lyrics

Fluidity is the name of the game
That I'm losing on my vain quest to fame
I was born with a set of genetics
That did not predestinate me to be good at rap aesthetics
Let me preach to you, and this point is emphatic
Rubbing your hair on a balloon is electrostatic
Kid, I appreciate your ambition's galactic
But let me tell you a strategy ain't the same as a tactic
Tactictoc
I'mma give your door a knock
'Cause I heard you wear a Stetson you got from Edison and that you've got some medicine
That's supposed to help with writer's block.

"Fine", you say, "this guy's got a message
And he relays it without a degree of professage
But how can I know for sure his story ain't embellished?
Should a sheep trust a wolf just 'cause she knows she will be relished?"
Well, no! Duh. But there's another reason
You can trust me aside from the fact that my flow is pleasin'.
"What's that?", you say. Well, it's 'cause I'm freezin'
Out here and I'm not in a position to commit treason.
"Okay", you say, "that's good enough.
But recently I've had it very rough
My wife developed a cough
And - wooooooah. You didn't tell me you had superpowers."
And I say, yeah.
But I only use 'em for good.

Your brain starts meltin'
My empathy is heartfelt and
Limited to your wife and kids
What will they say when they see you blown to bits?
I'll take them out for dinner at the Ritz
Tell some jokes about you and we'll all have laughter fits.

You met a super hero
And now you're dead (nowwwww yooouuu'reee deeeeaaad)
And I met your wife
And we had lots of sex (fuuuuuckkked yooouuuur wiiiiife).
