I don't know what that means but I know it flows here
Oh shit, there I go being a dick again
Look at me, I can say the longest word in the dictionary

I don't know much but I know
The future's bright, the future's green
The future's me, the future's I
Maybe you'd understand me a little better if you were high

Do you like my DJ I-I-I-IQ?
Make no mistake I'm just as high-igh-igh too
If you say the wrong thing about me
Your career is something that you can say goodbye, bye, bye to

How's your album doing? Mine flew
This time around I'm doing what I did on the last one times two
I need some doubts and have you seen the state of your eyeballs?

Don't piss me, don't piss me, don't piss me off
Don't piss me, don't piss me, don't piss me off
'Til we stop there will be no falling, no we're giving everything we've got
'TIl the wheels fall off we'll be rolling, yeah we go anywhere we want

La-la-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

Me, I attract beef
I eat tracks, that's me
Jack D, Hackney
It's in my blood, and we

Act silly to the phone
Taxi and I'm home
Bad B, black sheep
Bag of beans and an O

Yo, I'm getting high tonight
Where women who make do getting by tonight
I like the life, but I ain't into courting
I'm only into spooning if it leads to forking

I'm back buzzin'
I'd f*ck it even if she was my damn cousin
Please don't, please don't think I am lonely
Even though I'm swimming in women for the [?]

I ain't tryina catch nothing
I ain't lighetning up, I'm still as mean
Still as drunk, still as high
Still as lean, still as Green

Stood still on a pair of stilts in a distillery
The last time I got- it involved the guillotine
