Somethingness
(专辑: Temporary Forever - 2002)
Now this... this Busdriver name. What exactly are you trying to say? Are you trying to say that you're reaching out to your fellow underclassmen, your fellow proletariat, you're trying to bring them into the
light? (I'm saying nothing.) I
mean now, when you mean nothing, you don't mean 'nothing'! You mean it in a
kind of existential, nihilist, Nietzsche type of way? I
mean, tell me what's going on. Explain to me, brother. Explain to me (Nothing.) All I
wanted was insurance and a
dental plan But ladies and gentlemen All they do is grow daisies at a
mental can Get a
job! Easy for you to say, you're a
member in some rap group, but at least I
stood for something I'm a
baby in a
trash hoop who's good for nothing Now, upon buying this album you've done three things: Proven that you're a
hippie counterculture sun chaser And proven that you're unaware of your contribution to my fundraiser For me to rule the
world, and you want to join the
club? To get a
renewal, you need a
referral from a
previous employer But we know you're a
schoolgirl who needs a
devious lawyer To prove otherwise in a
court of law. Get this nigga a
sport's bra! But that's besides the
point You've also proven that mundane tasks to you are like slave labor So you don't do nothing If you were in grave danger Your problem wouldn't prove sudden And went inside to wake up early you at the
alarm clock and the
snooze button in If you were stranded on a
deserted island you would probably farm crops and stew food hunted You inspected all the
fun and you laugh, thinking if things go according to plan In the
song, you'll be subordinate in a
tanning salon Wearing a
white shirt, with cold air freezing Drinking soft drinks, yet dying of thirst, but for no apparent reason Well, what are your plans today? Well, I'm certainly not gonna do any of the
house chores But I
think I'm gonna dabble and do up my dissertation that I'm gonna present to Al Gore With an unpresentable mouth sore About 'nothingness' There's nothing Nothing that's better for enhancing the
chance of being empty And it'll hold a
certain mystic freedom And freedom is in a
hole that people fall and die in Record full of nothing but a
bebop, an amoeba auction, a
hummus falafel A
dick in the H
in the
Haitian abated Graffiti verbatim preventative medicine Preventing hip nethers I
get up in her venery heaven Adam and Eve are having a
meeting with a
cat so... so Soulful with a
bowl-full of no, no, no Nothing... ever happens, here's a
leather napkin Riding on a
killer wildebeest in the
wilderness Of the
Middle East and back to Italy To set this scene of nativity in the
hills of Mississippi With a
dollar-fifty and a
bottle of whiskey and a
woman to bake me some biscuits and a
little piece Of Feliz Navidad, you never had a
dad So Tenenbaum or MacDonald after Ramadan Fast enough to catch me placing those splashes, vagabond Don't be laughing, you David Hasselhoff in a
castle box Castlevania building pencils in Pennsylvania with the
stencil stain you'll love End of the
verse, so hand me your purse I'm the
one that you will see at the
Italian Hill near you See, I
like at the
opera where a
life is a
death, and I
see that... the
death is near (And on a
basketball court backboard is the
head of a
deer) There's something I
wanna tell ya It's been eating me from inside out Let's make it a
point to get together sometime soon And we'll talk Come close enough so I
can whisper I've been meaning to tell you that Oh shit I
forgot what I
was gonna say Never mind Hear my tummy moan! 'Cause I
spit up all my vom, but you know I
gotta get a
muddy gnome from puppy cones Before they know these songs are full of absolute nothingness And contrary to popular belief, our lucrative rate is in grass root cuttingness From CD duplicates burning I
don't hatch bad news and a
money clip But I
have a
tumor, as seen of a
baby's mother tit on the
mammogram A
dozen mother ships plan to land, so I
could melt the
demand with heat-ray gun Instead of going to midnight mass with DJ Run Or rich white trash sedatives house a
plum substance In a
pipe that announce me and cancer as husband And wife, but I
think I'm gonna get a
second opinion (Our blood analysis finds there's nothing wrong!) so I'll get a
third opinion (There's nothing wrong with you)! It's just that my words are swimming again I'm drowning in my swim trunks doing cover songs with Alvin and the
Chipmunks Holding a
thousand pistol grip pumps sounding "get crunk!" At your grandmother's house doing nothing "Go back to Compton, you dirty nigga, we don't sell watermelons here" Is what I
yell at the
white folks on the
way to gun show once a
year Nigga, some of my best friends are white, and I
love mud sharks just the
same Except for the
ones that come from Africa and got 'Johnson' for a
last name Darth Vader, Rhetoric, Earl Jones James, by the
way What's another name for shit-colored in German? Take a
guess Melanin, you illiterate knuckle-dragging ethnic thief two-fifths of a
person Civil servant, welfare undeserving, never own a
suburban Home, I
hope they raise the
rent so high The
crack money you make couldn't buy you better property curbside In the
game of monopoly you would advance to Run (not Boardwalk) You hide as her pitch-white map cause your corn-fed pig wife gave you penis-envy over the
pony in the
barn Fuck you and the
horse you rode in on. Bestiality porn (don't watch it) Defecation porn (don't watch it). Shit-face drunk from cow-tipping last night Your version of crackery is reminiscing on an umbilical cord before you had to pay for the
rock and hit the
glass pipe Yeah, let's talk about civil rights. A
'spic straight from the
chop-shop put together wrong' If ever there was a
Mexican Transformer he would be a
lowrider named 'Wetbacktron' Con artists hit the
stopwatch and let's play a
barbed wire game Of turntable hopscotch in the
form of a
swastika There's something I
wanna tell ya It's been eating me from inside out Let's make it a
point to get together sometime soon And we'll talk Come close enough so I
can whisper I've been meaning to tell you that Oh shit I
forgot what I
was gonna say Never mind All I
wanted was insurance and a
dental plan But ladies and gentlemen All they do is grow daisies at a
