[Intro]
So, um...
If I was gonna say just one thing to y'all tonight
I'd say, set the artist free
I'm talking about this artist, in here
Set it free
I'm saying, quit your day job
[Verse 1]
Now, I know a lot of you people here
You're saying
"I can't quit my day job
I've got kids to feed, Jack"
Quit your day job
Focus on your craft
One time
Before it's all over
You've died
You've squandered it
You fucking robots!
[Verse 2]
Now, after a couple of years
Of you focusing earnestly on your craft
K.G. and I will swoop in
We will check out your progress
And we will encourage you
To continue
Or we will say, stop
And then, seriously, you must stop
Or penalties will be created and enforced
'Cause listen
This is the problem
[Chorus]
Sometimes you follow your heart
Sometimes your heart cuts a fart
That's the cosmic shame
That's the cosmic shame
[Verse 3]
And I know what you are saying now
What makes you guys so fucking good?
I don't fucking know
And I don't like it
I stay up going, fuck
Why can't everybody fucking have it?
[Bridge]
'Cause this is the thing
Some people learn it on the streets
Some people learn it in the schools
Me and K.G
We were fucking born with it, holmes
'Cause, check it out
[Scat solo]
That shit came off
The top of my fucking head, y'all
[Outro]
(Off the top of his head, y'all)
Oh God! Why? Why? Why? Why? Why?
It's a cosmic shame
Thank you
