[Intro/Hook]

I don’t want my baby born

With a heart that’s made of chrome

We all feel so connected, yet we all feel so alone

I got lost in the screen

Forgot what it means

To turn off the machine


[Hook]


[Verse 1]

I always felt like I'm kind of an uncommon man

Been vibing on the jam since mama got a sonogram

I stay moving like a wanted man that shot a man

While I’m looking for the promised land in a dollar van

They can’t shake me like I’m wavy off Klonopins

So if you hate me, you can say it to my hologram

I ain’t got a fuckin clue why they fuck with you

I’m irresistibly gripping like koala hands

Well, it’s sad cause they proved my suspicions

They only feed a hungry man food for religion

But how is Tom Cruise getting booed by the Christians

Who let a faith healer say he’s moved by a vision?

Well, this for the girl that’s really got a hold on me

The younger me that thought there’d never be an older me

The folks that were old enough to grow up with a rotary

And youngins that were busted in the ovary to jodeci


[Hook]


[Verse 2]

Lemonade was a popular drink

Said the ghost of a guru in a bottle of ink

But no matter who I outwit, y’all mad about my outfit

Sheeeit, y’all don’t ever tell the models to think

You’re trying to critique all of Soul Khan’s clothes

‘til you’re lying at my feet like you’re Voltron’s toes

Say tomato? i’ll hit you with a to-ma-to

Fuck a double time, i’mma rhyme Brokaw slow

I’m contrary

Like selling Jordans for Starburys

And even more since I got married

Trying to bury all the spirits i’ve been plagued with and make sense

Of the questions that I been wrestling since I got hairy

I don’t rock with you fashionistas

Son, it’s on like the Contras and Sandinistas

I will crush any obstacle that’s between us

And take your heads as a pledge of your fans' allegiance


[Hook]
