michigan j. wonder

[Refrain]
I get weird, even when I'm by myself
I make faces, even when I'm by myself
I talk loud, even when I'm by myself
I yell "Fuck that!", even when I'm by myself
I write raps, even when I'm by myself
I do dance moves, even when I'm by myself
I crack jokes, even when I'm by myself
I say "Hell nah!", even when I'm by myself

[Verse 1]
I was shattered in the early '90s
Clean wings in a dirty mind
It’s South Africa in '39
It’s people fighting in the foreign wars
So what's the smallest people can divide?
Where’s my heart? Where my ankle go?
It’s some missing pieces of the spine
I left a little piece in U of I
I bought some pieces of a human heart
Three-fifths of mine had been euthanized
I was my own Dr. Frankenstein
My hands glowing like Hohenheim
And that's the only way I sniff a line
Me bumpin’ me again, it's Christmastime
Every evening by myself, meetin’
Memorizin’ mental health secrets
'Cause I’ve been looking for some space to lie
Or wrestling without the racist guy
Looking up the cover to "Skate or Die"
I play the same game musically
I want some big, chunky, gold orangutan jewelry

[Refrain]
I drink whiskey, even when I'm by myself
I sing songs, even when I'm by myself
I hit the high notes, even when I'm by myself
I make plans, even when I'm by myself
I'm Bo Jackson, even when I'm by myself
I'm Bret Hart, even when I'm by myself
I'm James Baldwin, even when I'm by myself
I tell lies, even when I'm by myself

[Verse 2]
I make various hand movements, experiments not proven
I remember American Bandstand
I'm nappy-hairier Batman on Apollo
I was scared of the Sandman
My Earth is not hollow
America’s next drop bottle
Humans lead and bots follow
You and me were not coddled
I got ruined knees, I might hobble
Fuck!

I don’t know what to watch
Some old sitcom, it musta' flopped
My inner dialogue cuss a lot
I watched the videos, bust a shot
I meant to write, but I musta' not
It’s sensitive, don’t touch the spot
My tongue’s tied in a double knot
I’m like Sublime "lovin’s what I got"
I wrote some raps about the Juggernaut
And float like Oswald Cobblepot
And the end when it you know...
