[USHER]
I am a Disney usher
I'm barely scraping by
My discontentment comes in many shapes and sizes
But I woke up this morning
I told myself to try
I told myself that I would make no compromises
Today...
A meeting with my landlord
Who makes me miss my train
And I smell awful cause there is no time to shower
I plaster on a smile
Pretend I have no brain
Make nice with asshole tourists hour after hour
Today...
Today, I plan to change my whole life forever
[THOUGHT, spoken]
Usher, surprise! How you doin'? It's your daily self-loathing! I had some time to kill, so I thought I'd drop by to remind you just how truly worthless you are!
[THOUGHT, spoken]
Hey Usher, how you doin'? It's your financial faggotry and baby, we need to chat about this situation with Shitty Bank Student Loans
[USHER]
Rewrite that shitty lyric
To make the ending land
Condense the repetition to its most essential
Define a formal structure
So people understand
Pull out the stops to show his story's full potential
Today...
Today, I plan to change this show for the better
[THOUGHT, spoken]
Usher? Head of corporate niggatry here. Just checking in to see if you found your unapologetic Blackness yet, cause your numbers are in the toilet with the Black Excellence crowd and you're real close to cancellation. Coon!
[THOUGHT, spoken]
Usher, as supervisor of your sexual ambivalence, you can rest assured that I have sealed the gates of your body and mind so that nothing can get inside your shitty butthole until you give the word
[USHER]
I want to break the cycle
That's so ingrained in me
But change comes way too slow and I am in a hurry
There's all of this rejection
Which brings such misery
But with my white girl music, I drown out the flurry of
Today...
I am a Disney usher
I'm barely scraping by
My discontentment comes in many shapes and sizes
When I wake up each morning
I tell myself to try
I tell myself that I will make no compromises
So days like this just get me
I hate days like today
Days when I face myself, but see the same reflection
Someone who's stuck rewriting
And stuck in his own way
Someone who plans to edit every imperfection
Today...
Today I plan to change myself -
[THOUGHT, spoken]
Oh girl, whatever!
