[Verse I] Had one too many one way conversations With the licky-licky lord 'Till I grew a scissor tongue And c-c-cut the cord Put the phone on the floor Detach the wires in my head Took awhile to accept that that line was dead
[Hook] Didn't never wanna not live forever [x3] Didn't never wanna not not wanna live
[Verse II] Nah, it didn't matter if the laughter didn't come after the bad joke If i was down with the filthy rich or flat broke Accepted by the Aryans or black folk Cause i was carrying this weight until my back broke Wasn't trying to be no hip hop god or raps G.O.A.T Shootin' to be a rock star like its my last hope Eyeballin' that pack of smokes, do me in! Graduatin' on the crack coke, do me in! Knocked of a paddle boat in the middle of the castle moat Kings men are yelling GRAB THE ROPE!
Three sheets to the wind! Three sheets to the wind!
[Verse III] I talk like a sailor, my mother is one That's why i got this sixth sense of direction and my split tongue Taught me how to go with the flow when the winds come Curled up in a ball and tried to hide inside a kick drum While the crew is gettin' piss drunk i had to purify my own and drink up I had to save and conserve recycle my salty words to keep the meat on my bones all pres-s-s-served
