I get weird

Even when I'm by myself

I make faces

Even when I'm by myself

I talk loud

Even when I'm by myself

I yell, "Fuck that"

Even when I'm by myself

I write raps

Even when I'm by myself

I do dance moves

Even when I'm by myself

I crack jokes

Even when I'm by myself

I say, "Hell naw"

Even when I'm by myself

I was shattered in the early '90s

Clean wings and a dirty mind

In South Africa in '39

It's people fighting in a foreign war

So what's the smallest people can divide?

Where's my heart? Where'd my ankle go?

There's some missing pieces of the spine

I left a little piece at U of I

I bought some pieces of a human heart

Three fifths of mine had been euthanized

I was my own Dr. Frankenstein

My hands glowing like Hoenheim

And that's the only way I'd sniff a line

Me bumping me again, it's Christmas time

Every evening by myself, meeting

Memorizing mental health secrets

'Cause I'd be looking for some space to lie

Or wrestling without the racist guy

Looking up the cover to Skate or Die

I play the same game musically

I want some big, chunky, gold, orangutang jewelry

I drink whiskey

Even when I'm by myself

I sing songs

Even when I'm by myself

I hit the high notes

Even when I'm by myself

I make plans

Even when I'm by myself

I'm Bo Jackson

Even when I'm by myself

I'm Bret Hart

Even when I'm by myself

I'm James Baldwin

Even when I'm by myself

I tell lies

Even when I'm by myself

I make various hand movements

Experiments not proven

I remember American Bandstand

I'm a nappier, hairier Batman

On Apollo, I was scared of the Sandman

My earth is not hollow

America's next dropped bottle

Humans lead and bots follow

You and me were not coddled

I got ruined knees, I might hobble, fuck!

I don't know what to watch

Some old sitcom that must have flopped

My inner dialogue cuss a lot

I watched the videos Busta shot

I meant to write, but I musta not

It's sensitive, don't touch the spot

My tongues tied in a double knot

I'm like Sublime, loving's what I got

I wrote some raps about the Juggernaut

And float like Oswald Cobblepot

At the end, when he, you know
