Tall Tales

[Chorus: Solemn Brigham]
Trouble smells, hell sells
I'm just trying to make it to the fame like Bell
There is no other fire-eater who can a-do this-a trick
Trouble smells, hell sells
I'm just trying to make it to the fame like Bell
Young man, watch the acrobats, notice how they walk the tightrope

Trouble smells, hell sells
I'm just trying to make it to the fame like Bell
Trouble smells, hell sells
I'm just trying to make it to the fame like Bell
Trappers get slain, rappers tell tall tales
Do the math again, claim that the name won't sell

[Outro: Samples]
Kool-Aid, get your Kool-Aid
