Opportunity's knock was really just the pizza man I have the unactualized potential of seven human beings Trapped in this frail frame of ashy knees I wrote this desecrated corpse out of bed with the strength of Hercules Brewing a cup of coffee is no small fucking feat! Matter of fact, neither is shuffling my feet I'm prone to mumbling Because my mind is a rock-garden that you stumbled in At them we thumb our noses upwards And I swear to God I'd give my life for one of my brothers You can be Donnie Darko, I'm more like Donnie Brasco I'll always be poor, that way I keep the taxes low I'm an imposter, this genre is incorrect I just wanted to be the next Inspectah Deck
I think I'm really liable Well that's really good enough for me I used to waste prayers, other rap guys would like my songs And I read the Tao Te Ching and realized I was completely wrong I guess it could be Either/Or like Kierkegaard I swear I hate these rappers as much as Tipper Gore Even so, I should build a better rapport If all else fails, I'll open up a bodega or corner store Honey buns is ten cents, barrel juices for a nickel My father taught me how to get myself out of a pickle I got a dream where I drink milk from glass bottles And I don't want a car or anything with a throttle I'm picking gigantic apples with Robin Pecknold The evil of the deck is stacked, I'll never fold I'm pensive, yes, and at my dreamiest If you couldn't tell, I don't drink, but I've been reading Boethius
My homies are boy-scouts who give directions with a compass rose I'm a hornball who will probably hump your nose I'm a slave to all my insecurities And the tragic hero in a play by Euripides Every single one of my heroes has let me down But I guess that's how a young man gets his feet off the ground Ho-here my Vonneguts, I'll probably have a hissy fit A rocket scientist whose day job is picking mitts I'm sort of like the Elton Brown of this shit
I wish hospital gift stores sold hugs I live decatively with thrifted Persian rugs Sitting in one place, meditating for eons Is how I managed to feel so great, surrounded by peons I don't mean to get so egotistical Fumbling with the words to this old negro spiritual I live in Wisconsin, I've never met Justin Vernon Should I ban this life to be a busselin' herdsman? I've flirted with girls who only spoke Farsi I feel at home in a cabin, on Lake Escatarsis I cry every time I watch the Shawshank Redemption I'm not angry with Young Money Cash Money Billionaires But when these walls fall down, I know who'll be ill-prepared Opportunity's knock was really just the pizza man
