lyrics

Hey
Happy New day
Shoutout to people who are hard of hearing

I got them hot tortilla fingers

I got a bunch to eat
It need to hit the skillet for a minute
Chop it up and add spinach

I've turned into my favorite cook
No school or books to inspire
I'm never shook to flip tortillas on an open fire

Like chestnuts roasting Jack Frost was boasting
he said he knocked you the fuck out
And the part of the story that stuck out
Was the part about the wailing
He said he sent you sailing thru the air
and when you landed over there
You let out a deep and pitiful moan
I know it's true cause people showed me
video phone footage
Lookin like you had a bad day
I guess it's ok for you to say things that I can't say

There's no way Jose Canseco could ever see Roberto Clemente
Not even on his best day

Sammy Sosa shoulda did commercials for Motorola
When his arms were big like the size of boulders

Back in like 1998, 1999
What a time
I used to party hard
I was in my prime

I could run a suicide and still stop on a dime
I could jump as high as the sun could shine

I had books and books of rhymes I could spit out my mouth
I could throw a tennis ball over the house
I could do a back flip but just on a couch or mattress

I used to sleep all night and play all day
Now I rise before the sun it's still dark and I'm wide awake

Thought I came to LA to relax my mind
Jokes on me
Clock struck 3
I'm up still stuck
In a New York State of Time
