about

this is the track that really got me into the zone that allowed this project to exist.

lyrics

i like basketball
don't like hockey much
try to make me play
and catch h-e-double hockey pucks

it's nonsensical
check the credentials to find
i'm probably whimsical
mostly
so toast me

see me on the streets with my seeds and approach me
ask me why i got kids you might go ghostly

a nice scheme for attracting a kind girl
seen brothers chilling with blondes, well, they like the swirl

i can't blame them, love is just love, right?
but you probably won't find it drunk on a club night

see you in church
i'mma be at the corner peeking in the door
you'll be all like "dude, what you ain't in here for?"

you can't say i didn't keep a promise, your boy will keep it honest
i'm eating reheated omelets

and sausage, trying to keep the heat off my wallet
gambled with the bosses, my buddy mouthed off

now he's needing to be defrosted
i'm just trying to walk these dogs and represent
woozy humans with nausea

i owe companies uncomfortable sums of money
so buy this rap track so i can have a second chance

i know you thinking, "Doc, i need one too
but i love you dog, here's all the bread i have"

thanks guys, here's a shout in the liner notes
in exchange, appreciative i can entertain

yep, i'm damn near dead but still drip game
so watch your noggin if i put down this pimp cane

i make weird raps, only i can get away with
sitting in a basement, i dare a kid to say shit

if he does then we can agree to disagree
might invite his fam over for rotisserie

i'm an adult, i solve problems fairly well
plus i know grisly tales i can't bare to tell

(Verse 2)
you're a boy scout
wit soiled trousers and oiled mouth
plus you rap like boiled trout

i've resorted to rapping about rappers not rapping their raps
in ways that are palatable

i'm having to pull the saddest of dull past bull
to gather the full attention of the masses involved

so here's a cup, drink of it, CURSED
i tricked you, you mad you ain't think of it FIRST

i get to, do what i want, without asking
i'm lordly, The Freshest Prince

like i just left an orgy of evidence
at the crime scene to move in with
auntie
you stupid and salty
cuz i get to be goofy and raunchy

and all these good people do is applaud me
and you? all you do is sniff glue in dark hallways

major bonus baby, Sharky Shark always
Al Pacino, screaming and spitting while the song plays

thin lines between protector and tyrant
minuscule spectre and giant
riding in a volkswagen jetta

or riding in private jet, flying over tropical islands
it's timing

allow humility and confidence to co-conspire
or the be the ruler of a kingdom on fire

they so enraged we ain't ushering in a golden age
they rolling over in graves like snow tires

over cold pavement, those who know
know they don't know nathan
so any occasion and location

they go praising my known creations
and for that next ep they waiting, wholly patient

if they knew all the dumb shit i do on a daily basis
i'd have to make some lifestyle changes to stay fit

so the people willing to pay stay convinced
so every verse is aimed for the fence
