lyrics
Sitting in a waiting room
Had a thought occur to me
I'm working overtime and
already planning knee surgery.
Friends haven't heard from me
Again I'm hospitalized.
This time it's stress migraines
behind my eyes.
Big surprise, my schedule's unwise,
When I finally checked out, I realized sometimes, that
What you need is a nosebleed when full speed
To knock you down a peg or two
before you can proceed
Something big enough to
knock you back down to Earth.
Appreciate your life,
Kick back until you've found your worth.
To tear my ACL, it only took a second
Then a full 6 months just trying to correct it.
Exercising on an off day
Exactly how I straight tore it
Finally got some free time
but I still had to pay for it.
Hopefully I learn something, upon closer inspection
of my life on stand by from the nose-bleed section,
Perfection obsession, from myself I need protection,
'cause I'll end up back here if I don't head a new direction.
Everything is imperative! Night owl. Early riser.
What did I really miss, when I was strapped in that immobilizer?
Nothing. Except peeing by myself.
Plus getting sponge baths has an impact on mental health.
Everything is so important when you're talking fast.
But you get to know your friends, when you're stuck in a walking cast.
On the couch all day
receiving good cooking
Knee looks like a grapefruit
And I'm still freaking good lookin!
As soon as she notice
me, you're getting no kiss.
Lens your girlfriend, I pull her focus.
Calm down. Don't you know what a joke is?
Or how many painkillers I took when I wrote this.
Or how many docs I overpaid to go inside of me.
They've got themselves a foul empire: Duck Dynasty.
I smell like Si in heat. All jokes aside, I'm beat.
I wanna bathe alone, to Stop me
Call the Coast Guard.
Fuck a maybach
I just wanna play Mozart
In a brace with my sweaty toes
keeping that steady flow
until I make it big
I'm living off of spaghettios
No parties with my bros.
That shit costs money.
And now I'm broke as a joke
but I'm a lot less funny.
I guess that tends to happen
when you snap one of your knees
and we all know money doesn't grow on trees,
but please, I'd settle for a money bush
Since my funds tail off like a bunny's tush.
Give 'em a push,
make 'em laugh, make em think.
Come on over to my crippled lap
you're never too old for spankins. Wink.
Can't even take a drink
Hopped up on this vicodin
Finally got some free time
Maybe my friends will like me then?
I should start inviting them, but I gotta get this writing in,
I call to pick them up then forget to take 'em like vitamins.
Can he rap while handicapped? Take it back, bitch.
You're getting smacked or I'll stuff your ass in my fannypack
Fancy that, I make it hard to function.
My life is like my ACL
It needs reconstruction.
