Asshole (feat. Skylar Grey)

Came to the world at a time when it was in need of a villain

An asshole, that role I think I succeeded fulfillin'

But don't think I ever stopped to think that I was speakin' to children

Everything was happenin' so fast, it was like I blinked, sold three million

Then it all went blank, all I remember is feelin' ridiculous

‘Cause I was gettin' sick of this feelin', like I'm always under attack, man

I could have stacked my shit list to the ceilin', women dishin' but really thinkin'

If anyone ever talks to one of my little girls like this, I would kill him

Guess I'm a little bit of a hypocrite when I'm rippin' shit

But since when did this many people ever give a shit what I had to say? It's just my opinion

If it contradicts how I'm livin', put a dick in your rear end

That's why every time you mentioned a lyric

I thanked you for it, for drawin' more attention toward it

‘Cause it gave me an enormous platform, I'm flattered you thought I was that important

But you can't ignore the fact that I fought for the respect

And battled for it, mad awards, had GLAAD annoyed, attaboy

They told me to slow down, I'd just zone out

Good luck tryin' to convince a blonde, it's like tellin' Gwen Stefani she sold out

‘Cause I was tryna leave, no doubt, in anyone's mind

One day, I'd go down in history, think they know now because everybody knows

Everybody knows

That you're just an asshole

Everywhere that you go

People wanna go home, everyone knows

Everybody knows

So don't pretend to be nice

There's no place you can hide

You are just an asshole

Everyone knows, everyone knows

Thanks for the support, asshole!

Thanks for the support, asshole!

Quit actin' salty! I was countin' on you to count me out

Ask Asher Roth when he roundabout, dissed me to shout me out

Thought I was history, well goddamn, honky, that compliment's like backhandin' a donkey

Good way to get your ass socked in the mouth

Nah, I'm off him, but what the fuck's all this trash-talkin' about?

The fight was fixed, I'm back and you can't stop me, you knocked me down

I went down for the count, I fell, but the fans caught me, and now

You're gonna have to beat the fuckin' pants off me to take my belt, word to Pacquiao

Momma said, "There ain't nothin' else to talk about

Better go in that ring and knock 'em out, or you better not come out!"

It's poetry in motion

Like Freddie Roach when he's quotin' Shakespeare, so what if insults are revoltin'?

Even Helen Keller knows life stinks, you think it's a joke till you're bullet-riddled

But you should give little shit what I think

This whole world is a mess, gotta have a goddamn vest on your chest

And a Glock just to go watch Batman

Who needs to test of testicles? Not that man

Half of you don't got the guts, intestinal blockage, rest of you got lap bands

Stuck to this motto 'fore they put bath salts

And all those water bottles in Colorado, so get lost, Waldo

My soul's escapin' through this asshole that is gapin'

A black hole and I'm swallowin' this track whole, better pack toilet paper

But I'm takin' no crap, ho, here I go down the Bat Pole

And I'm changin' back into that old maniac

In fact, there they go tryna dip out the back door retreatin'

‘Cause everybody knows

Everybody knows

That you're just an asshole

Everywhere that you go

People wanna go home, everyone knows

Everybody knows

So don't pretend to be nice

There's no place you can hide

You are just an asshole

Everyone knows, everyone knows

Holy mackerel! I'm the biggest jerk on the planet Earth

I smacked a girl off the mechanical bull at a tractor pull

For thinkin' we had some magnetic pull

Then screamed, "ICP in this bitch! How do fuckin' magnets work?"

‘Cause you're attractive, but we ain't attractable

Hate to be dramatical, but I'm not romantical

I'm makin' up words so you can understandable, it's tragical

Thinkin' some magical shit's gonna happen, that ain't practical, you crackin' a joke, it's laughable

‘Cause me and love's like a bad combination, I keep them feelings locked in a vault

So it's safe to say I'm uncrackable

My heart is truly guarded, full body armor

Bitch, you just need a helmet 'cause if you think you're special, you're retarded

Thinkin' you're one of a kind like you got some platinum vagina

You're a train wreck, I got a one-track mind

Shorty, you're fine, but you sort of remind me of a 49er

‘Cause you been a gold digger since you was a minor

Been tryna hunt me down like a dog

‘Cause you're on my ass but you can't get a cent ‘cause all of my spare time's spent

On my nose in this binder, so don't bother tryin'

Only women that I love are my daughters, but sometimes, I rhyme

And it sounds like I forget I'm a father, and I push it farther

So, Father, forgive me if I forget to draw the line

It's apparent I shouldn't have been a parent, I'll never grow up

So to hell with your parents and motherfuck Father Time

It ain't never gonna stop, a pessimist who transformed to an optimist in his prime

So even if I'm half-dead, I'm half-alive

Poured my half-empty glass in a cup, now my cup has runneth over

And I'm 'bout to set it on you like a mothafuckin' coaster

I’m goin' back to what got me here

Yeah, cocky, and can’t knock bein' rude off, so fear not, my dear

And dry up your teardrops, I'm here

White America's mirror, so don't feel awkward or weird

If you stare at me and see yourself because you're one, too

Shouldn't be a shock, because everybody knows

Everybody knows

That you're just an asshole

Everywhere that you go

People wanna go home, everyone knows

Everybody knows

So don't pretend to be nice

There's no place you can hide

You are just an asshole

Everyone knows, everyone knows
