My name written in blood My soul covered in rust My songs written in mud I'm in the trench with no one to trust The things I counted on been ground into dust God bless the child if it's a sprout under the ground with the C.H.U.D Except for falling in love Ain't no better feeling on the earth Than getting a smirk Wiped from off of your mug Undecoded and then voted "The Least Likely to Budge" Take your chances while the answers always "all the above" Good luck calling my bluff Had to lay the hammer on your hunt and gathering stuff It was rather abrupt Set the balance for battalions too wary to love Resters cross the battlefield This barren shit is barracks or bust Nobody taught me not to stare at the sun Only photocopies for the class to share and discuss Man, your mathematics made for fawn for finding the sum That ain't nearly what's up I'm covered in that grit Covered in that sludge Covered in that muck Covered in that mud See I'm covered in that sweat Covered in that blood Got covered in that stuck Covered in that mud Yeah, time to make the donuts Eat, drink, annihilate the bogus Wide awake and snarling The dark wings opening on my darling I speak in holy code and keep the rodeo alarming, homie Old eyes parrot a roach that won't die Slow night spirit looking for a hive to ghost ride Over the river through the woods I eat the bread i spoon the mush Keep it dirty, we prefer misshapen over cookie cut My office hours are noon for thirty seconds Then it's office into the tempest for berries and buried treasures Trade tall tales with lepers and lost dogs Swing claws at pinatas and the shapes of all y'alls Hey, the new voice of a defective species Reflect from the cheap seats Checking his cheat sheets Eat a raw horse heart Yum, yum, four stars At the fork is a forfeit of a foreign march I'm covered in that grit Covered in that sludge Covered in that muck Covered in that mud See I'm covered in that sweat Covered in that blood Got covered in that stuck Covered in that mud [Verse 3 Homeboy and Aes, alternating] Swap a ace out for a joker Rise with the rebels, feisty, feral My poker face is not for playing poker Never die, never shy from the pedal The number on my ticket reads eternity Up in the wee hours, bark in a building See it Feel it I'm steady as the fingers of a surgeon Aware the destination is as absurd as the excursion Aware the extent of the hilarity will vary And the climax and the ending all depending on the version Spongebob PJs, dreaming of deep space Sleep spooning a nuclear briefcase Spoon sugar till his teeth ache, three cheers Two for his team, one queen in the [?] I'm covered in that grit Covered in that sludge Covered in that muck Covered in that mud See I'm covered in that sweat Covered in that blood Got covered in that stuck Covered in that mud
