You're trying to save your pride
As far as I'm concerned that shit is going down in flames
No more tiddly ass riddles, you think I ain't mentally apt?
I see you slither 'round my ankle like I ain't gonna react
No more you nibbling on a prido while you digging my half
No more everything's all righto when I can't even stand
No more fiddling with the maps, no more belittling the past
No more l-l-l
