I wear my scars like the rings on a pimp
 I live life like the captain of a sinking ship
 The one thing that i can guarantee
 I'm like a stepping razor, i suggest you stay fair with me
 Been payin dues for a decade plus,
 Before that i was just another face on the bus
 Tappin my foot, to the beat on the radio
 Dreamin 'bout the mic and the money and the ladies
 Oh mom, i promise im gonna be large
 Someday im gonna stop tryin to borrow your car
 Gonna go far, with charisma and skill
 Until they put my face on a million dollar bill
 Atmosphere, its just a ten letter word
 Discretion is the name of my cement-feathered bird
 And if you didnt hear, [bad word] whatevers heard
 I think you got the sickness i suggest you get it cured
 Caught up in the mix, of a bottle full of fix
 Im gonna hobble down the street 'til i reach [bad word] creek
 Its not that i dont like you, i just dont wanna speak
 You [bad word] freak
 Now keep your days out my week
 The world keeps a balance, through mathematics
 Defined by whatever youve added and subtracted
 Im pushin on the hammer, to trigger the brain
 Embrace how i live it, god loves ugly

 [bad word] 
 God loves ugly...

 Once upon a time in minneapolis, yo
 I [bad word] near had to steal the show
 I stepped on the stage, who is it?
 My names slug [bad word] to kill a couple minutes
 Whats up with the way, that everybody gathers around each other
 So they can steal each others sound
 If its all about gettin down with the get down
 How long i gotta wait for these fools to sit down?
 Appears more clear in its simplest form
 Nobody sees tears when youre standing in a storm
 Abandoning the norm, and handling the harvest
 Measuring the worth by the depth of the hardships
 I [bad word] all the hatred you can aim at my name
 I held on to the sacred ways of how to play the game
 When the soldiers [bad word] short on rations
 I began tappin the egg, to spark the hatchin
 Make it happen
 And take this captain to the gallows
 I keep steerin us into an area thats shallow
 Talkin to my shadow, he advised me not to worry
 He said i should plant my tree and let it rise out of the fury
 So give me some light, a little love and some liquid
 Im gonna creep through the night
 And put a plug in the spigot
 And when the water grows
 And the dam starts to overflow
 Ill float atop the flood, holding on to my ugly

 [bad word] 

 Why scream, when you can lose yourself inside the wide-screen
 Let life be a bowl of melted ice cream
 Or be the deer thats caught in my high beams
 Im rollin with the lights on, scared stiff
 Reality is just too much to bear with
 Paranoid, walkin around careless
 No wonder youre in love with your therapist
 Go to sleep my little time bomb
