"Ignored"
I'm just standing here for my benefit
Tried to be nice, but ya thought I was bein’ sarcastic
Still, I stay in your way in hopes someone will
Talk to me and not be ignored and rampant to kill
Fine, I’ll sit here twiddlin’ my thumbs
While everyone thinks I’m "Tweedledum"
I know that I exaggerate
But for sure I will exasperate
I’ll keep on keepin’ on
Rockin’ it til the break of dawn
Then I’m off to bed, safe and sound
If only it’d be that profound
But I gotta feel (gotta feel)
Like I’m the third wheel
In this 'family' of mine
‘Twas once one worth my time
But I’d rather feel depressed
Bitch, moan and complain that I’m upset
Kept up in a house full of ‘skeeters
And not enough heaters
This isn’t a Vacation
This is Rehabilitation
Of state of mind, Everything works out 'fine'
While your other son masterminds the world of crime
Thinkin’ he’s gonna be a bum
He’ll forget that, unless he is as dumb
As I’ve said he is, but you complain
About ice water in hell, when it’s rainin’
Something just tells me life will be harder
Than this I’m livin’ now, I gotta get smarter
And understand why everyone thinks
When I’m mad, that Mikell’s the one to link
To the tift that I’m havin’
But it’s not just him when big things happen
Don’t come cryin’ to me when I was right
He’ll annoy you to no end - I’ll put up a fight
If I have to live with him for two more
Years or even an addendum to the score
17 years will be fine, I’m movin’ out
You’ll wonder why because you paid
No attention to me when I was feeling doubt
About if I was going crazy and I stayed
In that residence for 7 years before
This new one here - only three or four
It was better then
Because I got to spend time with Jen
Somebody slap me where it hurts
Cause the truth does when it lurks
Around the corner playing peek-a-boo
Enough with the eye-rolls, I’m through
Done, kaput, over with these never-ending
Bills that you have to keep the world spinning
While you could have been paying
For things to entertain me when laying
In the same room with this a**hole
Of a brother - it makes me wonder a whole
Lot if I was adopted or if Mikell was
I am the best kid I can be, 'cuz'
I sound like Matt Kaylor - the loser
The local drug pusher and user
Mystery got into your eyes Maw
It’s kind of like when you let meat unthaw
The core is softer and easily tender
I’ll stay the way I am, a slender
Little white boy with things
Going on inside his brain
My conscience is asking
When I’ma get the balls to start packing
I would’ve done it by now if I had a place
To stay - a quiet, solemn space
With no annoying little brothers
So much time in one day - enough to smother
A victim at heart with no covers
Except a long-lasting distant lover
And she’s thankful she doesn’t
Have to deal with him - pushin’ and shovin’
Whom I wouldn’t mine cookin’
In an easy bake oven
She’s my salvation
After waistin’
My time until I call her up
That’s how much
I love my babeh
Can’t you see this, I’m going crazy
Without her I’d be
Slung around some old oak tree
Hoping for someone to shoot
My head off with a quick nuke
"Go to bed," the man said
While I looked up at his shiny head
"How’d you get to be so bald?"
"One day, you’ll be without any at all."
