[00:05.502] I get weird, even when I'm by myself
[00:08.076] I make faces, even when I'm by myself
[00:10.881] I talk loud, even when I'm by myself
[00:13.671] I yell "**** that!", even when I'm by myself
[00:16.577] I write raps, even when I'm by myself
[00:19.350] I do dance moves, even when I'm by myself
[00:22.173] I crack jokes, even when I'm by myself
[00:25.061] I say "Hell nah!", even when I'm by myself
[00:28.079] I was shattеred in the early '90s
[00:30.811] Clеan wings in a dirty mind
[00:32.305] It’s South Africa in '39
[00:34.430] It’s people fighting in the foreign wars
[00:36.546] So what's the smallest people can divide?
[00:38.857] Where’s my heart? Where my ankle go?
[00:40.684] It’s some missing pieces of the spine
[00:42.952] I left a little piece in U of I
[00:45.174] I bought some pieces of a human heart
[00:47.341] Three-fifths of mine had been euthanized
[00:49.492] I was my own Dr. Frankenstein
[00:51.706] My hands glowing like Hohenheim
[00:53.608] And that's the only way I sniff a line
[00:56.017] Me bumpin’ me again, it's Christmastime
[00:58.230] Every evening by myself, meetin’
[01:00.534] Memorizin’ mental health secrets
[01:02.422] 'Cause I’ve been looking for some space to lie
[01:04.439] Or wrestling without the racist guy
[01:06.779] Looking up the cover to "Skate or Die"
[01:08.830] I play the same game musically
[01:10.862] I want some big, chunky, gold orangutan jewelry
[01:14.327] I drink whiskey, even when I'm by myself
[01:16.660] I sing songs, even when I'm by myself
[01:19.644] I hit the high notes, even when I'm by myself
[01:22.195] I make plans, even when I'm by myself
[01:25.012] I'm Bo Jackson, even when I'm by myself
[01:27.768] I'm Bret Hart, even when I'm by myself
[01:30.748] I'm James Baldwin, even when I'm by myself
[01:33.628] I tell lies, even when I'm by myself
[01:36.468] I make various hand movements, experiments not proven
[01:40.752] I remember American Bandstand
[01:43.128] I'm nappy-hairier Batman on Apollo
[01:45.432] I was scared of the Sandman
[01:47.045] My Earth is not hollow
[01:48.899] America’s next drop bottle
[01:50.904] Humans lead and bots follow
[01:53.199] You and me were not coddled
[01:55.467] I got ruined knees, I might hobble
[01:57.565] ****!
[01:59.569] I don’t know what to watch
[02:01.469] Some old sitcom, it musta' flopped
[02:03.996] My inner dialogue cuss a lot
[02:05.869] I watched the videos, bust a shot
[02:08.109] I meant to write, but I musta' not
[02:10.123] It’s sensitive, don’t touch the spot
[02:12.290] My tongue’s tied in a double knot
[02:14.403] I’m like Sublime "lovin’s what I got"
[02:16.509] I wrote some raps about the Juggernaut
[02:18.724] And float like Oswald Cobblepot
[02:20.828] And the end when it you know...
