You think, you think

You think too much, I think

I think you think too much, I think

I think, you don't know what you're talking about (You do, you do)

I must be honest, I hate this slower street

I park all ready to be robbed by people that I meet

I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I hear

I know, I know, I know, got nothing to fear

You keep pushing, you keep pushing, pushy, pushy, don't push me (Don't push me)

I'm an insect, I'm a figment

I'm a chief as a genuine minion

Imaginations, imaginations

Imagine my frustrations

You pick a fight with a .45 caliber

Won't help you

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah

It was a dismal rain that cooled the hot

When it trickled down we all saw spots

Float over, float over

Now I've been in jail for a million years

I got all these people holding me back

I know, I know (I must be honest, I hate this stone street)

I park all ready to be robbed by people

I know, I know

And I'm growing tried

I'm growing tired

It's my favorite mangle

A fanciful tangle

That went down like the phoenix spastic

And spasms and spasms

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah

Suffer the death of what you are

It's now, it's now

Suffer the death of what you were

Has no effect on a hard-boiled world

Worked alone, weary eyed

Found you on a cat skill world

You must follow blind

Just shoot a pigeon-holed pigeon

You're waiting to be sheaved

Just like you sheaved the greases all over your face

And you've got the urge to be a lightning bolt

And you've got the urge to be a lightning bolt

I've gotta tell you, I just don't know

I've gotta tell you, I just don't know

What the fuck you're trying to say? (What the fuck, man?)

What the fuck you trying to say? (What the fuck you trying to say?)

Just sit there and shut your mouth

Just sit there and shut up

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
