I suppose I am a former future has been

I did all the math on the back of my napkin

I understand that idiom in an abstract sense

But which side is the back?

I’ve been rapping since I was a little child

Writing verses working in the produce aisle

It’s probably why I never learned those PLU numbers

I was busy cyphering with cucumbers

Unencumbered by the fact that certain rap exists

If they can rap like that, I’m certain I can rap like this

The competition’s way too much the game ain’t zero sum

Don’t meet your heroеs dog, your hero’s probably fucking dumb

If you’re sick of sucking wind then go out for a run

Thеn go out for another run everyday till it’s fun

And look, you love running now. What a great accomplishment

The power of habit is truly astonishing

I don’t have a soapbox, I use body wash

I’d say my calling card is elevated potty talk

My girl keeps our place nice with many succulents

And if you fuck with her succulents, I might get truculent

Mess with the potted plants and get molliwhopped

A lot of life is hit or miss like an eephus or lollipop

I’m lollygagging, heel dragging to the coffin

I know that time is borrowed, let’s explore renewal options
