Self Portrait

I said I was a musical genius, I said I was a musical genius

I said I was a musical genius, I repeated it till it became meaningless

Because you assume I was joking, and then you thought about it

Like, he's not joking, listen, it's entertainment

But if you listen the genius is in the arrangements

See, I wasn't kidding, wasn't bullshitting

Anyways, you can't fire me now 'cause I'm quitting

I'm at home in a taxi cab, self absorbed, the musical Maxi Pad

I like sunsets, long walks on the beach

I don't rap like Big Poppa because I don't preach

The closer I get to closure I realize writing this is sheer torture

Today, it's a real scorcher

I think I'm gonna set fire to my own self portrait

The closer I get to closure I realize writing this is sheer torture

Today, it's a real scorcher

I think I'm gonna set fire to my own self portrait

I'm way beyond snob, I'ma Louis Vuitton slob

You want the truth, no prob, I see the face of God in a blow job

I see the truth in Eric Cartman, the Salvador Dali

And Dolly Parton, and even Chris Martin

When I dance to Viva La Vida alone in my apartment

I'm at home in a taxi cab, self absorbed, the musical Maxi Pad

I like sunsets, long walks on the beach

I don't rap like Big Poppa because I don't preach

The closer I get to closure I realize writing this is sheer torture

Today, it's a real scorcher

I think I'm gonna set fire to my own self portrait

The closer I get to closure I realize writing this is sheer torture

Today, it's a real scorcher

I think I'm gonna set fire to my own self portrait

The self portrait, I wanna torch it, I love it but I want to divorce it

Who's there? It's only despair, I try to avoid the void but it's just there

So when I grow gray like Dorian, I won't be boring

Because I think about historians, I'm going through a difficult stage

From young Nicholas Cage to present day Nicholas Cage

I'm almost forty, there's a bunch of folks to whom I should say sorry

I should write down my whole life story, Chilly Gonzo, memento mori

I'm at home in a taxi cab, self absorbed, the musical Maxi Pad

I like sunsets, long walks on the beach

I don't rap like Big Poppa because I don't preach

The closer I get to closure I realize writing this is sheer torture

Today, it's a real scorcher

I think I'm gonna set fire to my own self portrait

The closer I get to closure I realize writing this is sheer torture

Today, it's a real scorcher

I think I'm gonna set fire to my own self portrait
