[Verse 1] I wear my scars like the rings on a pimp I live life like the captain of a sinking ship The one thing that I can guarantee I'm like a stepping razor, I suggest you stay fair with me Been paying dues for a decade plus Before that I was just another face on the bus Tappin' my foot, to the beat on the radio Dreaming bout the mic and the money and the ladies Oh mom, I promise I'm gonna be large Some day I'm gonna stop trying to borrow your car Gonna go far, with charisma and skill Until they put my face on a million dollar bill Atmosphere, it's just a ten letter word Discretion is the name of my cement feathered bird And if you didn't hear, then fuck whatever's heard I think you got the sickness, I suggest you get it cured Caught up in the mix of a bottle full of fix I'mma hobble down the street till I reach Knob Creek It's not that I don't like you, I just don't want to speak You fucking freak, now keep your days out my week The world keeps a balance, through mathematics Defined by whatever you've added and subtracted I'm pushin' on the hammer to trigger the brain Embrace how I live, cause God loves ugly
[Hook] God loves ugly, God loves ugly
[Verse 2] Once upon a time in Minneapolis, yo I damn near had to steal the show I stepped on the stage, who is it My name's Slug, I've come to kill a couple minutes And what's up with the way that everybody gathers around Each other, so they can steal each others' sound If it's all about getting down, when they get down How long I gotta wait for these fools to sit down? Appears more clear in its simplest form Nobody sees tears when you're standin' in the storm Abandonin' the norm, and handlin' the harvest Measurin' the worth by the depth of the hardship I welcome all the hatred you can aim at my name I held onto the sacred ways of how to play the game When the soldiers started runnin' short on rations I began tappin' the egg to spark the hatchin' Make it happen, and take this captain to the gallows I keep steering us into an area that's shallow Talking to my shadow, he advised me not to worry Said, I should plant my tree and let it rise out of the fury So give me some light, a little love and some liquid I'mma creep through the night and put a plug in the spigot And when the water grows, and the dam starts to overflow I'll float on top the flood holdin' on to my ugly
[Hook]
[Verse 3] Why scream, when you can lose yourself inside the widescreen Let life be a bowl of melted ice cream Or be the deer that's caught in my high beams I'm rolling with the brights on Scared stiff, reality is just too much to bear with Paranoid, walking around, careless No wonder you're in love with your therapist Go to sleep my little time bomb
