Listen, you lions and tigers and bears
Notoriously known as those things that scare
Wreaking havoc and causing disasters
Well, now I'm coming for all you bastards
My foot's on the pedal, my fork's in the steak
I'm ready to blow your horse off the reins
Shake my thunder and hear me roar
You've never heard a thing like this before
I heed not your warnings, I fear not your stare
My time bombs are whispering “Come close if you dare”
While your cavalry creeps through my 'hood
I've got my goon squad posted up in your woods
We're down in the valley, we're up in the cut
We've got all the trees scared out of their trunks
I got all my people outlining your block
While your friends and allies are outlined in chalk
We took all them bodies and gave them the toss
We showed your mama's mama's mama who's boss
We may be thugs, gangsters, and playas
But not like dem lions and tigers and bears.

no i didnt say that-but i guess it can be kind of catastrophic in a rock a bye baby sort of way.-its really just the irony. actually i did tell this one guy-condor i think-to write more dark stuff cause i'd read it. anything depressig or twisted you write-i'll read it.

its like putting teriyaki sauce in oatmeal. i'm the oatmeal and that kind of sauce just doesnt go inside of me. i cant bring myself to that sort of mindset. when i'm happy i dontfeel like"yay its a sunny day" i feel like"yay i wanna run through a wall!" you know what-youve just inspired me to writw about running through walls....

I was just being an idiot. but thanks. thats really depressuring to know. since we're being honest truth, i'd never write about the stuff you write about-its too happy. so when i read stuff like that and say i like it-ITS BECAUSE I REALLY LIKE IT. do your dance.
