I am not a slim shady
man-hating feminist
white rapper
trying to find his niche
while he digs a ditch
to find the life he puts in
9to5 shifts
and try to move the foot
but it's stuck in the list
and I'm rapping 'cause I'm pissed
I'd be angry if I quit
you'd be angry if I did
so this angle's a bit
broke
but I'm not gonna get it fixed

I spoke
plain for the first time
since I spoke my name in verse and
never want to do the slow talk just to get there first
I never want to go buy just to get their words
and I'm so like
all these rappers shit
but I'm slow to notice it
wonder if I'm supposed to fix
or just float like I'm a fish
so I want to know what's in
but I'm always out
never picked for shows
and too shy to ask
so thats
heavy to hold
beating fast and barely raspy
getting old
so getting past me
is easy
just remember the bones

take it slow
don't let it get to you
take it all in at once
and you'll fall beneath it
you'll fall beneath it
no need to lose
no need to lose

Trying to prove my point
adrift with william willis
he went out to sea, out to see if he could feel it
but he never got his legs
always trying to be but days
catch up and waves
stash a face for us
to hate
make us beg for love
naked and waiting for love
I take it and I tug
my rope around my neck
trying to break the chainage up
but lexicons decipher the page
and make it complex
simple beauty in ink will fade
when I'm gone and dead
but
I'm a living blog, post until I live at large
and hope for little shards
I'll never die an old man, bold,
go slow man
so wrap myself in whittled blankets
look out the window as it rains and
hope for futures making music
while I wait for better things

take it slow
don't let it get to you
take it all in at once
and you'll fall beneath it
you'll fall beneath it
no need to lose
no need to lose

Trust myself to make the right decisions
fell from things I can't delete the image
now it's never, how it's nothing
I can't ever sound like something
I'm a complicated soul-washing
the dust out of my body
you ought to call me
but I'm always out of reach

never answer the phone
even if its you and I want to speak
but I'm true to my word that I don't know what I'm doing
make it up as I do and
I'm not confident
that's why I have a name on top of my name
just to compensate
I don't seek fame
I don't seek financial success
I don't seek swag
I don't seek sex
so take away your comments and complaints
about this ominous way to spend my summer
drawing about my name
in one word

take it slow
don't let it get to you
take it all in at once
and you'll fall beneath it
you'll fall beneath it
